    Default Average time taken to get a job offer on work visa

    Hi All,
    I am entering Auckland for the first time on 20th January 2014 to validate my Silver Fern Job Search Visa and attend face to face interviews. I have established contact with some recruitment agents with phone/Skype interviews and positive feedback from them. I am aware that it is the client who has the last word but I believe the agent can influence his client, am I right? My main question however is "What is the average time to get a job offer if I am available for immediate start with my work permit in hand?". I am a Telecommunication Network Engineer with 6 years experience.

    Hi Benjiamino,

    I think it all depends. Like anywhere else in the world, how long it takes to get a job depends on a lot of factors like their requirement urgency, candidates already interviewed, your fitment into the role and a lot of luck (among other factors).
    In terms of activity in the market, I think it's pretty active market (especially compared to Singapore market that I am in right now). As an example - I happened to be lucky in the respect and got a job offer within 15-18 days of first contacting a recruiter.
    Given it's holidays time, expect real activity to return after 8th-10th Jan and you'll get a better picture of your matching jobs.
    Enjoy the holidays and very Good Luck in your job search!

    Cheers!
