Launch release
Its official the new website is now live. The past 24 months has seen one of the biggest projects undertaken by Automotive Employment NZ. Recognising housing pressure could only impact Government policy on Immigration Automotive Employment NZ set to develop our business to deal with what we perceived will amount to change.
The changes commenced with the implementation of a new applicant tracking system. Next were additional technology advances including client portals, a fully digitised recruitment process, candidate marketing initiatives and finally the Automotive Employment NZ website.
While we have sought to keep some of the look and feel of the old website, every single page has been rebuilt. Some 60 or 70 pages are viable to job seekers but there are some 150 pages behind the site demonstrating just how big this project has been behind the scenes.
We are particularly proud of the Job board which has vastly improved features from the old site. The Job Board now allows candidates to track what applications they have made, register with the site and upload resumes, register for Job alerts and much more.
Job Board
The Employer services section can be navigated from the home page. Im sure there will be a few job seekers taking a quick look at what we see as 2019s current remuneration estimates but please take into account the wide variety of variances such as you skills and abilities locations, qualifications etc
Our list a job function is improved making it easier for employers to list vacancies and executives should also note we have advanced tips for preparing for management job interviews. There is also a section for interview tips for general job seekers and many of these tips can not be found elsewhere. The same could be said about the skype interview tips

One of the more interesting pages we are immensely proud of is the Virtual Tour of New Zealand. For those in the motor industry it is not just the best pictorial tour of New Zealand we can find on the web, it also identifies the economic drivers for each region that are specific to the motor industry. If you are looking for motivation to move to New Zealand or to move within New Zealand this is a great place to start.
A big push has taken place to increase our presence with New Zealand employees and employers while also positioning ourselves to better assist offshore job seekers who may soon find their applications have increased complexity.
