WHAT SERVICES DO WE OFFER?
Recruitment
New Zealand has faced significant recruitment challenges over the past few years resulting in increased demands on labour in multiple industry sectors. We support companies to overcome these challenges and find the right people to fill the workforce gaps. We start with a comprehensive assessment of each employer's needs to find the right candidate for the role. We then shortlist potential candidates and help with the selection process.
Immigration
Immigration policy is constantly changing and can be confusing. Our team takes pride in explaining this in simple terms and getting the job done, so our clients can focus on their business. Many of our team have experienced the immigration and re-settling process first-hand, whether by employing overseas workers within their business' or immigrating to New Zealand themselves. Our insight and experience enable us to understand our client's needs, support great relationships between employers and employees, and deliver the best service to both our clients.
Settling In
One of our points of difference is our focus on the settling-in stage of the recruitment process. We provide ongoing support and pastoral care to help our skilled workers, their families and their employers to acclimatise to their new situation, overcome cultural differences, and achieve the best outcomes for work and life in New Zealand.

Testimonial
"Before dealing with The Regions, we were doing all the visa applications ourselves. There's a lot involved. We just didn't know which questions to answer. Whereas you give it to The Regions and they do the job for you, which is fantastic. If I ring Ben he answers my calls, and that to me is just incredible as he's the boss, and our Key Account Manager Michelle is just awesome, They just get everything done we need"
Dave Fraser - Fraser Farms
Testimonial
"What's really important as a farm manager is to have a right fit of staff, and when you have a large team, it's important that we can all work together and support each other. Since The Regions has come on board, we now have a stable reliable team that are here to get the job done. The advantage for us has been that we're no longer having high staff turnover, and we can actually go away sometimes now and relax and get a bit more time to spend with family. We found the right people and the business is running well, thanks to The Regions."

Since working with The Regions I have found them to be Professional, Patient, and Reliable, any issues we had with our application were dealt with and we were kept updated every step of the way. We would highly recommend The Regions to anyone looking at recruiting overseas staff".
