Andries and Nilene Lotter Testimonial

Tate

“It’s actually you that helped us a lot. We weren’t able to do any of this without you, without your guidance and you giving us the tools… Yeah, our approach was totally… how can I say… wrong. And we thought, actually, everything that we were doing was really right, but till you came on the picture, and you guide us through this whole process, and then eventually we find out that the things that we are doing were wrong. And then eventually, you know, all these emails that we communicated together (all your support…) and yeah… it helped us! It helped us extremely a lot.  You combined us with the CV that stood out from everybody else and everything – all the years combined in two pages… So, yeah… we couldn’t have done this without you!”

Millionaire Migration Map

Tate

A few interesting facts about millionaire migrants:

1) Little New Zealand is getting half as many millionaire migrants as the United States while having only 1.5% of the population.

2) The only country receiving more millionaires than Australia is the UAE but since the UAE almost never allows citizenship, Australia will end up getting some of those as well.

3) NZ + Australia receives 4,300 millionaire migrants compared to 2,500 that US + Canada, which is like saying NZ + Australia get 170% more millionaires than the US + Canada with only 8% of the population.

Insights from the Millionaire Migration Map – If millionaires are generally smart and capable people who have the ability to live almost anywhere, then why so many want to live in New Zealand and Australia?

And can we enjoy some of the same benefits of peace, nature, opportunity, weather, family, culture, future, etc… as they do?

New Zealand is still New Zealand

Tate

After landing in New Zealand, foreign migrants typically comment about the friendliness of Kiwis, the cleanliness of the city, the beauty of the nature and the safe, relaxed nature of society. New Zealand is also one of the few genuinely “kid friendly” countries in the world. Job seekers have said these to me this week after landing in New Zealand and the same things were said also last month and last year and during lockdowns and before lockdowns for many years prior. New Zealand hasn’t changed.

During lockdowns, the reputation of New Zealand has been tarnished and dragged through the mud. In many cases, this is deserved. However, policies from our government don’t reflect the New Zealand society. I can offer proof of this statement based on what incoming migrants have been telling me.

I can respect the opinions of people who have been financially and professionally harmed by the bad polices of our government during lockdowns. But who is really to blame. It was a tiny few people in certain government departments who created and enforced bad policy.

New Zealand is still the best country for all those reasons that people have always loved about New Zealand. Those things have remained remarkably constant for many decades.

In my opinion and based on the informal opinion polls that I receive from new migrants; New Zealand is still the best country for all those reasons that people have always loved about New Zealand. Change is always happening, but those things have remained remarkably constant for many decades.

Inspiring Testimonial from a Migrant Who Tried Different Job-finding Systems in New Zealand

Practical Advice

Is it Getting Easier for Foreigners to Get Hired in New Zealand Today?

Tate

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:

  • It is easy
  • not expensive
  • takes 10-days (Work Visa another 20-days)
  • More control over outcome

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:

  • Cost of candidate placed by recruiter typically reaches $10,000-15,000 NZD
  • Cost pf candidate placed through the AEWV system approximately $1,500 NZD

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.
