Job Search Assistance

Your Key to Successful Emigration

ODG Recruitment was established to provide you with a link to the local job market and has in-country Employment Experts to provide you with assistance in Christchurch, New Zealand, Sydney, Australia, and Vancouver, Canada. 

All skills clients requiring a joboffer receive a paid Employment Appraisal Report completed by our in-country employment experts at the start of the process to help them plan for their jobsearch.

Migration Bureau clients can benefit from a free-of-charge Job Seeker Programme designed to kick-start your job-hunting at any time for Australia,.New Zealand or Canada. Not available for UK or USA bound clients.

Having the Migration Bureau on your side can make all the difference.

Our involvement shows prospective employers that you are serious about emigrating and actively involved in the visa application process. They will also be reassured that there will be less risk of delay or refusal of your visa because it is being professionally processed by the Migration Bureau.

Finding a job in your destination can be a very important part of emigrating, or indeed may be vital under some Skilled Visa categories.

As a client of the Migration Bureau, you will benefit from access to an experienced team of in-country labour market experts and the combined resources of the employment consultancy ODG Recruitment.

We will;

• Provide a list of contact details recruitment agents and jobs registers for you to contact.
• Guide you on how to present and prepare yourself for an interview.
• Guide you on how to prepare a CV in the style of your destination country.
• Provide a personal or telephone consultation upon arrival and advice on how to set up interviews.
• Provide advice about the local job market in your chosen profession

You will need to;

• Advise us of the specific region/city in which you have chosen to settle.
• Liaise directly with employers and recruitment agents that we may recommend in order to set up interviews.
• Be actively involved in the job search process, sending letters of applications to recruitment agents that we may recommend.
• Prepare an up-to-date and comprehensive CV in the style used in your destination country.
• Consider a visit to attend interviews as some employers do not offer jobs on a “sight unseen” basis (provided you qualify for a visitors visa).
• Apply for vacancies no longer than 3 months ahead of a possible start date.
• Keep an open mind and be flexible.  Don’t expect a job at the same level or salary as in your home country. You may need to take a step back in order to gain local knowledge and experience

(exclusively for visa processing clients of the Migration Bureau)

HOW DOES IT WORK? - one per application receives the following services to help you to obtain a relevant, qualifying job offer.

FOUR STEPS TO SUCCESS

There are 4 steps to the Programme. In total you are entitled to 2 hours of free consultation time, incorporating the following;-

0. Advice on your CV/resume to ensure that it is appropriate for local employers.
0. An update on the local employment market.

 Step 3 - IMMEDIATE JOB VACANCIES & EMPLOYMENT LEADS
(available 6 weeks prior to your visit or to your arrival)

Once your visas have been approved or you are visiting your destination country to attend job interviews, we will arrange a further telephone consultation between you and our in-country EMPLOYMENT EXPERT.  Following this consultation, we will provide you with a list of job vacancies and/or employer & recruitment agency contacts relevant to your profession and the region in which you wish to settle. We will also provide a list of the top internet job boards for you to search for any further relevant vacancies. For this stage, we recommend that you contact us 6 weeks prior to your intended move/visit date.

Step 4 (upon arrival) - PERSONAL OR TELEPHONE ORIENTATION CONSULTATION

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• The FREE JOBSEEKER PROGRAMME is designed to get you started with your job search but it is not a total solution. No guarantees of success are given whatsoever as it must be you who secures a job offer. All costs associated with your job search or trips for interviews are your own responsibility.
• Your visit to the country and arrival orientation consultation is subject to you qualifying for visitors or entry visas. It is your responsibility to check your eligibility with your officially-recognised migration agent in advance otherwise these can be conducted remotely over the telephone.
•  We will endeavour to provide current job vacancies and relevant contact details of employers and recruitment agencies BUT WE DO NOT PRE-ARRANGE JOB INTERVIEWS. We require you, the applicant, to contact employers and recruitment agents and to arrange/attend job interviews. In addition to this service, we encourage all clients to also use other job vacancy websites and to apply directly to employers themselves. We simply want you to find a job. 
  
• As this is a free service, it is strictly limited to a total of 2 hours professional consulting time for current visa processing clients only. It is open to ONE PERSON per permanent residence visa application for use once only.  If used correctly, this service can be highly effective at initiating your job search - provided that you are actively involved.
• This programme is open to one person per application for permanent residence through our firm. It is not available to persons who are solely applying for a temporary work visa only.
