Job Check Process for Accredited Employers

01

Advertising Requirements

The job must be advertised on a general, national job listing website, such as Seek or TradeMe. You may also choose to advertise on more specialized platforms if they are more likely to attract qualified New Zealanders. Examples of such platforms include VetJobs, Engineering New Zealand, Farm Source Jobs, or ZEIL.

Ensure that you apply for the Job Check within 90 days of the job advertisement closing. The job listing must have already closed before you submit your application for the Job Check.

For jobs classified at ANZSCO skill levels 4 or 5, you may also be required to engage with Work and Income to confirm there are no suitable New Zealand candidates for the role.

02

Jobs Exempt from Advertising

Certain jobs are exempt from the advertising requirement before applying for a Job Check. These include jobs that:

  • Are listed on the Green List and meet the specified Green List criteria, or
  • Offer a wage of at least NZD $59.32 per hour (twice the February 2023 median wage).

03

Minimum Advertising Duration

The required duration for advertising depends on the skill level of the role:

  • ANZSCO skill level 1, 2, or 3: You must advertise the job for at least 14 days.
  • ANZSCO skill level 4 or 5: The job must be advertised for at least 21 days, and you will also need to show evidence of engaging with Work and Income about the vacancy.

04

Ensuring a Genuine Search for Suitable New Zealand Candidates

When advertising, it is essential to make genuine efforts to attract and recruit suitable New Zealand workers. For a candidate to be considered suitable and available, they must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a New Zealand citizen or hold a resident visa.
  • Be qualified for the role or able to undergo training on the job.
  • Reside close to the job location or be willing to relocate.
  • Have practical transportation options, such as access to a car or public transport.
  • Be available for full-time work during the required hours

05

Reporting in the Job Check Application

As part of your Job Check application, you will need to provide details about the recruitment process, including:

  • The total number of candidates who applied for the job.
  • The number of New Zealand citizens or resident visa holders who applied.
  • The number of New Zealand citizens or resident visa holders deemed suitable for the job.
  • The number of New Zealand citizens or resident visa holders who were hired.

For roles classified as ANZSCO skill level 4 or 5, you must explain why any New Zealand candidates who applied were deemed unsuitable or unavailable for the position.

If the information provided shows that there were suitable and available New Zealand candidates, your Job Check application may be declined.
