Consulting firm Deloitte Australia has a backlog of hundreds of sponsored professionals who are waiting for their working visas to be processed as the firm struggles to fill more than 1000 positions, according to chief executive Adam Powick.
That figure is likely to be an underestimate of the true number of vacancies at the firms. The number of open roles at Deloitte hit a peak of 1500 earlier in the year and has now “consistently stayed above 1000 over a period of months”, Mr Powick said.The Deloitte chief said that more work needed to be done in Australia to focus on skills development and importing skilled workers.
The firms have been opening up alternative pathways to recruit staff, with savvy firms also concentrating their efforts on retaining their best professionals.
