Info for Employers
For your enquiries please
Next time you have a skill gap don’t hesitate to contact us.
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. Our clients come from a wide range of professions and are already living in New Zealand.
