Navigating Visa Types on Necta: A User Guide for Employers

Visa types are an important feature to consider when hiring applicants, as they determine an individual’s legal right to work in a specific country. By using Necta’s visa type filter, employers can easily identify and select candidates who possess the required visa status for the job. This ensures that the employer is compliant with immigration laws and avoids any potential legal issues. Furthermore, it allows the employer to have a clear understanding of the candidate’s work eligibility status and the duration of their stay in the country. By confirming the visa type of applicants, employers can make more informed hiring decisions and avoid any potential issues that may arise from hiring individuals without the proper visa status.

As a User of Necta, one of the features you have is the ability to filter job applicants based on their visa status. This can be a useful tool for employers looking to hire specific types of candidates. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature:

Step 1: Log into your Necta account and navigate to the “Create Job Opportunity” section.

Step 2: In the “Visa Type” field, select the visa type that you are looking for. There are three main options to choose from: NZ Citizen, NZ Permanent Resident, and NZ Work Visa.

Step 3: If you select “NZ Citizen,” Necta will only return candidates who are citizens of New Zealand. These candidates will have a New Zealand passport and will not require a visa to work in the country.

Step 4: If you select “NZ Permanent Resident,” Necta will return candidates who are either a citizen of New Zealand or have permanent residency in the country. These candidates will have a New Zealand passport or a Permanent Resident Visa.

Step 5: If you select “NZ Work Visa,” Necta will only return candidates who have a valid work visa for New Zealand. These candidates will have a visa that allows them to work in the country for a specific period of time.

Step 6: If you want to see all the candidates regardless of the visa type, you can select the “other” option.

Step 7: After selecting the desired visa type, click on “Search” button. Necta will then return a list of candidates that match your criteria whom you can connect with.

By using this feature, you can easily filter through candidates and find the best fit for your job opportunity. It’s important to note that the visa type selected only applies to job candidates who have filled their visa information on their profile. If a candidate has not filled the visa information, Necta will not be able to filter them based on visa type.

In conclusion, Necta’s visa type filter allows you to narrow down your search for job candidates based on their visa status. This can be a useful tool for employers looking to hire specific types of candidates, such as NZ Citizens, NZ Permanent Residents or NZ Work Visa holders. It also allows you to see all candidates regardless of the visa type. Keep in mind that this feature only applies to candidates who have filled their visa information on their profiles.
