THE ESSENTIALSFind the big five (health, IT, engineering, construction and mining skills*) at the Opportunities Overseas Expo in Johannesburg this February.

WhatThis February’s Opportunities Overseas Expo in Johannesburg is the annual event for employers wanting to meet high volumes of skilled professionals motivated and ready to move to Canada. This is your chance to talk to skilled candidates face-to-face; fill skill gaps; recruit international employees; and promote your company via seminars.

Enjoy an expo experience plus get your message in-front of hundreds of candidates in the dedicated migration seminars.

WhereThe expo will be held at the well known Indaba Hotel and Conference venue, located beneath the Magaliesburg mountains, in north Johannesburg. With an award-winning, state of the art function rooms capable of holding large volumes of people, it’s a very suitable searching ground for employers.

WhySouth Africa is rich with talent, especially in those sought-after areas of health, IT, engineering, construction and mining, as well as hundreds of other industries. With a population of highly educated and skilled professionals who are renowned for being globally-mobile, it’s the perfect place to search for the skills you can’t find locally. The current political climate in South Africa has many people feeling a strong desire to migrate.

At the 2012 expo (visitor stats to follow), over 3,500 visitors walked through the doors.

* The Working In expos attract hundreds of skills from multiple industries outside the top five. Working In attracts the skills directly related to visiting employers.

TESTIMONIALS

South Africa was the perfect choice for us as the culture there is very similar and they have the skills that we are looking for. We had 100 vacancies for air conditioning technicians, catering equipment technicians and refrigeration technicians. We have arranged 51 interviews, taken another 100 CVs and have already made two job offers. The skills here have been good. Our advice to people considering expos? If you have a shortage of a particular skills set, why would you not?

Rob Willing, Hastie Group

We needed to find qualified plant mechanics and to get the WesTrac name out into the community. We found some good quality trades people and collected over 30 CVs that fit and should place at least seven or eight people. It has certainly been more successful than we expected and we’d say definitely get involved as it is worth the trip over.

Joanne Horne, WesTrac

If I walk away with four people I would class it as successful. We have done a dozen interviews; collected 70 CVs and will probably place at least a dozen. We have given away 500 packs and had around 1,000 people visiting our stand. If you are serious about meeting your resource needs then to participate in the Opportunities Overseas Expo has to be part of your strategy.
