We help NZ employers find skilled migrants with the right skills to complete projects on time, with our overseas recruitment service.
RecruitNZ is a well-established New Zealand owned and managed business specialising in recruitment. Overseas recruitment has become a large part of the work we do: smart employers have increasingly had to think outside the box to maintain and accelerate business growth whilst facing skills shortages in New Zealand. Migrant recruitment is a great solution – and it may be more cost-effective than you may think.
Our overseas recruitment agency works closely with our People Inc partners, ConsultingHQ and VisaAide, to provide a seamless overseas recruitment service. We can take care of everything from employer accreditation, to recruitment and HR documentation, to visa and immigration services via the Accredited Employer Work Visa. Best of all, you’ll have one contact point throughout, to make the overseas recruitment process easy and straightforward for you.

FAQs – Migrant Recruitment
Here are the most frequently asked questions our international recruitment agency receives about the recruitment process when it comes to recruiting overseas workers.
We have worked with Recruit NZ for several years, and utilised both their National and Migration recruitment services, as well as having used their sister companies Consulting HQ and VisaAide services. We have developed a strong working relationship, where I feel that the team understand our business and genuinely care about the impact each new hire will have on our business. After assessing the suitability of several candidates from overseas, we have engaged Recruit NZ’s services to hire from the Philippines for skill shortages that are hard to fill in our region. We are excited to be growing our company with local and international talent, with Recruit NZ as our partner."
