Frequently Asked Questions

LookSee is for talented professionals around the world who are genuinely interested in relocating to New Zealand for job opportunities and have the skills and experience New Zealand employers need.

The LookSee Talent Team work closely with New Zealand employers across all sectors to understand their recruitment needs and help them find LookSee candidates with the right skills and experience.

There are two ways to land the perfect job via LookSee – by Recommendation from our Talent Team or by participating in LookSee Campaigns.

Recommendations:

After completing your profile our dedicated LookSee Talent Team could recommend you to an employer. If your LookSee profile is identified as a possible match for a job opportunity, you will receive a Recommendation Request via email, with the job title and company name. From there, you’ll get the chance to either approve the request and share your profile with the employer, or you can decline the request and your profile will remain hidden.

If you approve the request, the employer will review your profile to see if you’re the right fit for the role. You’ll receive an update via email on the outcome, and if approved, the employer will be in touch regarding the next steps – you might be invited to have a Skype interview, telephone call or complete a skills test.

LookSee Campaigns:

You can use your completed profile to participate in LookSee Campaigns, and if your application is successful, participating employers will be able to view your profile and contact you regarding job opportunities.

If they think you’re a potential match, you’ll receive an Interview Request via email and you’ll get the chance to either approve or decline the opportunity. If you approve, the employer will be in touch regarding the next steps.

Once you’ve created your LookSee candidate account, you’ll need to complete your personal profile by providing all the required information. These include the following:

• Personal information
• Work history & education
• Rank your skills
• Upload CV/resume
• Questionnaire

Your profile will only be activated and searchable by the LookSee Talent Team once all the required fields are complete. You may also be invited to submit a personal video introduction at a later stage.

You will receive an email notification if your LookSee profile is identified as a possible match for job opportunities – either by our LookSee Talent Team, or by employers if you are participating in a campaign. Remember, the sooner you complete your details, the sooner your profile will be searchable.

Simply log in to your LookSee account using your email address and password, view your Profile and click the ‘Edit’ button. You can update your information from the profile editor page at any time.

You can delete your LookSee account at any time from the Account Settings page. Please note that this is permanent, and will remove all of your data from our servers.

Creating a LookSee account is free. However, you will need adequate funds ready for when you make the move.

We’ll notify you by email or via the LookSee platform to let you know about any new LookSee campaigns. You’ll be invited to join any relevant campaigns and you’ll be given instructions of what to do next at each stage of the campaign journey.

The LookSee Talent Team and Administrators will have access to your LookSee account and profile data. LookSee profiles may also be shared with Immigration New Zealand for visa reasons.

When our Talent Team find potential job opportunities for you, you will be asked if you’re interested, and if you approve the recommendation request your LookSee profile information will be shared with potential employers in New Zealand.

In addition to this, if you choose to participate in a LookSee Campaign, your profile may be made visible to any employers participating in the campaign.

LookSee works with employers across all industries, wherever there is a skills shortage. If an employer is unable to professionals with the right skills and experienced from the New Zealand market, they are likely to ask the LookSee Talent Team to help them find matched candidates.

LookSee does not specify an upper age limit. However, if you are offered a job in New Zealand, your age may determine whether you qualify for a work visa. To find out whether you qualify, you can check the work visa options on the Immigration New Zealand website.

To find out if your country is included in the visa waiver programme, visit the Immigration New Zealand website.
