For Filipino Applicants
“walang lokohan para maganda ang samahan”
Having an established office in Makati, Philippines assures you of Philippine-New Zealand (PHIL-NZ) Human Resources Limited’s dedicated presence in the Philippines, and our company’s Filipino motto of “walang lokohan para maganda ang samahan” completely hits the nail in the head in describing how we conduct our business with you. Only with mutual trust and integrity can we develop a strong relationship and only in having a strong relationship can we help you in establishing an excellent relocation, work and resettlement conditions in New Zealand. Mrs. Cecille Charnley particularly understands your anxieties and “what if’s” of relocating and working in a foreign land as she herself experienced these same situations more than 15 years ago when she first arrived in New Zealand. Back then Filipinos were still “few and far between” in New Zealand and “skill shortage” was still unheard of!
Philippine-New Zealand (PHIL-NZ) Human Resources Limited recognises the fact that is known the world over: that Filipinos are incomparable skilled workers with excellent work ethics, possessing an inherent reliability with a “can-do” attitude, sensitivity to other cultures, English language proficiency and a fantastic sense of humour. That’s why we highly recommend the Filipino manpower to New Zealand employers to solve their skilled labour shortage. Our company’s services to you start as soon as the advertisements for the job positions come out in the print and media in the Philippines. We meet with you personally at our Makati office to assess your suitability to fill in the roles that our New Zealand employer clients’ need. Should you require assistance with writing your Curriculum Vitae (CV), we can also offer our expertise on this as we believe that a clear and concise CV highlighting your skills, educational training, employment background and achievements is the most important initial step in “getting one foot in the door” to be considered for the role. Once you’ve been selected to be shortlisted for the role, then we can help you with the interview as well, giving you essential hints on what Kiwi employers are looking for when interviewing candidates for the position. The interview with the New Zealand employer is done at our Makati office using real-time videoconferencing with full-screen video and superiorly clear audio. If and when the Kiwi employer decides that “you’re the one” for their business and offers you the position, then we will also help you understand the New Zealand employment contract and any other employment issues that you may have. We’ll make sure that you understand the contract 100% before agreeing and affixing your signature on it!
Philippine-New Zealand (PHIL-NZ) Human Resources Limited also provides assistance with the processing of your New Zealand visas and permits with Immigration New Zealand (thru our partnership with an Immigration lawyer). Our Immigration lawyer partner will advise you of all relevant documents you may need to submit for faster facilitation of all your Immigration New Zealand’s requirements to enter New Zealand to be legally employed.
We at Philippine-New Zealand (PHIL-NZ) Human Resources Limited will also provide assistance with finding your accommodation even before you arrive in New Zealand. Where and when possible, we’ll try to find suitable accommodation with other Filipinos already established in New Zealand to help ease your relocation and resettlement worries. We also conduct orientation seminars upon your arrival in New Zealand and will introduce you to the local Filipino association in your area if and when there is one. We would like to assure you that we will always try and be there for you should you need a “friendly face and a listening ear” for all your concerns. These are all part of our “pastoral care plan” to all our valued Filipino “kababayan” clients because we believe that your well-being is of paramount importance for you to be able to live happily and work efficiently in New Zealand.
Our Makati office is headed by Mr. Mike Mendoza, who will look after you and will set up a videoconference with our Auckland office should you wish to inquire more about what Philippine-New Zealand (PHIL-NZ) Human Resources Limited can do for you. Please check out our Contacts page to get in touch with Mike.
(We also do a presentation about New Zealand from time to time when there are enough Filipino candidates interested to attend. These presentations are strictly by registration only. Please contact us to learn more about this, thanks.)
