Frequently asked questions

Is SponsorTalent a recruitment agency?

No. SponsorTalent is a marketplace. Overseas and onshore chefs list anonymous profiles; you search them yourself, unlock the ones you want to contact for A$30 incl. GST each, and deal with the candidate directly. There is no placement fee and no commission.

What does it cost to find a sponsored chef in Sydney?

Searching and registering as an employer is free. Unlocking a candidate's contact details costs A$30 incl. GST. A featured job listing is A$149 incl. GST for 30 days and includes five unlock credits. Nothing else is charged by SponsorTalent.

Do I need to be an approved sponsor before I can hire a chef from overseas?

To sponsor a worker on a 482, 494 or 186 visa a business needs Standard Business Sponsorship (or a labour agreement) and an approved nomination for the role. You can search and unlock candidates before that is in place. The sponsorship, nomination and visa are lodged by a registered migration agent; WIDEN Migration Experts (MARN 1576536) can set up the sponsorship.

Are the chefs already in Australia?

9 of the 30 chefs with a Sydney preference are in Australia now on another visa; the rest are offshore. Onshore candidates can usually start sooner, but how long a visa takes depends on the pathway and the Department of Home Affairs, and SponsorTalent makes no promises about timing or outcomes.

How do I post a chef role?

Register free as an employer and post the role. A featured listing (A$149 incl. GST, 30 days) is shown to sponsorship-ready chefs and emailed to matching candidates; applications come to you free of charge.
