Job Check is a key assessment mechanism established by Immigration New Zealand to ensure that applications for overseas work visas align with the country’s labor market policies. Before hiring a foreign worker, employers must demonstrate that they have made genuine efforts to recruit locally and that no suitable New Zealand citizens or residents are available for the role.

This process aims to:

· Protect local job opportunities

· Ensure fair labor market competition

· Enable legal, compliant hiring of overseas skilled talent

New Zealand-based employers must first obtain Employer Accreditation and pass the Job Check before they can legally employ international workers and sponsor them for work visas. This dual-step process is essential to ensure that the hiring of foreign employees does not undermine local employment conditions and that foreign workers are treated fairly and lawfully.

A compliant Job Check significantly increases the likelihood of work visa approval, enabling businesses to efficiently bring in high-quality international talent.
