Are you an employer with a skills gap? We have skilled migrants already living here, looking to enter the NZ job market from a wide range of professions. For every outcome we have, an employer has taken on a skilled migrant, which is fantastic as it means a migrant is well on the way to successful settlement. Having a migrant in your workplace is also an opportunity to increase your cultural diversity and develop international connections.
