Developing a plan that outlines the steps, timelines, resources, and responsibilities required to reach goals helps us ensure a structured and organised approach to goal attainment.

Meet Our Goals
We approach tasks, projects, or actions with a strong focus on achieving specific objectives or outcomes.

When a business such as us is "goals driven," we prioritise and align our actions with these objectives in order to make progress and achieve success for both us and those we assist.
WHAT WE OFFER
NZIES was founded by our director, Clint, who recognised the need for migrant workers to receive visa advice and the need to connect with employers in New Zealand when they need that visa advice. Clint is a Licensed Immigration Adviser with 15 years of experience in the recruitment industry. In 2017, he set up and ran a successful overseas resourcing division for a nationwide agency that still runs today.
At NZIES, we believe that building a successful company and New Zealand economy requires a highly skilled and diverse workforce. We specialise in immigration services designed to help employers like you tap into the global talent pool, enabling your company to thrive in today’s competitive business landscape.
We are not a recruiter and therefore we do not charge placement or visa processing fees to the employer because we are not a recruitment agency. However, in some cases the agency overseas will charge the New Zealand employer for placement. Our team is passionate about helping you achieve your business goals, and we live by the kiwi way of getting things done.

Employer Accreditation & Job Check
We can assist you from the very beginning if required with employer accreditation and job checks. A job check is required to ensure no New Zealanders are available to do the job before a migrant is hired.
If you are happy doing these yourself then that is fine. Job checks can be tweaked with tips to gain a business’s advantage and knowing these tips and tricks can save you time, money, and effort in the long run. We can let you know these without doing the full process for you.
STEP 2

Other Services
Work Visa Variations
If you find someone in New Zealand that holds a valid visa and you want them to work for you we can look to assist you with a variation of conditions.
You can usually variate to change occupation, employer, and location of employment. To do so you still have to advertise, be accredited and have a valid job check completed. We can assist with all these requirements.
Residence Visa Options
To live in New Zealand permanently, your workers need a resident visa. There are a number of pathways to obtaining a resident visa, many of which start with a temporary visa in New Zealand.
Some visas, such as those granted under the Skilled Migrant Category or green list roles grant residence right away. If this is possible we will look at this for your potential candidates from the start. We can also assist to see if this is possible for your current staff to secure long term placement.
Staff Visa Pathways & Long Term Retention
At NZIES, we understand that for long-term success of your business, it’s important to ensure that your staff are on the right visa path. This means that if you employ them on a work visa, you need to know where they can go from there in the long term. Can they bring their families? When do they have to go home? How do changes affect your workforce?
We pride ourselves on our commitment to providing a long-term strategy through our years of experience. We understand the pain of retaining staff, and looking into the long term can help retain your migrant staff.
We can help alleviate the pain of INZ changes on your workforce. We can sit down with you and discuss residence or further visa and family options with your staff. All of our services are carried out to the highest standards, and at very competitive prices.

Job Check Tips
Employers are likely cognizant of the delays encountered in the processing of job checks by Immigration New Zealand (INZ). Below are our top five recommendations aimed at guiding employers in ensuring the readiness of their job checks for swift and effective processing by Immigration Officers.
Initiate the Process Well in Advance:
Commence the process with ample lead time, ideally 3-4 months before the anticipated commencement date of the prospective employee, particularly if the role involves labor market testing and advertising.
Assess Your Workforce:
Stay informed about the dynamic immigration landscape by comprehensively understanding your payroll structure, employees' visa statuses, specific work conditions associated with their visas, and visa expiration dates. This knowledge facilitates proactive planning to address forthcoming job check requirements.
Review Documentation:
Conduct a meticulous review to ensure the precision of all documentation during lodgment. Align employment agreements with prevailing legislation and Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) requirements. Confirm that advertising adheres to INZ's policy requirements to mitigate unnecessary delays.
Anticipate Additional Information Requests:
Prepare for potential requests for supplementary information beyond standard documentation. INZ may inquire about organisational charts, migrant settlement support particulars, and ongoing work contracts. The availability of such information expedites the assessment process.
Diversify Strategies beyond the Escalation Process:
Acknowledge the limitations of relying solely on the escalation process for Job Check applications. INZ contends with a substantial weekly volume of requests and can only accommodate a limited number, prioritizing cases involving compelling personal circumstances, humanitarian factors, or matters of national interest. Thus, initiating the process early remains paramount.
In navigating the complexities of the "Job Check," seeking our legal advice, and meticulous planning and preparation are of an additional value. Our experienced team is well-equipped to assist accredited employers in anticipating and addressing potential complications for both the employer and prospective employees. We are here to guide you through this intricate process.
