New Kiwis – New Results
20 November - Kevin Maurice CEO of Atrax Group NZ Ltd in Auckland is particularly pleased to be part of the Chamber network and benefitting from the New Kiwis free recruitment website.
Responding to the publicity he received about the New Kiwis service as part of his membership of the Auckland Regional Chamber of Commerce he registered as an employer and searched for and found a potential candidate living here in Auckland with the right skill set. A couple of phone calls later Kevin arranged to interview Jenny Liu who was looking for a role as an Accounts Assistant. Jenny has now been employed by Atrax group in the position of Accounts Assistant and she is delighted to be part of the Atrax team which exports weighing technology equipment to over 80 countries worldwide.
Sheaam Achmat, New Kiwis Employment Liaison is thrilled with the collaboration and the already pleasing results “Our forte is linking skilled people to the needs of NZ employers and encouraging employers to embrace cultural diversity when looking to address their skills shortages. Understanding the recruitment needs of our employers is key to maximising the potential of this initiative.”
Evaluating employment during the recession
22 April - There’s no doubt that the way businesses recruit staff is changing rapidly in today’s environment. At a time when it is crucial for businesses to make the best use of their resources, convenience has become the key to successful recruitment.
According to Penny Smith, manager of the Chamber of Commerce’s Employment Division, this is the reason for the increasing popularity of the Chamber’s recruitment and employment services, which are offered at no cost.
“We find more and more businesses are eager to take advantage of our employment services,” she says. “This is because they enjoy the convenience of being able to instantly construct their own shortlist from a variety of quality candidates. I believe its also valuable that we offer such a variety of quality candidates many of whom are flexible in their work requirements.”
“Our New Kiwis website (www.newkiwis.co.nz) links employers to highly qualified, migrant job seekers ready to start immediately, at no cost,” Penny explains. “Recently, four to five candidates a week are offered employment through this site. We are delighted with these results and the feedback.”
Glenn Styles, Managing Director of Doorman Besam and new advocate for the site says: “I have recently recruited a candidate from the New Kiwis website into a senior role within my company. I found this free service very helpful; so much so that I will definitely utilise it for my future staffing needs.”
Due to the sheer number of candidates searching for employment, Penny believes finding good staff is even more difficult when economic times are turbulent.
“By using the Chamber’s services employers can access quality candidates, available now saving time and money.”

New Kiwis Employer Survey 2009
In April 2009 we asked employers to share their opinions on recruitment, retention, benefits and barriers to having skilled migrants in the workplace.
We’d like to thank participants for their valuable feedback and let you know we will be running a similar survey in the next couple of months which we would encourage you to complete. The survey provides valuable information for us to feed back into Government policy, and will also assist us in reviewing and developing our existing employment programmes.

Testimonials
Auckland Protected Employment Trust
When Gary Olney, CEO of the Auckland Protected Employment Trust (APET), needed a
new staff member he suggested to his HR department to use the Chamber of
Commerce New Kiwis recruitment service.
Gary says, “After looking at the New Kiwis website, we got in touch with the
Chamber who provided us with a few possible candidates, one of whom was Shelie
Sun, whom we appointed to our company last May. The staff were very efficient
and helpful and a pleasure to deal with.”
Initially Shelie was appointed to their business as a Receptionist, but it soon
became apparent she was skilled in bookkeeping and has now progressed to the
position of Book keeper/Administration Assistant.
Gary says, “Quite simply Shelie has added value to our organization. She speaks
Mandarin and has been very useful if a translator is needed. She is keen to use
her knowledge to help others, using her accounting skills to implement a new job
costing system for the business.
“I recommend the New Kiwis service to employers who are looking for a quality
service. And it has the added benefit of being free. Shelie found their free 3
Day workshop Kiwi Career Success, very valuable for learning how to write a CV
tailored to her skills and the NZ job market and gaining interview skills, which
gave her confidence for her successful interview with our company.
“Shelie is hardworking and always prepared to go the extra mile. She has added
another dimension to our workplace and I will definitely use the Chamber of
Commerce New Kiwis Recruitment Service again.”
