Why employers turn to migrant workers
When the skills aren’t here, it doesn’t just slow you down: it piles pressure on your team, creates compliance risks, and makes it harder to grow with confidence.
Here’s what we hear from NZ employers every day:
- “We can’t find the skills we need locally and we have been advertising for over 6 months now”
- “I don’t know how to hire migrants in NZ without risking compliance issues.”
- “We’d like to recruit Filipino workers, but we’re not sure where to start.”
- “We have had an applicant apply who is overseas, but don’t know how to exit them from the Philippines”
If that sounds like your business, you’re not on your own. These are the problems we solve, with every step managed properly so you don’t have to carry the risk.

What NZ employers say about hiring migrant workers
Employers who’ve partnered with us to bring in skilled migrant workers talk about the difference it made:
“Before we engaged People Inc and RecruitNZ, we could not find any New Zealanders to fill the role: we advertised solidly for six months. The process was seamless from the start, and we finally got the people we needed.”
— Chris Lodge: Total Marine Services
“RecruitNZ and People Inc take real care about the placement of each individual. It’s meant we’ve gained employees who fitted seamlessly into our team and are aligned to our purpose and values.”
