Many changes occurred in the New Zealand employment and immigration spaces in 2022. The country's unemployment rate became the lowest since 1986 - 3.3% - and the Government announced an immigration rebalancing system, which affected thousands of New Zealand families and businesses.
After two years of borders closure due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, our country finally opened its doors to travelers - little by little, starting with vaccinated visitors from Australia in April, to fully welcoming the world back in August with no restrictions. Until that point, migrant workers wanting to work and live in New Zealand had very few opportunities to come to the country, as these were mostly based on border exceptions. With that, many industries started to suffer labour shortages, which later on would be mitigated by the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).
During the year, our recruitment, immigration and pastoral care teams at Trinity have been helping businesses and candidates navigate through all of these, plus many other changes in the industry. In 2023, we will keep doing our best to assist our clients with all the updates and changes yet to come. The Government already announced a few of them to take place on the first semester of the year and we are sure many others will happen affecting employment and immigration markets. We pride ourselves on being able to help minimize any challenges that come with these changes for so many businesses around the country.
But for now, our team at Trinity wishes you and your family a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! We are very thankful to all clients and candidates with whom we worked during the year, for all the support and trust we have received. We are looking forward to a new year with plenty of:
- Matching businesses with great candidates through our recruitment services;
- helping migrants onshore and offshore with immigration advice and visa applications;
- supporting businesses that are wanting to hire offshore workers with our offshore recruitment packages;
- delivering our HR subscription service to more businesses in need.
If you need to get in touch with us, we will be available throughout all summer holidays, except on statutory holidays, with limited availability between 23/12 and 08/01. Send us an email or give us a call and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
We are looking forward to working with you in 2023!
