What past exhibitors have to say about the expo

“PSS International are once again impressed with the number of serious migrants that the Working In Opportunities Abroad / Health Jobs Around the World Expos have attracted. We have been exhibiting with Working In since the outset, and can attest to the fact they have their finger on the pulse and always get the right people through the doors. The operations team on the ground never fails to impress. Thank you and see you again next year!”
Susan J Corke, PSS International Removals

"We have exhibited with Working In on numerous occasions over the past four years and have found them to be extremely well organised and have an ability to generate a high calibre of applicants through their advertising."
Rachel Baldy, Hays Globalink

“We have met lots of sensational people who we would say are a brilliant fit for the Hawke’s Bay.”
Barbara Arnott, Mayor of Napier

“The Opportunities New Zealand Expos are an excellent way for us to promote our employment opportunities internationally, which results in a talent pipeline for our customer organisations. It provides an opportunity to target both international candidates and returning New Zealanders, who can actually meet our clinicians and international recruitment specialists face to face.”
Rachel Spencer, Auckland Regional RMO Services Ltd (ARRMOS)

“People coming to the expo clearly understood New Zealand as their destination and had undertaken research about working and living in New Zealand. They were ready to commit to employment and were actively looking at what they needed to do to migrate and get employment.”
Andrew Lockhart, General Manager, Immigration New Zealand

“Bayleys has experienced a positive response from marketing to UK migrants and has transacted millions of dollars worth of real estate to UK buyers. Hundreds of people have visited our stand and we have registered dozens of serious purchasers genuinely wishing to buy our properties.”
Phillipa Calvert, Bayleys Real Estate

“Where else can you meet this many high-calibre people all in one place?”
Amanda Perkinson, IBM NZ

“We have made a significant investment in the Opportunities New Zealand Expo and this has certainly been repaid with the high quality of candidates.”
Ken Boam, Opus International Consultants

“We had some people who were very motivated about coming to NZ who had fabulous skills. The expo was overwhelming on a large scale.”
Melissa Parry, Statistics New Zealand

“The people that came to our stand were focused, targeted, motivated and researched. It is looking positive. We expect to make offers to about 12 people.”
Katie Sutherland, Beca

“We’ve spoken to at least 100 per day, so close to 400 overall. Eighty-nine percent 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 & Healthcare
