Exceptions are:

An Accredited Employer with Immigration New Zealand may employ a migrant worker under the Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa
The occupation is listed in the Essential Skills list and the candidate meets required qualification/work experience requirements.

Does the position you are recruiting for meet INZ requirements?

Employer Accreditation

Accredited employers can employ non-NZ workers on Talent (Accredited Employer) Work visa, without proving that there are no New Zealanders for the job.

Accreditation is valid for two years and can be renewed for two-year periods or 5 years (if all INZ requirements are met).

Four conditions to be met by employer:

Sound financial position; and
HR policies and processes of a high standard; and
Demonstrable commitment to training and employing New Zealand citizens or residence class visa holders; and
Good workplace practices, including a history of compliance with all immigration and employment New Zealand laws

INZ may carry out an audit of the employer and where necessary, conduct a site visit or request documentation or evidence from the employer as part of the audit.

Applications must be accompanied by documents which demonstrate that the employer meets the requirements (use INZ 1090) and a fee. The fee is lower for renewal of accreditation.
