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.

“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.”

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.
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.
New Zealand has just announced an opening of our borders in July. This is huge news for those wanting to settle.
For those who may not know, prior to 2020, New Zealand was often considered the most attractive place to live in the world, according to a wide range of people from billionaire bolt-hole buyers to free-style hippies, and they often shared the same sun-drenched beaches.
During the past 2+ years, New Zealand has had:
* the highest candidate demand in job market history
* the lowest unemployment in history
* strong business growth limited by the lack of talent
When borders open in July, will New Zealand have have:
* the biggest hiring boom in job market history?
* continued low unemployment?
* stronger growth in business with some of the best talent in the world?
The big flow of foreign talent coming in starts with reaching median wage thresholds (July 4) and now we are getting visitor’s visas (July 31).
We are weeks away from NZ job market history.
“New Zealand will fully reopen its international border from 11.59pm on July 31… two months earlier than the government’s previous time frame.”

Suhaila’s first job interview turned into her dream job offer, beating all your expectations. In addition, she was given a border exemption during the Covid lockdown in New Zealand, which was quite tight, and she was given a work visa with right to gravel to and work in New Zealand. This all happened within two weeks. Amazing so far, right?
Follow Suhaila’s journey and expect the unexpected as this story unfolds.
This is Part 2, picking up things from Doha, Qatar with a few exciting stories that Suhaila’s family experienced along the way so far…
The flight to New Zealand was cancelled and borders were re-closed again in New Zealand due to the discovery of Omicron. The timing couldn’t be worse. Suhaila’s family of 5 already sold the house, packed all belongings and was at the airport. So now what?
In Part 3, I am honured to interview Suhaila in the comfort of her new home in Auckland. Suhaila’s new life is explained regarding work, studies, social life, Auckland city culture and family life. Then each of her children give us a fresh update from their points of view. Just listen for yourself, this turning into a wholesome reality show.
Prologue to Suhaila’s Success Story – Difficulties come into our lives and then it is our time to respond. Suhaila is a Clinical Psychologist with experience helping some of the most traumatised people in society, so it is perhaps fitting that we consider how Suhaila responds to some of the challenges that Immigration can bring to a family. As the viewer experiences Suhaila’s story in 3 parts, there are ups and downs and unexpected twists. Ultimately, this is a feel-good experience that might be be exactly what someone needs to hear when considering how to make the journey of a lifetime into a new country, new job, new everything.
I picked out 7 slides from a total of 33 slides presented by Immigration New Zealand to help foreign migrants see opportunities from New Zealand employers. From July, NZ employers will need to be accredited if they want to hire foreigners.
This is a condensed version of newly available compliance rules regarding the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) from the point of view of employers in New Zealand and what they need to do, and how that might benefit you as a foreign migrant.
