💥NZ Update 💥
Removing the job seeker undersupply list from 22 November 2021
▶️ Employers will need to engage with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to determine whether there are suitable or trainable NZ job seekers available to fill vacancies, for roles that pay below the median wage and require labour market testing (LMT).
▶️ A Skills Match Report (SMR) will now be needed for roles that were previously on the undersupply list. The SMR will provide advice about the availability of NZ jobseekers for the specific role.
▶️ INZ must take this advice into consideration as part of the LMT when assessing Essential Skills work visa applications, for roles paying below the median wage - $27/hr.
🔶 Note: For roles paying at or above $27/hr, no need for SMR!
