A steadily increasing surge in development across the country as well as zoning and unitary plan changes has led to a subsequent increase in consent complexity and demand.
Whilst larger New Zealand cities struggle to meet demand, the regions are faced with even more of a challenge to find the numbers of skilled workers they need.
We recently carried out a full end to end campaign for our regional council client, delivering much needed, Senior Consent Planners from overseas.
Via a two-month digital campaign, we attracted the exact calibre of candidates required to help move the region into the future. But with our client’s lack of funding for travel to interview overseas, we instead short-listed CVs together, leading to Skype interviews and successful placement.
Completing the picture, we also had the pleasure of looking after their new candidates’ visa applications and processing then welcoming them into their new home in regional New Zealand.
