May be a bit off-topic, but does anyone have experience hiring someone on a working holiday visa?

I'm from Europe and plan to do some traveling after getting my Master's. I think about stopping in Australia to get some international work experience. Since I already worked a few years in consulting, I would like to do something that actually fits my profession instead of e.g. farm work. Do you think that is realistic or would a working holiday visa be a red flag?

Thanks a lot!

Won’t be realistic imo. From what I’ve seen a lot of working holiday folks are in hospitality and retail type jobs. In high school I worked at a Japanese restaurant and most of my colleagues were working holiday. Given it’s an employers market right now I don’t think you have a big chance. The only avenue here IMO is to try and get in with smaller companies ahead of time and try and work something out if you can bring skills they need.
