Fast track applications

Which visa will your new recruit need? Do you have an employment contract that meets Immigration New Zealand’s requirements? Is the salary on offer in line with the INZ policy?

These are questions that many employers do not consider, as they are unaware of the strict and important guidelines. But, the reality is that New Zealand visas and permits require certain conditions of employment to be met, and not adhering to guidelines can delay or prevent an application from being approved.

As part of our service to you, we will advise you on these complexities and ensure your contracts, salary and visa packages adhere stringently to Immigration New Zealand policy and regulation.

Support for international candidates – return on investment

Do you have a relocation policy in place? Is it competitive and effective? Does it meet the needs of your business and your employees? Does it provide good value for money and protect your investment in the candidate?

Once candidates are found, assessed and employed, most employers believe that this signals the end of the journey. For the new employee it is just the beginning. Excitement can soon turn to stress if they are not properly supported at each stage of the settlement and adjustment process.

It is critical that your international recruitment strategy is underwritten with a comprehensive and effective relocation policy to ensure your investments last.

The costs associated with candidate attraction, selection and retention, especially in regard to off shore recruitment, are extremely high. Many of our clients estimate they spend between $70,000 and $100,000 on each candidate.

Is this investment protected? Do you take the necessary steps to ensure the candidates arrive on time and settle effectively? Providing new international employees with comprehensive relocation and resettlement services is a small additional investment, and yet one many employers fail to budget for.

Successful attraction and retention is the key to reducing the costs and risk associated with international recruitment.

Reducing risk

Do you have key people in your business right now working on temporary work visas? Are these employees and your workforce at risk from changes to New Zealand immigration law? Has the recession resulted in restructuring or remodelling of roles?

The world changed significantly in 2009 and those changes have been felt by many businesses in New Zealand. The country has a workforce that is made up of a significant number of temporary permit holders, and with changes to immigration policy and skills shortages, some of these people may not be eligible for a new permit upon expiry of their current permit. Are you sure all your staff, and therefore your investment, are protected?

Workforce audits are the answer – Working In Visas can provide you with the information you need to future proof your workforce.
