I also haven't had to recruit for specialist type positions. My positions have often been general type positions that have attracted many suitable applicants. If we were struggling to fill the position with suitable candidates within NZ, then we would more than likely look at candidates outside of NZ. So to be honest, it is probably the time factor for a lot of employers and a decision based on how many suitable applicants have applied who are already in NZ and available (and eligible) to work straight away.
Sorry I can't be of more help on this one.
Cheers
