Automotive Employment

Our immigration services and advisers

Automotive Employment NZ is a unique recruitment operation in New Zealand. We are a professional recruitment company that also employs Licensed Immigration Advisers.

Owned by Jobcorp NZ Ltd, Automotive Employment have forged an exceptional reputation for providing quality immigration advice that is affordable.

We have simplified the process of moving to New Zealand by providing a 360-degree service so recruitment and immigration can be delivered in-house.

No longer does the skilled migrant need to deal with 3 separate contacts. We employ a team of Licensed Immigration Advisers and support personnel and of course a highly skilled team of Recruitment Executives. This overcomes the tedious process of having to communicate back and forth between the Recruitment Executive, the employer, and Licensed Immigration Adviser. The time this will save you is significant. The process of migrating to New Zealand is tough enough, it is common sense to deal with one company from the start.

A large number of both international skilled migrants and New Zealand motor industry employers view Automotive Employment NZ as the go-to company for all immigration issues.

We not only advise job seekers on visas and residency pathways but provide immigration advice for industry associations, corporate and non-corporate employers, and consult on immigration advocacy issues.

Our services are tried, tested, proven, and delivered with decency.

Our immigration services are available to skilled migrants and employers whether or not you use our recruitment services.

Contact us to request a pathway assessment

A pathway assessment will incur a fee of NZD$250+GST. Should you use our services for your work visa, this amount will be deducted from the work visa fees.​
