Anyone heard of these guys? Who are they recruiting for?

Thanks

With a name like Longreach it's gotta be something to do with Qantas And Jetstars push into Asia.
Longreach is the nickname painted on the side of Qantas 744s.
Another outsource/ undercutting of staff salary and conditions I suspect.
You can read plenty about this on the DG reporting forum.
Good luck all !

So why are they looking for Canadians? I'm sure the talent pool in Oz is as deep as Canada?

They dont want to fight with unions

Longreach says it's incorporated in Hong Kong. The contact phone numbers include one in Hong Kong (a new batch number starting with 3, probably a mobile) and another in Australia (9 digits starting with a 4, definitely a mobile number). The pic on the web "About Us" page is 07L at VHHH in Hong Kong.

It appears they exist in cyberspace. Has anyone actually dealt with this mob ?

They have a strange Face book page too which mentions Qantas. Weird.
