Navigating New Zealand’s immigration system can be daunting for employers looking to hire talent from overseas. If that’s you, Pier Law is here to help. A general practice local law firm that has offices located in Northwood, New Brighton and Kaiapoi, Pier Law specialises in guiding companies of any size through immigration compliance. The firm’s expertise ensures businesses can successfully recruit from the global labour market.
To hire a migrant on a visa, employers must complete two key steps: first, gaining accreditation with Immigration New Zealand (INZ), and second, proving a genuine skills shortage through a job check application. Pier Law supports businesses through both processes, ensuring a smooth and compliant experience.
“Our team has a strong track record, particularly in complex accreditation cases involving past non-compliance or newly established businesses that don’t yet meet all requirements,” says senior associate immigration lawyer Muhammad Bin Kamarudin.
“We also guide employers through the often tricky job check process, including advertising to INZ standards and drafting compliant employment agreements.”
With INZ ramping up enforcement and issuing infringement notices to non-compliant employers, the firm also assists businesses under investigation, offering advice and audits to maintain accredited status.
If your business is looking to hire from abroad or needs support navigating immigration compliance, start with a no-obligation phone consultation. Call 03 366 5540 or see the website.
