Hiring from overseas is not a single decision — it’s a legal process assessed in a strict order.

In this episode of Mind the Gap Australia, Principal Lawyer Rhea Fawole explains the three stages employers must understand before an overseas hire can move forward:

1. whether the business is legally ready
2. whether the role itself meets program requirements
3. whether the individual candidate is eligible

You’ll learn why not every occupation can be supported, why role design and contracts matter, and why pushing eligibility checks onto candidates often leads to wasted time and failed outcomes.

This episode is designed for employers and recruiters who want structure and clarity — not assumptions.
