Despite the newly elected government being viewed as “anti-immigration”, New Zealand’s booming economy means that there are many opportunities for people with the right skills.
However, landing that job can be a little tricky and nerve-wracking when you are relocating from the other side of the world.
At PSS International we frequently get requests from customers for help with job searching. Sometimes it could be that one partner already has a job offer, other times they have committed to moving to New Zealand but are doing so in anticipation of getting a job on arrival.
We have therefore teamed up with RobLawMax one of New Zealand’s leading recruitment companies who has recently set up an office in London so they can tempt more ‘poms’ to join their 200,000 compatriots down under and fill some of the many vacancies.
