Frequently Asked Employer Questions

Employers in New Zealand have two primary options: (1) Hire Directly via our Employer Portal with a $0 platform onboarding fee to access pre-screened candidates and handle sponsorship in-house; or (2) Hire Through Us for coordinated application support where Nexus Point handles candidate sourcing, credential attestation, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) filings, and Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) coordination. Hiring and immigration outcomes rest with the employer and the relevant authority and cannot be guaranteed.

Work permit processing in New Zealand through the Immigration New Zealand (INZ) typically takes 4 - 8 weeks, depending on whether the employer utilizes fast-track statutory shortage quotas or standard labor market testing.

Statutory wage standards in New Zealand typically range from NZ$3,400 - NZ$6,800 per month depending on seniority, collective bargaining agreements, and whether the position qualifies for standard work authorization or the EU Blue Card.

When hiring 'Through Us', Nexus Point operates under a written service agreement. In the event of a refusal, our advisory team can discuss re-application or alternative routes and, where agreed with the employer, prioritize a replacement candidate under the employer Service Level Agreement (SLA). No outcome can be guaranteed.
