FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE WORK

DrawPoint places mining and engineering specialists into South African operations and, through employer-sponsored programmes, into Australia. You never pay us a cent — our fees are employer-paid and published on this site. This page is how it works from your side of the table.

WHAT YOU'RE USED TO — AND WHAT HAPPENS HERE

Recruitment has earned its reputation with specialists. These are the habits we refuse, in writing:

What you're used toHow it works here
"Registration fees" and job ads that go nowhereYou never pay us. Fees are employer-paid — and published on this site, so you can see exactly who pays whom.
Wondering if the agency fee is carved out of your offerThe fee is the employer's cost, on top of your package — never a deduction from it. Your offer is negotiated on the role. And we are paid for a placement that holds, not for sending CVs.
Your CV blasted to companies you never approvedNo blasting. On the platform your profile is visible to vetted employers only, and your full record goes to a named brief, with your consent. POPIA governs every step.
Invisible between applications — you only exist the day you applyA standing profile. Vetted employers hiring on the platform — they must join it to see anything — can find your verified profile or request it. Opportunity can find you, not only the other way round.
Apply, then silenceShort lists, not broadcasts. If you are put forward, it is for a real role — and you hear the outcome.
Re-doing certificates, medicals and references for every applicationVerified once, into a record you own. Nothing verified is ever lost.
Cross-border roles wrapped in visa mysteryOn the corridor, the Australian employer sponsors the visa and relocation. We prepare you for it — screened, papers in order.
Screened by keywordScreened by people who came from mining into recruitment — we know what the job actually demands.

VERIFIED ONCE. YOURS FOR GOOD.

Register once and you get a verified record you own — your qualifications, tickets and certificates, medicals and references, checked by people who know what a site requires, then carried with you. Every new course and certificate lands in the wallet. Nobody starts from zero twice.

THE PLATFORM BEHIND THE DESK — OPENING SOON

Your recruiter at DrawPoint stays your recruiter — a person who came from mining, working your brief. Behind that desk sits serious infrastructure: your Workforce Wallet is hosted on PowerHouse Hub, and the marketplace runs on Hired1st — ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, with its own privacy terms. One login gives you your wallet and a live job board, with roles posted across the marketplace's communities — including Australia. The technology does the sorting; our people make the call.

The buttons go live the day the platform opens. Registered your details below? We carry your record across for you.

TWO PATHS, BOTH REAL

A placement lands one of two ways — at home, or across the border. Both start from the same verified record.

South Africa & the African belt

PLACED AT HOME

A role on your home ground — South African and African operations, across all six sectors we serve. No visas, no relocation machinery: your verified record, a real brief, and a start date.

Africa → Australia corridor

PLACED ACROSS THE BORDER

Permanent roles with Australian operators who run their own visa sponsorship and relocation programmes. Our job is getting you sponsorship-ready: screened for international mobility, papers verified before the offer stage.

The corridor, in numbers

Median weekly mining earnings, Australia

Median weekly earnings in Australian mining are A$2,832, against A$1,741 across all industries. Market data, not an offer — every role is negotiated on its own terms.

Additional mining workers Australia needs by 2033

Australia needs 56,000+ additional mining workers by 2033 beyond existing vacancies, and the mining-engineer fill rate is 42% — the sixth-lowest of all Australian occupations. Skills like yours are the constraint.
