Your Future Begins Here
Unfortunately, due to current New Zealand Immigration constraints, we are unable to progress applications from outside New Zealand’s borders unless NZ Permanent Residence status can be evidenced.
The Waikato region is emerging as a technology centre for NZ and there is growth in all industries in the region but particularly in the IT sector. As a result, there is a shortage of particular skills/experience profiles that has lead us to explore the international market for suitable candidates.
Immigration to the Waikato (as opposed to Auckland) attracts an additional 30 points in the Immigration assessment system and some of our clients are accredited employers with NZ Immigration and, in some instances are able to offer relocation assistance.
Recruitment Process Overview/Requirements
An overview of the process from start to finish is as follows.
Candidates need to understand that, for their applications to proceed, they must:
- Have started or be prepared to start an Immigration Application
- Engage with a licensed (with Immigration NZ) Advisor and provision of documentation either confirming approval of Visa or assessment that (with a job offer) they will secure a work Visa and/or permanent residency. A list of licensed advisors is available at: https://iaa.ewr.govt.nz/PublicRegister/Search.aspx
- Be prepared to move, live & work in NZ for 2 years. Only candidates that are able and prepared to relocate to the Waikato in NZ for a minimum of two years should apply
- Be prepared to pay for a ticket out to NZ if required for an interview. Only candidates that are prepared to pay for a return trip to NZ for the purposes of second and final job interviews should apply.
