Higher pay, earlier vaccination enticing New Zealanders offshore

A fast-track to a Covid-19 vaccination is one of the sweeteners luring New Zealand workers offshore, according to a leading local recruitment firm.

Earlier this week the Employers and Manufacturers Association told Checkpoint it was aware of an Australian business offering a New Zealand worker three times their current salary.

One recruitment company says it is a "blood bath" of businesses poaching off each other, coupled with some international employers offering double the going rate and the enticement of offshore adventure.

Consult Recruitment's Angela Cameron say there is a lot to like about Australia.
