Pairing skilled migrant talent with New Zealand jobs

We’re here to help businesses fill New Zealand’s labour market gaps with our pool of talented migrant workers. Our strength is in our specialist knowledge of New Zealand Immigration laws, industry needs, comprehensive skills assessments and our care and support settling our people into their new communities.

From the Ground Up

New Zealand Careers (NZC) was established during the Christchurch rebuild, helping to bring workers to the reconstruction effort.

We recruited predominantly from the Philippines, harnessing the excellent reputation of Filipino carpenters for crucial construction projects. Demand for our high-quality workers saw NZC grow nationwide, resulting in branches in Otago, Southland, and Auckland, supported by our Christchurch head office. NZC workers have been integral to the success of key projects throughout New Zealand, from providing nationwide frame and truss manufacturing services, working on large hotel and infrastructure projects in Otago, and taking part in Government-funded projects in Wellington.



“We’ve had a fantastic experience working with New Zealand Careers. Their team is responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in understanding our needs and more importantly looking after their staff! The process is always very easy; the support they provide makes a great impact. It’s a pleasure working with a company that brings both expertise and a positive attitude to the table.”
