New Zealand Employers: Is Your Business Ready to Take Off? The Tony Alexander Survey Says... YES!

New Zealand Employers: Is Your Business Ready to Take Off? The Tony Alexander Survey Says... YES!
 

Independent economist Tony Alexander’s latest business survey has delivered a clear message to New Zealand employers: The intention of businesses to invest in people is soaring!

"For the first time since October 2023 there are more firms (net 7%) reporting that staff are hard to find than say they are readily
available" says Alexander. If you've been watching your competitors and wondering when the right time is to seriously ramp up your team investment, that time is now.

The data points to a major shift: Remuneration spending, recruitment spending, and staff training spending intentions are way up. This isn't just a flicker of confidence; it's a strategic commitment from businesses across the country to secure and grow their workforce in anticipation of a stronger economic upturn.

Why is This an Urgent Opportunity for Your Business?
 

When spending intentions on wages, hiring, and training rise, it signals an impending talent war. To attract the best people, both local and international, you need to stand out as an employer of choice.

And in today's New Zealand immigration landscape, there's one powerful tool that instantly elevates your standing: Employer Accreditation.

The Critical Necessity: NZ Employer Accreditation
 

The government’s Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme makes accreditation mandatory for most businesses looking to hire skilled migrants. But it's more than just a box-ticking exercise; it is the strategic advantage you need in a tightening labour market.

By successfully navigating the accreditation process, you immediately gain:

Timely Access to Global Talent: Accreditation is the critical first step. Expert guidance ensures your application is compliant from the start, avoiding costly delays and processing setbacks. This efficiency is key to quickly securing the skills you need to meet your rising business demands, ensuring you capture the best talent before the competition.

The Best International Candidates:  Skilled migrants know that a job offer from an accredited employer is the non-negotiable key to their visa. Accreditation, when handled efficiently, gives your job offer the stability and assurance top global talent demands.

A Solid Foundation for Growth: The accreditation process ensures your HR and employment practices are robust and compliant, reducing your business risk and setting a strong ethical standard for your entire team.
 
 

The Time to Act is Now
 

With businesses increasing spending on recruitment, you need to ensure your pipeline of talent is diverse, qualified, and ready to go. Don't wait until the best local and international candidates have been snapped up by businesses that prepared early.
