Recruit Staff
Greenstone Recruitment Services
Greenstone Recruitment, our specialist recruitment division has been assisting employers with recruiting high-quality, reliable employees since 2006. We will work with the employer to understand the unique aspects of your business and select an employee that suits the characteristics and experience that you are looking for.
Our recruiters have a wealth of experience helping both New Zealand and overseas job seekers. We source candidates from countries such as the Philippines, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and India.
Settlement support activities
Employers have additional responsibilities when recruiting for and employing migrant staff.
Under the Accredited Employer policies, employers are required to complete settlement support activities and to ensure that their migrant workers have all the information required to work and live in New Zealand. Employers must provide information to their new migrants about the local community and services, as well as work related matters, including:
- accommodation
- transportation options
- the cost of living
- how to access healthcare services
- Citizens Advice Bureau services
- relevant community groups
- how to obtain an IRD number from Inland Revenue
Employers must also provide sufficient time during paid work hours for AEWV holders to complete all of the Employment New Zealand’s online employee modules.
Greenstone Immigration will work with employers to ensure that they are providing the correct information and keeping appropriate records of their activities that will be required at Accredited Employer renewal stage.
POEA requirements
Even before some migrants are able to enter New Zealand, they will need to have completed exit clearance processes in their home countries. For instance, Filipino workers who are still in the Philippines and their employers will have to complete the requirements of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (“POEA”), now called the Department of Migrant Workers (“DMW”).
Greenstone Recruitment can assist employers in completing these requirements, through our partner agencies in the Philippines.
