People for New Zealand

Working In believes in New Zealand and its future. Our little patch of paradise is one of the best places in the world to work and live and we’re happy to share it. Our country is facing chronic skill shortages across a number of sectors. In order to prosper and grow, New Zealand needs to attract skilled international talent to support businesses of all sizes. That’s where we come in.

A holistic end-to-end service

Our Visas, International Recruitment and Settlement teams attract, filter, educate, encourage and ultimately relocate skilled workers for New Zealand employers, leaving no stone unturned.

We make it easy.

Immigration strategy and visa processing

We are the largest and most experienced team of Licensed Immigration Advisers helping New Zealand employers with immigration strategy, visa processing, accreditation, job checks, and AEWV applications, prioritising high-volume and urgent requirements.
