Looking at returning to the land of the long white cloud?

We love helping great kiwis find work back here at home upon their return! Given how things have changed, and how the modern world is more digital, it's easier than ever before for you to apply, interview and secure a role ahead of your return. Recent shortages in skilled candidates means that employers are willing to consider applicants from overseas, and returning kiwis are first in line!

1. Loop in with local, kiwi recruiters.

   New Zealand is full of many wonderful recruitment agencies who will be able to assist you in your search for work. At Find, we specialise in Corporate & IT/Digital roles, and work closely with many top businesses across the nation. By getting in contact to let us know your movements back home to New Zealand, we can assist in lining up interviews, and even getting you signed onto new roles before you arrive in the country!

2. Confirm your moving timeline, & communicate this ahead of time.

   Having a clear vision of when you're moving back to New Zealand will help immensely. Employers can have confidence that you're definitely returning to the country, and so can match up your return schedule to their business needs and requirements. Many businesses in New Zealand are willing to extend their wait time by a few weeks for the right candidate, and so it definitely pays off to have all your ducks in a row before you apply.

3. Confirm government requirements around border operations.

   COVID-19 is now behind us, but some government regulations and requirements may remain in place. It is best to plan ahead and look at what stipulations are required for you to get into New Zealand, and to secure a visa ahead of time.
