Today, we are thrilled to announce that Capricorn Group has acquired Recruitment Innovations Pty Ltd trading as Australian Skilled Migration (ASM), a migration agency based in Victoria, which specialises in automotive and other industry international recruitment. 

Our State of the Nation Report has told us that one of your top challenges is finding skilled workers. At Capricorn we’ve heard you, and we have been working hard to provide further opportunities to support you. By acquiring ASM, it’ll be easier for you to recruit international workers, while contributing to the ongoing success of Capricorn. 

The skills shortage is an ongoing issue for the automotive industry. In addition to acquiring ASM, Capricorn is actively working to improve outcomes through key initiatives like our annual Rising Stars Awards which celebrates and promotes emerging talent, helping to build a strong pipeline of skilled professionals for the future. Next year you’ll see even more Career Expos, connecting future automotive professionals with employers as well as continuing to report on issues facing the industry through our State of the Nation Report.  

Like Capricorn, ASM share the same principles and values, supporting small businesses, valuing people, and building strong communities. Please join me in welcoming them to our Capricorn Community.
