Promoting your job vacancies overseas
There are a number of different ways you can promote and recruit your roles internationally.
There are a few things to consider when planning where and how you will advertise your vacancy, including:
- Where you will advertise your position - your website, job websites (e.g. Trade Me, Seek, or LinkedIn), trade publications, migration or recruitment expos
- When you will advertise and interview - you may not get a good response during overseas holiday periods.
- Are there events within your industry that you can attend or overseas migration shows?
SkillFinder
SkillFinder is a free online tool that employers can use to connect with skilled workers overseas who have already expressed an interest in living and working in New Zealand.
Travelling overseas to recruit
Some employers prefer to travel overseas to meet and recruit prospective candidates – they believe that they can more readily assess a person’s ‘fit’ with their organisation if they meet them face-to-face.
