The recent article from AuManufacturing, ‘The Critical Trade Keeping Australian Manufacturing Alive’, has shed an urgent light on an issue we’ve been monitoring at RHL Recruitment Australia, the worsening shortage of skilled toolmakers across the country.
Toolmakers are the backbone of precision manufacturing, essential to industries ranging from automotive to medical devices. Yet, Australia is facing a significant decline in qualified professionals within this trade. The article confirms what many in the industry already know.
At RHL Recruitment Australia, we’re not just looking at the problem. We’re solving it.
While the local talent pool continues to shrink, we’ve been working closely with clients who understand the need to look globally. One client leads the charge by sponsoring overseas toolmakers to fill their critical roles. This strategy is working for them.
Our international recruitment capabilities allow us to tap into deep networks of qualified toolmakers across the UK, Europe, Asia, South Africa and more. Combined with our specialised knowledge of the engineering and manufacturing sectors, we are uniquely positioned to identify and place top-tier candidates ready to relocate to Australia.
