Hi,
I was sponsored by my current employer, however that was after working for them during a working holiday. I am now the HR manager for the business and I constantly receieve emails via our website asking for work and sponsorship and to be brutally honest unless it is a job with a skill shortage in our areas then we dont offer sponsorship, we currently have 3 guys going through the sponsorship process but they are actually in Australia at the moment whilst we wait and we decided we would like to keep them on if possible after they proved to be great workers during their Working Holidays to Australia.
If I post adverts and recieve good candidates from overseas who dont have a work visa I usually dont consider them especially if have good local candidates of course or otherwise good candidates with work visas and aprox arrival in Aus dates.
As far as Sales Team Leader jobs we have a call centre as well but we have never had a need to look overseas as there are always a lot of local candidates who apply so that may be why you dont hear back from jobs you have been applying to. I do know there is a company in Aus called Freespirit who acts as a recruitment company and also offers sponsorship packages, so you may find more success contacting them or at least someone like that to point you in the right direction to try and get a business sponsorship.
Hope my personal insight is of some assistance though of course I am certainly no expert on such things.
Regards
Gem
