THE ESSENTIALSFind the big five (health, IT, engineering, construction and mining skills*). at the Opportunities Overseas Expo in Johannesburg this February.

WhatThis February’s Opportunities Overseas Expo in Johannesburg is the annual event for employers wanting to meet high volumes of skilled professionals motivated and ready to move to New Zealand. This is your chance to talk to skilled candidates face-to-face; fill skill gaps; recruit international employees; and promote your company via seminars.

Enjoy an expo experience plus get your message in-front of hundreds of candidates in the dedicated migration seminars.

WhereThe expo will be held at the well known Indaba Hotel and Conference venue, located beneath the Magaliesburg mountains, in north Johannesburg. With an award-winning, state of the art function rooms capable of holding large volumes of people, it’s a very suitable searching ground for employers.

WhySouth Africa is rich with talent, especially in those sought-after areas of health, IT, engineering, construction and mining, as well as hundreds of other industries. With a population of highly educated and skilled professionals who are renowned for being globally-mobile, it’s the perfect place to search for the skills you can’t find locally. The current political climate in South Africa has many people feeling a strong desire to migrate.

At the 2012 expo (visitor stats to follow), over 3,500 visitors walked through the doors.

* The Working In expos attract hundreds of skills from multiple industries outside the top five. Working In attracts the skills directly related to visiting employers.

We are busy working through approximately 250 applications. Our trip was a huge success for the company, we had a great response from www.workingin-newzealand.com and the Opportunities New Zealand expos. We are seriously looking at 70 -80 applicants including: Project Managers, Transmission Managers, Distribution Line Mechanics, Power System Mechanics, Electricians, Gas Technicians, Electrical Engineers, Linesmen and people who are specialised in fibre-optics. We have already made six successful job offers with another 10 in various stages. We are convinced that we will see a great return on investment and our pipeline is certainly looking good for upcoming projects.

Melanie Lowe, Electrix

We’ve spoken to at least 100 per day, so close to 400 overall. 89% of those people are committed to moving to New Zealand and some already had tickets. The quality of people that came to the stand was very good – well above expectations. The Opportunities New Zealand Expo is well worth it.

Dave Gilbert, Accident and Healthcare

When I look at the quality and calibre of the expo candidates, it was an absolute no-brainer. Overseas staff are a great investment in a tight labour market, because as well as a commitment to the job they bring different technical skills and a fresh approach - healthy for any business.
