223112 Recruitment Consultant

Please outline the evidence or data that would support these occupations being added to the MLTSSL.

I came to Australia in 2001 as a backpacker. I was already an experienced IT recruitment consultant on arrival. I was sponsored as a recruiter on a 457 visa and have resided in Sydney since then. Over the 16 years I have paid over a $million in various taxes. I have fathered 4 beautiful Australian children. I have employed and trained hundreds of Australians. I feel I have contributed to this fine country. I now work in the healthcare sector and have indirectly saved Australian lives. I sponsor an ex drug addicted homeless man who is currently clean and back in gainful employment. Had it not been for 457 visa's for recruiters I would have achieved none of this. Tighten the criteria by all means. Check those references more thoroughly to reduce cases of fraud. But please keep the option for exceptional cases.

No

3. Do you consider that occupations need to be removed from the Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSSL) or the Short Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)?
