Workinitiatives is able to offer Labour Market Testing for every job advertised on

Workinitiatives.

Labour market testing (LMT) in Australia is a requirement that employers must follow when they want to sponsor foreign workers on a temporary or permanent basis through certain visa programs, such as the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa and the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa.

LMT requires employers to demonstrate that they have attempted to recruit local Australian workers before offering the position to a foreign worker. LMT aims to ensure that Australian workers have priority in the job market and that businesses only employ foreign workers when they cannot find suitably qualified Australians to fill the position.

To satisfy LMT requirements, employers must advertise the job vacancy on at least two national job boards and the Workforce Australia Government site, such as on job boards or in newspapers, for a minimum of 28 days. They must also demonstrate that they have actively searched for local candidates through other means, such as referrals, job fairs, and outreach to community organisations. Employers must provide evidence of their recruitment efforts, such as copies of job ads and records of their attempts to contact local candidates.

If you want to advertise your roles across multiple job boards and satisfy LMT requirements, then you should enable this feature when posting your ad.

Once your ad is listed, you can access the information for that LMT qualifying ad including:

All this information is easily downloadable via Workinitiatives to later send to the department of Immigration for visa applications.

To list a LMT job, log into your Employer account here and here if you are a recruiter.

If you are a Migration Agent, please register or login with Migration Marketplace here.

Once you are in your account, click on Post a Job in the top right corner:

Next, please turn on this option at the top of the ad - Does this Job Advertisement need to meet Australian Labour Market Testing (LMT) requirements?

Once the LMT function is enabled, it will only allow you to enter LMT compatible ad's as per the government guidelines. I.e. if you try to list a part-time role, this is not a valid LMT role and will not be allowed to be posted.

Please complete the rest of the job advert as you need it.

See this article, if you need further guidance with how to post a job.
