Immigration Success – Defined by Most NZ and Australian Immigrants

Starting from January 17, 2022, most companies in New Zealand will be operating with a full contingent of staff, ready to make hiring decisions.

When borders finally open, foreign job-seekers will experience the most anticipated job market in the history of Australia and New Zealand.

The Hottest Job Market in History for Top Foreign Talent

I have seen the talent that is getting ready. The first wave of migrants coming into NZ and Australia will include some of the most successful high achievers I have ever seen. This group is likely to enter during the first few months after the border has opened and they are likely to meet employers that have been waiting a long time to expand their business. Some of the best jobs available will be taken by the first wave coming in, but that will probably not satisfy the total demand for skilled labour. I believe that the second wave of immigrants will be even larger because the success of the first wave will be painted all over social media with stories of “hottest job market in history”.

Somewhere between the second and third waves, probably between 6 and 12 months, the job markets will be satiated with enough talent that employers will have to slow down with hiring and start paying attention to training and supporting existing staff, meeting business objectives, achieving a return on these hiring investments that were made.

There Will Be More Video Hires Than Ever Before

For immigrants that would like to get hired on video calls. this is an area of the job market that will continue to grow. Pushed by necessity, employers have been hiring online in record numbers during the lockdown and I speak specifically about those thousands of medial staff that have come in with border exemptions. They were all hired online! Imagine that, 100% hired online by hospitals ad private clinics nationally. So we can expect to see that opportunity expand.

If you want to get work in New Zealand or Australia, there are 101 ways to improve your chances. Everything starts with your profile and your core skills and how your core skills apply into the existing job market demand. It is just that simple. You can forget about the skills shortage lists and the employer accreditation lists. The stating point is your “value deliverable” as a professional, as a candidate profile and that includes everything that hiring managers want to see in order to confidently make a good hiring decision for their employer.
