When you invest in recruiting migrant workers, you want to be confident your new hire has the right skills. That’s where pre-employment testing comes into play – specifically, trade tests. Early in the recruitment process, we’ll talk you through available assessments and can request bespoke testing if needed — because one size does not fit all.
We work with our partner agency in the Philippines to organise practical pre-employment testing. Some employers travel to the Philippines to be involved in trade testing, but it’s not necessary. We can request trade test reports from the assessor and/or video interviews and recordings.
We strongly recommend paying an assessment fee for an official skills assessment so you can be confident the trade test is conducted professionally by a recognised assessor.
Cutting corners during recruitment processes in the Philippines can expose you to unethical practices and delays.
RecruitNZ is experienced in organising pre-employment testing for a variety of trades, roles and occupations. Working with us will save you not only time, but also money.
Note that English language testing is also conducted as a standard part of the interviewing process. All of the workers we shortlist to present to our clients have a strong level of conversational English.
