In recent months, Canstaff have increased our global reach with a new London office and throughout the start of the year have rolled out a new way of promoting all potential opportunities for candidates across all our offices and territories with the Canstaff Job Passport. The Job Passport is a way of servicing the needs of all of our employer partners with the specialist skills and trade qualifications of our candidates.
The Job Passport helps to clarify and identify opportunities for people considering NZ as a live and work destination. So far this has been a mixture of Kiwis looking to come home and wanting to ensure the relocation comes with employment when they hit the ground, and also UK residents with skills and qualifications that will fit in the NZ environment.
Canstaff have been able to offer this this promotion confident that the candidates will take up an offer and can be placed due to a strong construction scene both in Auckland and with Christchurch still rebuilding.
Meet some new Canstaff faces!
