For active and passive job hunters…
Tired of getting nowhere in the NZ or Australian job markets? This story will inform and inspire you.
Great testimonial from a great Business Analyst. Pieter talks about the process of his Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and what he did to get HIRED QUICKLY. I appreciate his kind words and wish him well into his bright future.
What are the advantages of getting hired through the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)?
Both employers and job seekers are reporting many advantages. I will get into that in a second. But first, what if you contact an employer that is not yet accredited? I always suggest to simply give this link: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/employ-migrants/new-employer-accreditation-and-work-visa
The link above will explain to employers how easy it is today to hire foreign job seekers.
What employers are telling me about the AEWV:
How easy is it?
I have seen a small one-person tradesman-owned company go through this process successfully even though it was his first time hiring a foreigner. If he can do it, certainly larger companies with some admin staff can do it.
Foreign job seekers and local employers have a clear pathway for working together. It doesn’t take long, it isn’t expensive and employers don’t have to rely on third parties to do the job check.
10x Cheaper?
By comparison, a New Zealander would have to pay up to 10 times more for a skilled candidate by local recruiters versus hiring a foreigner through the AEWV system. Often the quality of candidate is better from abroad also.
Example:
Summary: There is no reason for a local NZ employer to hesitate to hire a foreigner today. The AEWV system allows them to find a good candidate first, get accredited 10-days later, and launch the rest of the process towards a work visa while retaining control in-house the entire way.
If you need help getting to the job-hiring stage, just send your CV to me at tate@employmentforimmigration.nz with a short description of your status. I respond with helpful advice to all qualifying candidates within in 1-day.
“I have received a Job Offer in Australia and the company has sponsored me and applied for the nomination. I am glad to inform you that my 482 Medium stream Visa was approved this last week and I will be heading for Sydney.
I would like to thank you for your encouragement and guidance on how to approach the Job Market in NZ which also helped me with approaching the Australian Job Market. It took a lot of perseverance but it has paid off.”

Jayson Adams
Quantity Surveyor
Jayson has 4 years of experience and already has completed 3 megaprojects in South Africa, including a NZ$50m Cricket stadium. His new employer is getting a “rising star” with capabilities far beyond his job title.
New Zealand employers have been screaming out for front line tradespeople for decades.
During the last 2.5 years, demand gone up but there was almost zero supply of candidates due to closed borders.
So far, we are in the first week of this new Accredited Employer-led Work Visa system and the rate of online hiring from NZ employers has never been higher. Here are the hottest jobs in the market…
Front Line Tradespeople in High Demand:
The ratio of online interviews and job offers is higher than anyone can remember.
What Other Roles are in High Demand?
What if You Aren’t In the Above Lists?
There are too many niche categories to list. Also, I am just typing these down from memory, I am sure I missed some major categories that have incredibly high demand right now.
Here is another way to quickly estimate if your profile might have high demand in NZ / Australia today… If you are a proven high achiever with a long track record for success, you may want to investigate further. Equally, if you are a young rising star with a short but powerful track record, I would like to see your CV.
Logically, it makes sense to be in this market is before everyone else enters, and before demand for your skills becomes satisfied.
HOW CAN YOU FIND OUT?
To get Insights about your chances, likely job demand and best strategies, just send your CV to me at tate@employmentforimmigration.nz and include a statement about your goals. I will respond within a day with helpful insights based on job market realities in New Zealand / Australia today.
“Hi Tate, I trust you are well, just want to share with you and want to thank you again for believing in me and motivating me. You really inspired me.
I’ve landed a job offer with Waste Management and I excepted it. Had the 1st interview yesterday, it went well and about an hour ago the 2nd interview where we discussed employment and offer. I’m confident and excited.
Thank you for all your help, Tate – you made this possible for us. God bless, hope to meet you one day.”Wilton Pieterse
Qualified Diesel Mechanic
(General Motors)
Wilton is a fine young man and a proven professional. His skills as a diesel mechanic skills caught the attention of a New York stock listed company resulting in an online interview and a quick hire. Wilton has just relocated to New Zealand with his young family. It has been a great honour to support some of the best talent that has a considerably high demand here in New Zealand.
Three more of my Clients were hired this week. All of them were hired without any physical meeting, purely online. And the Accredited Employer-led Work Visa system has not even officially begun yet! The market is indeed hot and I expect this trend to continue towards a peak in about September-October. In my view NZ is coming back again as a primary target for immigrant settlement again. Getting ahead of the hiring frenzy will have advantages.
I am Offering Free Assessments to Anyone: If you have a solid skill in any industry, I will gladly assess your profile at no cost and respond within a day. All you have to do is send your CV to me at tate@employmentforimmigration.nz and you may also inform me about your goals and readiness to immigrate.
Many New Zealand Employers don’t yet know how to hire foreign migrants, so don’t be surprised. The employer-led system is only starting now.
If you want to help a NZ Employer hire you today, here is what you can do…
The benefits of the employer-led process are simple to explain:
In the past, employers only issued the job offer and then they often would wait for an immigration agent to confirm or request a change to the job offer in order to achieve compliance.
Today, the process is streamlined. The term “employer led” system means exactly that. Employers control the job offer and the work visa at the same time.
If you are a job seeker wanting to fast-track your job-finding process, send your questions to me at tate@employmentforimmigration.nz
I am 100% job-focused. If you require specific immigration advice, just see the INZ government website or find a NZ licensed Immigration Agent. If you want a referral of a reliable and proven immigration agent, I can find your match as part of my services.
