What kinds of jobs require a valid Right to Work in New Zealand?

It is a legal requirement for all New Zealand employers to ensure any individual they employ has the right to work in New Zealand. There are various Right to Work conditions, depending on whether you're a New Zealand citizen, or what type of working visa you hold. Every employer will have their own preference of what they will accept.For job seekers who do not currently have New Zealand working rights, you may be interested in jobs on SEEK with 'sponsorship available'.

How does it work?

1


Verify

Provide evidence of your credentials, which Certsy then checks with the relevant authority or uses other suitable verification methods.

2


Share

Once your verified result is available, you can share it on SEEK to enhance your job applications.

Stand out

If shared, employers using SEEK to manage applications will be able to see your verified credential for relevant past and future applications as a live feed.

Certsy has a unique integration with SEEK to help you stand out when applying for jobs. And thanks to SEEK, you can verify & share your credentials at no cost to you. Learn more about verifying and sharing your credentials with SEEK.
