The US–Australia engineering bridge
We are the premier headhunting conduit for fast-growing U.S. technology companies looking to tap into world-class Australian engineering elite — leveraging the E-3, a work visa available exclusively to Australian citizens. Faster, cheaper, and far less contested than H-1B.
We help U.S. teams identify, hire, and integrate the engineers who are notoriously invisible to standard hiring methods. For immigration and relocation matters, we connect you with trusted specialist partners.
The E-3 Visa
Reserved exclusively for Australians. Rarely filled in any given year.
From offer letter to U.S. arrival — no H-1B lottery wait.
Indefinite two-year renewals with no statutory cap on extensions.
Spouses are eligible to work in the U.S. with no restriction.
For U.S. companies
Open your hiring funnel to senior Australian engineers — many shaped at Atlassian, Canva, Google Sydney, AWS, and the country's leading deep tech and AI startups — without queuing for an H-1B that may never come. Peer-to-peer headhunting, rooted in deep market intelligence and absolute discretion.
For Australian engineers
We only present roles where the team, scope, and compensation justify a move across the Pacific. No spray-and-pray, no recycled job descriptions — confidential, considered, and on your timeline.
The process
Translate the technical bar, team shape, and visa context into a sourcing brief sharp enough to find one person — not a hundred resumes.
Work warm networks across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane to surface engineers who aren't on the open market.
Technical calibration, motivation interviews, references — plus an honest read on whether the U.S. move is right for them.
Once the right person is found, we connect the employer and candidate with trusted immigration counsel for the E-3 petition. We stay close to the search until start date — but we never act as migration agents.
FAQ
Australian citizens taking up a U.S. role classified as a 'specialty occupation' — typically requiring a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a relevant field. Most engineering roles qualify.
Lower government filing fees, no annual lottery, shorter petition timeline, and a dedicated annual quota that rarely fills. The trade-off: it's renewable but not a direct path to a green card — though many holders later transition.
No. Many of our placements are the company's first E-3. We have trusted expert contacts we can refer you to.
Spouses qualify for an E-3D dependent visa and can work in the U.S. without restriction. Children under 21 join under the same E-3D classification.
