Apply for a Job Check

Once you are accredited to employ workers, gather information about the roles you want to fill and apply online for a Job Check.

How to apply for a Job Check

Before you apply

Before you apply for a Job Check, you will need to:

check you have the right level of accreditation for the role and how many people you want to hire
gather information about the role, like the job title, location and the Australia and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) code and skill level
prepare your documents
advertise the role and, depending on the job's ANZSCO skill level, engage with Work and Income.

If you have everything you need to apply, start your application.

To start a new Job Check follow these steps.

Select the 'Employ migrants' tab.
Go to the 'My granted accreditations' section.
Select 'View accreditation' from the Options dropdown list.
Select 'Request a Job Check' to start your application.

Include multiple jobs in a Job Check application

You can include multiple jobs in one Job Check application as long as:

the job details are the same ⁠— for example, they are all under the same ANZSCO code, and have the same occupation, pay, location, and minimum requirements
they are covered by the same advertising and employment agreement.

If the location, job title, or terms of work vary you need a separate Job Check for each role.

Enter the correct location for the job

Enter the location where most of the work will be based or take place in your Job Check application. If you needed to advertise the job, you must have advertised in that location.

If the work will be based in more than 1 location, you must enter each location in your Job Check form. You must have advertised in each location, if advertising is required.

You must also state in your application if some travel is required.

If the job requires some occasional travel or is based in 1 region but with some travel, you only need to list the location the person will be based in.

If multiple jobs are included in your Job Check, the location details must be the same for each job.

Examples

You are applying for a Job Check for a truck driver that is based in Hamilton. The job requires travel across the Waikato on a daily basis but the worker will return to the Hamilton depot each night. You can list the location as Hamilton in your Job Check application.

You are applying for a Job Check for an engineer job that will spend 6 months of the year in New Plymouth and 6 months in Dunedin. You must advertise in both locations and list both locations in your Job Check application.

Paying Job Check fees

You pay a fee for a Job Check when you submit your application.
