Offshore recruitment still possible
Employers need skilled workers but where are they? Unemployment remains at a record low. Australian employers are starting to poach local talent.
Employers need skilled workers but where are they?
Unemployment remains at a record low. Australian employers are starting to poach local talent. The border is closed.
Don’t despair. If you have a genuine need for a particular set of skills, then a border exemption may be an option. Ask yourself these three questions:
- Does the role require someone with unique experience and technical or specialist skills not readily available in New Zealand?
- Is the role time critical and for work that brings significant benefit to the national or regional economy?
- Is the job paying more than $112,320 per annum?
If the answer is YES to one of these questions, it is worth talking to the team at Malcolm Pacific Immigration about trying to secure a border exemption to bring in overseas talent. Over 17,000 border exemptions have already been granted since the border closed in March 2020.
