Job Search and Placement Services
A job offer is often the most pivotal part of a successful visa application. It also relieves a great deal of stress from your move to New Zealand as it provides you with cash flow and stability.
Aligning all the parts to a smooth move to New Zealand is often the most difficult part of immigration. At Aotearoa Abroad, we believe that you are best served by a team of specialists for all aspects of your visa application.
Depending on what stage you are at in your migration process, we offer affordable services to help you make the important decisions.
Career Appraisal
For those just beginning to look at career opportunities in NZ, we offer an appraisal service that will provide you with information on the potential for employment in your chosen field(s) along with an applicable salary range.
Customized Job Search and Placement
Our skilled recruitment team will work closely with our immigration advisors to find you a suitable job offer to complete your application.
We remove every obstacle from your employment and visa pathway. We do not enter your resume into a system and wait for a match. We actively seek employment for you. Unlike most other placement services, we do not charge a commission to employers. This makes our quality applicants more attractive when compared to those of other placement agencies that charge potential employers a substantial commission for introduction to a potential employee. As your immigration advisors, we are also in a unique position to provide your potential employer with advice regarding your ETA into NZ with your visa and we can assist them with advice on letters and documents to facilitate your visa and employment in the most expedited manner.
We offer a cost effective, intensive job search and placement service to our visa clients. The service includes the following:
• allocation to your personal job seek consultant
• a resume review to ensure your resume or CV is written to suit the NZ job market
• preparation of accompanying letter(s) for all resume submissions
• 4 month aggressive nationwide job search of available positions and contact with employers
• general circulation of resume to major, industry specific employers
• On-going liaison with interested employers
• Salary/package advice and negotiation assistance
• Monthly report to applicant
Upon successful placement in a position, we charge a low 7.5% success fee.
Unique profile option
In today’s job market there is competition for every position. We have to do all we can to ensure your job application provides the employer with as much information as possible that proves that you are the right person for his position. We know that the employer has many resumes in front of him. Our first goal is to make your application rise to the top of the pile. What can we then do that separates you from the others?
Some people have average skills but do very well in interviews and this secures them the position for which they have applied. Other people have wonderful skills but due to nerves, language or cultural differences encounter challenges in the presentation of their true talent through the interview process. We look for ways to correct that.
One thing we do is speak to the potential employer and advocate on your behalf. However, in recent times we have begun using a technology that more accurately assesses a job applicant for the employer.
In more recent times we have turned to technology in helping candidates find great employment and the results have been impressive. We now offer profile technology to all job seekers. Profile technology involves the use of specialized, cutting-edge technology that supports your resume or CV by providing an employer with the most valuable of information about your suitability for his position and his company. It is quantifiable information about your personality, abilities and interests among other things, all of which factor in to your successful fit into a specific role, team and company.
For the employer, a great employee is more than education and experience. A great employee is a candidate that has the required characteristics for a position. It is about the right person for the right job. Achieving this means a long term and mutually beneficial relationship for both the employer and the employee.
This technology is user friendly and is through a company that is recognized as a world leader in employment profiles. It is available in several different languages also.
We believe that this is powerful tool and an important investment for job seekers and for this reason we highly recommend it to compliment the work done by your personal job seek consultant.
