Genuineness of position

Since the last blog was about "Training Benchmark" for visa subclass 457 and ENS (Employer Nomination Scheme), it is logical to touch base on "Genuine of Position" for this post.

In order for the employer to sponsor or employ someone under visa subclass 457 or ENS, the employer needs to show the genuineness of the position. 

The position needs to match the business profile. There needs to be a real need for the employer to employ that particular visa candidate.

There are many ways to show the genuineness of the position. It really depends on the nature and scale of the business.

• Employer might indicate that the business is expanding and needs more workforce in that particular field.
• The skill-set of the potential visa candidate is needed in order for the business to flourish and grow.
• The potential visa candidate is the current employee (under whatever visa that allows him/her to work) and she/he has tremendously contributed to the growth of the business and the employer wants to employ the visa candidate in a longer full-time basis.

That is just a few examples that the genuineness of the position can be met. The employer needs to be a bit creative and sometimes think outside the box to illustrate that.

Whatever the employer does, do not just simply nominate the position to be approved on the basis that "I need staff". That is not good enough for the position to be approved for nomination.
