LumiCV is CV-tailoring and job-tracking software you run yourself — not a recruiter or immigration consultancy. We show you publicly listed roles and help your application land; you choose the jobs and you apply.

Hiring in New Zealand

New Zealand CVs follow a hybrid US/UK convention: 2-3 pages, reverse-chronological, no photo, brief professional summary at the top. Local recruiters expect more detail in the experience section than UK/Irish peers and value evidence of cultural fit alongside technical fit.

The Green List Accredited Employer Work Visa fast-tracks tech, engineering, and healthcare roles, with a streamlined Straight to Residence pathway for occupations on the Tier 1 list. State your visa status (citizen / PR / Green List eligible / requires sponsorship) in the header.

Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.iom.int — before applying or making relocation decisions.

New Zealand-specific CV conventions

Three things that move the needle when applying in New Zealand — most foreign candidates miss at least one.

1

Two to three pages, no photo. NZ recruiters expect detail-rich experience sections.

2

Reference cultural fit and team contributions, not only technical metrics.

3

State visa status in the header: citizen / PR / Green List Tier 1 eligible / requires sponsorship.
