New Life Targets Skills Shortages
Looking world-wide to target regional skills shortages and keep the Waikato on the chart as one of the country's fastest growing productive regions, Hamilton's Business Development Centre has formed a partnership with immigration organisation New Life New Zealand. Based in Hamilton, New Life New Zealand has contacts in the UK, and acts as a one-stop-shop for people wanting to move to New Zealand. The initiative gives local employers a free and targeted approach to finding employees from overseas, with the legwork of selection and suitability already dealt with. Interested workers overseas pay a small fee to have their CVs registered with the company, while here in Hamilton, the New Life New Zealand office liaises with local businesses, identifying their exact requirements in staff. BDC general manager Sandra Perry says interest from local enterprises has been huge.

A free seminar on how to attract skilled overseas workers to your business is being hosted at the Hamilton City council reception lounge. Guest speaker is Paul Goddard, author of "A New Life in New Zealand", who featured in the TV series "Get a New Life". He migrated to New Zealand from the UK in 2003 and this is the first of a series of seminars that New Life New Zealand will be holding all over the country.
Enterprise Nothland Media Release
Northland businesses constrained by a lack of skilled workers now have a new, free tool to overcome the problem.
Enterprise Northland have formed a partnership with New Life New Zealand Ltd, a company which specialises in recruiting skilled and eligible candidates from overseas and assists their move to New Zealand. Whangarei's economic development officer, Jude Thompson said employers could list their vacancies with New Life New Zealand at no cost or would incur no placement fees.
New Life New Zealand provides recruitment, immigration and resettlement services, connecting overseas candidates with employers and handling visa applications once the candidate is offered a position.
"this removes much of the complexity, legwork, cost and risk involved in recruiting staff from overseas," said Mrs Thompson. "A key advantage of New Life New Zealand is the fact that they already have a presence on the ground in the UK and we can have input into some of their seminar locations, according to the skills that the region needs."
Flying start for recruitment scheme
Ian Archibald would not have considered emigrating form the UK were it not for a job offer. Now he's planning on staying until he retires. The aircraft technician is one of six overseas workers recruited in the last few weeks under a partnership between Hamilton's Business Development Centre and immigration firm New Life New Zealand. The former British Aerospace manager was back on the shop floor and had halved his salary in his new role, but was happy with the direction his new career was going and the family had settled well in Cambridge. - Waikato Times
Honest approach to immigration
New Life New Zealand might sound like a church but Paul Goddard says the immigration company has learned not to paint New Zealand as heaven on earth to would-be Kiwi's. Business Development Manager Mr Goddard said while most people moved to New Zealand for lifestyle reasons, the company put honesty first with its clients.
