By being specialists in the industry verticals allows Fluid Recruitment to bring real knowledge to a recruitment process. They are able to utilise their networks and market insight to add-value, where a generalist recruitment agency would otherwise not be able to do so and their nationwide approach enables them to reach a wider pool of prospective clients and job seekers.
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing economic disruption all over New Zealand, with many people having lost their jobs, especially in hospitality, tourism and retail, so the following lists some industries that might have jobs, and initiatives to help people find jobs, starting with construction and infrastructure.
The Government may fast-track resource consents for infrastructure projects. That means we’ll see new jobs in areas such as roading, walking and cycling, rail, housing, sediment removal from silted rivers and estuaries, wetland construction, flood management and landfill erosion prevention.
Similarly, affected workers with customer service experience will have the opportunity to train for a new career in growth industries such as community health and contact centres, with health care assistants are particularly in demand. The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) are working in partnership with these industries to offer free on-the-job training and online courses with NZQA unit standards.
There was funding of over $1 billion in Budget 2020 to create 11,000 new environmental jobs in the regions. The Department of Conservation (DoC), in partnership with councils, iwi and community organisations, is identifying conservation and biodiversity projects needing workers across the country.
The food and fibre industry already has demand for seasonal and long-term roles, and the industry has targeted those people formerly working in hospitality, aviation and tourism to help fill role gaps. Kiwifruit pickers, dairy and beef workers, beekeepers and vineyard pruners are particularly in demand.
With restrictions on migrant workers entering New Zealand, and many of those already here expected to leave the country, there are lots of vacancies for immediate-start seasonal workers in crop farm and dairy farm work − a first step to more skilled roles.
The demand for health professionals continues to be high. In particular, health care assistants, mental health workers, psychologists and other medical specialists are needed urgently, and there is still a shortage of early childhood, primary and secondary teachers, especially in Auckland.
