Australia Hospitality Boom: A Looming Recruitment Crisis?

Located in the middle of the Pacific and Indian oceans, Australia hospitality boasts of its wonderful beaches. While it booms as a tourist destination, it faces a serious recruitment crisis as a job destination.

The high number of tourists impacts the economic activity of Australia positively. The current growth even outpaced other sectors. Places like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane leads the region with the top attraction of tourists.  Flexible hotel accommodation packages and Australian’s passion for international cuisine play a significant role in the hospitality boom.

International passenger traffic reaches record levels. Annual growth on passenger movements has been consistent at more than 5% over the past five years. Job ad growth reflects the increased business activity within the competitive market.

The Recruitment Crisis

The increase in tourist numbers contributed a lot with the rise in job ads across the hospitality and tourism sector. 123,000 extra workers are foreseen to be needed by the year 2020 for it to survive.

However, hotels and restaurants are failing to attract younger generations who are better versed in working conditions. No one in hospitality can confidently tell that they can find staff. While there is an evident demand, the staff they need are difficult to find. Hence, the supply of well-trained capable workforce is highly-critical.

Skill shortage sprouted as a major threat to Australia hospitality. Hotel, restaurant, and tourism staff are in high demand. Most jobs are full-time, and earnings are categorizable as above-average. The high demand, however, translates to below average unemployment in the sector.

Global Recruitment

19,000 more waiters, 11,700 more bar attendants/ baristas, 15,700 more café/ restaurant managers, and 2200 event organizers are projected to be needed until 2020. This increase in demand has also reflected on their salaries and incentives.

The surge of leisure travelers drives job growth in the Australia hospitality sector and tourism recruiters are expected to expand productivity solutions to provide the sector’s requirement.

Employers are being encouraged to attract the brightest hospitality talents for their establishment. The competition has been tough among industry key players with the increase in demand. With the current enhancement of food and beverage and accommodation experience, businesses are under pressure in the recruitment of hospitality talents. Australian companies must employ foreign workers because they couldn’t find sufficiently qualified Australians.

About one foreigner in 12 Australians was employed by the sector. This signifies why the Australia hospitality heavily relies on global workers. It’s never new where any flourishing dining or hotel establishment in Australia, at the very least, employ an international staff.

Like the Philippines, Australia is home to friendly citizens. So, it is not surprising that its hospitality industry is one of the busiest and most dynamic in terms of job opportunities.

New Zealand Engineering: Rebuilding the World Down Under

New Zealand engineering is desperately short of skilled professionals across all disciplines while in the middle of the largest infrastructure boom in its history brought by reconstruction efforts after the destruction of major earthquakes.

Billions of dollars have been overpouring into projects due to the two major earthquakes that have destructed most of its largest cities. Engineering firms are finding ways on how to deliver each project in a faster, safer, and cheaper way. But despite all the massive undertakings, enough engineers to man each project were found lacking.

New Zealand engineering firms have been doubling efforts to attract talents. Some of which have even hired non-Kiwi applicants. Even the smallest companies in the industry find it strange to not receive any application from a New Zealand qualified engineer in every job posting they had recently. The good news is, engineers in New Zealand need not be registered by law.

It so happens that local talents are deeply scarce due to snaffling by larger firms and overseas employment or emigration. While local engineers are going out of their own country, talents from abroad were queuing from overseas to get into New Zealand engineering.

Engineering NZ’s statistics reflected that only 7 percent of Kiwi graduates had studied engineering. This shortage eventually leads to New Zealand engineering crisis.

Engineering Recruitment Boom

Apart from the holistic lifestyle within its scenic landscapes, working Down Under also means unique and complex roles that will grow your skills and experiences. The calmness of Kiwi culture attributes a lot to the kind of living any aspiring worker will expect in New Zealand. It is affordable to live in NZ given the great quality of life it can offer.

With a maximum of 40 work hours per week, flexible work arrangements, competitive salary, New Zealand is an ideal country. With a relatively small population, the country has always been seeking workers from overseas to fill skill shortages across many industries.

New Zealand engineering has been booming in recent years. This comes along with the fast growth of the Kiwi economy and the lowest unemployment rate in the developed world.

Skill shortage has given way to the entry of skilled migrants. Engineers, carpenters, joiners and building surveyors are in high demand. These key positions play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s infrastructure landscape.

A number of roles which include civil and structural engineers, highway and transportation planners, water resource engineers, geotechnical engineers, and landfill design engineers are being recruited in various locations across the country.

Structural engineers are in demand to check the safety of existing buildings, while civil engineers will be needed to help in the massive rebuilding. Chemical engineers have remained steady and strong while petroleum engineering showed significant growth with increased activity in oil exploration.

While electrical engineers are the most abundant in the country, it is still not enough to fill in all vacancies.

Rensol offers PEOS and E-registration Assistance to workers

Along with the promotion of ethical recruitment and our mandate to an above and beyond service, Rensol launches its own PEOS online and E-registration booth where workers can take it for free with assistance from our recruiters.

PEOS Online and E-registration are the mandatory procedures for all aspiring Overseas Filipino Workers for them to know all the necessary information on the overseas job application, documentary requirements and costs, and a scheme to protect them against illegal recruitment.

All OFWs must accomplish this two as a pre-requisite of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). Recruitment agencies can only submit documents of workers who have completed the PEOS online course. This aims to ensure that all deployed workers will be good ambassadors of the Philippines and will not be runaway employees due to culture shock or lack of information.

The same thing goes with e-registration. This is POEA’s online registration facility where aspiring applicants will have their profiles registered in the official database of the agency.

While workers are ideally expected to have it prior to applying to a licensed recruitment agency, Rensol Recruitment noticed that most workers haven’t taken it even before their deployment. A PEOS Certificate should be an additional certificate when applying for a job but many applicants have none of it.

Applicants without internet access may use our facility to take this service for free. By just taking the PEOS online seminar and e-registration, one worker will surely be abroad-ready.

PEOS Compliance

In a span of seven minutes per module, an applicant can finish each video seminar, including the assessment test. Upon completion, the user will receive an email notification of their test result and a certificate of completion.

The first module is about P.R.I.C.E.S.T. which stands for Physical mobility, relationship, income, career movement and direction, expenses, skills, and time. Module 2 is about where one can find employment the legal way. Module 3 tackles the POEA’s campaign against illegal recruitment and teaches users about the schemes employed by recruiters.

Module 4 is about the fees that an OFW needs to pay should he decides to work overseas. Module 5 provides users with details that they need to look into when signing contracts. Module 6 provides information about a particular country, its culture, and customs. Module 7 is about staying healthy and keeping safe in their host country, and Module 8 provides the users with a directory of POEA officials should they need assistance.

Fastflow Malaysia: Clinched Faster than Expected

Right after securing a partnership with Tiger Scaffolds, along with a dozen other New Zealand clients, Rensol Recruitment & Consulting immediately closed another deal, this time with a construction management giant’s Malaysian branch. Fastflow Malaysia, a member of the highly specialized Fastflow Group, is a well-known solutions provider for rainwater drainage management in building projects across the Asia Pacific. They are also a constant recipient of the prestigious BEI Asia Awards and Singapore Business Review (SBR) Management Excellence Awards.

Fastflow Malaysia reached out to Rensol after learning that the fastest growing ethical recruitment agency satisfied a previous manpower order for Classic Advantage Sdn Bhd, one of the leading manufacturers and providers of precision plastic parts and molds for engineering construction in Malaysia. The latter, being a parts supplier, referred Rensol and its above and beyond recruitment service to its peers.

Fastflow Malaysia placed a ‘test order’ to asses and evaluate if Rensol is capable of sourcing specialized technical positions. Not only did the leading ethical manpower provider delivered, they went above and beyond for their new partner. Every step of the Fastflow Malaysia recruitment campaign was undoubtedly fast. Fast but detail-oriented accreditation process, fast and quality driven candidate sourcing, and equally qualitative and fast deployment. The test order was deployed, and the client is very happy. Rensol is now expecting a bigger recruitment order coming very soon.

Mr. John Paul Bico – Fastflow’s ‘Test’ Order for a Building Information Modeller

This is not the first time Rensol secured a partner within the Malay peninsula. Early clients such as Times Software and Ranhill Bersekutu Sdn Bhd up to newer clients like CBRE – Asia Pacific Business Services, Business Technovise International Sdn Bhd, and Quess Global Sdn Bhd have all used and gained from the top-class manpower and staffing solutions that Rensol provides.

Expect bigger and better things in Malaysia and the rest of Asia, as the fastest growing ethical and international recruitment agency reaches out and deepens its connection with more similarly ethical companies providing more quality driven professional opportunities for more aspiring Filipino workers.

Honest Rensol workers in Russia return found wallet to Uzbek colleague

Three Rensol workers in Russia make us proud by returning a wallet to their foreign colleague with cash amounting to 40k Rubles (Php 32k) and an ATM last September 1, 2018.

Rensol Recruitment deployed Victor Adel, Jr., Michael Algones, and Norven Antenor, natives of Batangas City, as pipefitters to the Tobolsk project site of the Renaissance Heavy Industries (RHI) this year.

Their Uzbek colleague expresses appreciation to the three Filipino co-workers for returning his wallet.

The three Rensol workers were having their free time walking along the site last Saturday afternoon when they found the wallet hanging on one of the pipes they installed. They said that they immediately look for its owner to return the property.

“We have no interest whatever on the amount inside the wallet because we can earn the money with our own hard work,” one worker said.

“The person who left this wallet might need the money,” another worker said.

Arnold Mamaclay, president of Rensol Recruitment, lauds the Rensol workers for their respectful display of honesty in their workplace.

“The three Rensol workers demonstrated that the traits of honesty and trustworthiness are not lost among every Filipinos wherever they are deployed in the world. Moreover, these workers are worthy of emulation by all OFWs overseas. Such action deserves full appreciation and deep gratitude from their countrymen,” he said.

Rensol Recruitment has the largest deployment to the biggest oil and gas and construction projects in the World’s largest country. Rensol is a top supplier of manpower to RHI’s projects such as Yamal LNG Plant, Gas-To-Gasoline Project (GTG), Turkmenhimiya Ammonia and Urea Plant, Sibur Tobolskneftekhim Polypropylene Plant, Phosagro Ammonia Plant, etc.

The Tobolsk project is one of the biggest projects of RHI, Rensol’s partner in providing quality job opportunities to Filipinos bound to Russia and Turkmenistan for four years already.

This partnership provided thousands of opportunities to pipe fitters, scaffolders, welders, and riggers.

Engineering Recruitment Boom in Australia: The Persistence of Perth Construction

Perth construction shows persistent strength and confidence. Consistent construction activity propels the city upward. Like Melbourne, cranes are set to dot Perth’s skyline again.

Traditional real estate building boosts Perth as Australia’s hub of construction activity. Commercial and residential construction output is high with the erection of high-rise buildings. Moreover, town planners focus on escalating skylines as a signature of growth.

The surge of major transformations pushes the city to become a central business district. Investments of international developers boost construction of hotels, apartments, and office spaces. Development of Perth’s tallest building with 75 stories begins along with 60 skyscrapers. Indeed, livability has been emerging with the Perth construction boom.

Overseas developers propose large-scale projects as long-term investments. This sets an estimated 40 percent increase in commercial work or at least 30,000 new construction jobs. Moreover, the flourishing Perth construction market signifies the increasing need for human resources.

However, Perth construction groups express their worry on skills shortage. Apprenticeship drops for the past three years. The State also hinted concerns on its inability to fill the demand for labor as its economy improves. Industries couldn’t find suitable skills even with a spare capacity for construction talents.

The skills of job seekers don’t match what employers actually want. Thus, Perth construction companies started sponsoring visa and apprenticeship to foreign workers.

Perth is a melting pot of cultures. It is home to foreign skilled workers that comprise almost half of its population. Moreso, the influx of Filipino expats plays crucial roles in Perth construction.

With the sun shining all year long and with a salary that elevates way of living, Perth is seemingly a happy place to work at.
