Job Check

Job Check Process

Employers need to advertise the job vacancy for at least 14 days on a national recruitment website to attract the any New Zealand worker available to work. ​

If no local worker is available, then a job check application is submitted with Immigration New Zealand along with evidence of job listing. 

​

Immigration New Zealand will assess if the genuine attempt has made by the employer to hire a New Zealand worker, and if satisfied that no one is available, will approve the application and issue the Job Token/s. 

​

Employers need to bear the cost of the process and it cannot be transferred to any migrant employee.
