Once you have been granted accreditation, and your business is now allowed to hire immigrants, you should advertise the role. If no New Zealanders are available, you can apply for a job check to confirm the role meets requirements to hire a migrant on an AEWV.

Before you start a job check, you need to be accredited to hire on the AEWV and have an acceptable job offer, job description and proposed employment agreement. You must have evidence you advertised if the job pays less than twice the median wage and is not on the Green List.

You can include multiple vacancies in one job check if the job details are the same and they are covered by the same advertising and employment agreement. If the location, job title or terms of work vary, you will need a separate job check for each role.
