Migrant Talent founders, Nirary Dacho and Anna Robson met at the Sydney Techfugee Hackathon in November 2015. They banded together to solve the problem of refugees struggling to find employment in their field and launched Refugee Talent. They soon realised migrants also faced similar obstacles and expanded their service to Migrant Talent – a digital platform to connect skilled migrants with companies offering short and long-term job opportunities.
