It is the responsibility of the Employer to do the application for a work permit on behalf of the foreign national(s).
The process takes 30 working days and includes the following:
The attached ESSA opportunity form should be completed and signed by the employer with all the necessary information concerning the vacancy.
Once completed, we will capture the opportunity on our workseeker database to check available candidates that meets the criteria.
If we find suitable candidates we refer them to the employer to be interviewed (the employer has to forward the interview notes as part of the application).
An inspection would also take place at the premises of the employer to ensure the company complies with labour legislation.
