Rachel Simpson: Business NZ Immigration Specialist talks government getting tougher of businesses wanting to recruit migrants

Belief that both employers and the Government need to up their game to ensure Kiwis are being hired before migrants.  The Immigration Minster's getting tougher on employers hiring more migrants than unemployed New Zealanders. Erica Stanford says employers will be stripped of the chance to recruit migrants if they're not looking closer to home. Business NZ Immigration Specialist Rachel Simpson told Ryan Bridge the Ministry need to help businesses prioritise Kiwis.  She says employers will always look locally but immigration is about the skills those people bring to the country.  LISTEN ABOVE The podcasts in the SME Stream contain general information only, not financial or professional advice.
