| Message | Newjobz actually destroyed our dreams.When me and my wife visited Newjobz they gave us a positive picture of helping us settle. One of Newjobz directors called Keith Lightfoot was very convincing actually promissed me to get a New Zealand citzenship. I believed and paid Newjobz, the experience with Newjobz was a very frustrating. I waited for 120 days no jobs infact they have a stupid little box tracking system, and when i added the number it did not tally. I realised newjobz was dodgy and so was Keith Lightfoot and his team, so claimed my moneyback based on the contract. True colours of a snake... they wanted me to extend and made me wait for more than 15 days. I paid through my Newjobz fees through Credit Card so applied for a chargeback. My Credit card company got the money straight back into our account.
1. Pay Newjobz through Credit card, you can apply for charge back.
2. Please dont be fooled by the intial letter sent by Keith Lightfoot it is decieving and he does not care about you.
3. NZIS is intrested in helping potential migrants, operators like Newjobz are after your money.
4. Paying money to Newjobz actually causes a lot of tensions in familly.(your wife pretty much troubles you everyday for progress and you are frustrated)
5. I agree with you Employment consultants are Bullocks
6. Now me and my familly are finally moving to New Zealand.
7. Newjobz nearly destryed my New Zealand dream, save yours!!! |

| Message | i am also looking at migrating and received a letter from keith lightfoot. i am not sure about it all - i dont have Immediate skill shortage status. My area is communications and writings, is it advisable then to go with a company that also has recruitment capabilities? How did you manage to migrate to NZ in the end? Do you have skills highly in demand? how long did it take from application to acceptance? |

| Message | Hyperlink is money making company like other firms such as Newjobz.com, never ever fall into their ambush.
If you are desperate to follow your dream then go through NZ immigration website and follow the steps mentioned, this would more economic and less of hassle. This would be more easy and legitimate.
Let me make it clear to you all that Newjobz and Hyperlink can not fleche you any jobs there. On reaching there you will have to search the job through local newspaper fix and interview face to face and if selected you will get a job. So Hyperlink will be a sheer staying place for you at really steep price. On getting job he will demand from you and employer a share from your salary which I think is a very cheap strategy to earn money. So please be careful, I did not get job there and had to come back to India. Lucky for me I had taken leave from my present job so I had job in hand, some people had to suffer as they had quit jobs for coming there. So think very hard before you take any decision regarding these JOKERS (Hyperlink and Newjobz) and getting job there is very tough than India.
In Newjobz case I was dealing with bunch of jokers who call themselves employment manger, who don’t have any subject matter knowledge or domain proficiency. They don’t know what they are talking.
If I have to explain you their business model then its pretty simple, step by step money assortment and then keep money for 120 days and then asking you to extend the contract; to get more interest rate on your money, this will give them more working capital for their company.
I had really horrible experience with them. I was not able to get a feedback quick enough and then half the time the employment managers were out or sick and my case was not being attended. They kept enforcing that I should extend but I had made up my mind so they told me that there processing for refund only begins once in a month, only on the 20th and said that they cannot give an exact date as to when will the money be refunded. Not having heard from them I called them after 2 weeks of processing time and talked to Debbie (need more customer support training) who wasn't kind at all, she went on about the 100 of clients they have and they cannot update everyone with the progress etc.
They have told us that the refund will happen but don't know when. It is a simple transfer into a bank a/c. I think NZ govt. should step-up and enforce a strict law for these fraud criminals.
THESE COMPANIES ARE UNDER IMPRESSION THAT WE ARE EMOTIONAL AND HOODWINK. My sisters and brothers; urge to you please don’t let them think so. Let run a campaign to wipe them out from our society. |

| Message | Hi, it's been a great day seeing this website knowing that I was not the one who suffered from the cheating and lying of newjobz staff especially to Mr. Lightfoot and Mrs. Vosloo.
I have come to NZ seeking a new life and deposit a NZD$599.13 to their account. They never make a contact or even give me a call, losing my patience I know I have to look for one and on the following week I was offered a job offer. I then call their office asking for a refund of my money and Mrs. Andrea Vosloo replied to leave them 30 days. It was so disgusting when 30 days was over I phone them and she said through an email to leave them 14 days because it was an error on their part. After 14 days Mr. Lightfoot informed me through an email that newjobz has ceased it's activities and sold and they will inform me if I will ever get my money back.
What make me puke when I looked up at the website again, Mrs. Andrea Vosloo who happen to be the director of Newjobz is the Manager of Newskill. It's seems so funny but this woman smile like a snake caught in a trap. She is so dangerous in getting your money so beware, and I am wondering whether she have a family who seems to survive by eating other people's money. Watch out for Newjobz for it is changing to Newskill with the same old people. My family has live on bread and water for 1 whole week because of your lying and cheating peoples money out of their pocket.I curse all of you. |

| Message | I entered a contract with NewJobZ / Stu Macann & Associates Limited / Skill NZ (claims to be “employment and immigration consultant”) in April, 2006. The contract stated that, I have to pay a fee of NZD$3000.00 + 175.00 (GST) in order for them to find me a suitable full time job in New Zealand. The contract states that if they (NewJobZ) are not able to find me a job in 180 days, they will refund me NZD$2000.00. The fact is that they failed to find me a job; in fact I didn’t even receive an interview call through them.
After 180 days, I contacted them for refund of NZD$2000.00, but they refused to repay me back, saying that the Company's goodwill and intellectual property including the trade name NewJobZ has been bought by Skills New Zealand Limited. They also informed me that, Skills New Zealand Limited does not and will not accept any obligation in respect of the amount owing to you by NewJobZ (Stu Macann & Associates Limited).
So I contacted Citizen Advice Bureau. Their investigation found that both these companies were owned by the same people and that Skills NZ was registered in November. I came to New Zealand as a student and when I made the payment to NewJobZ, I had to borrow it from my friends. So I would like to get back the money (NZD$2000.00) that NewJobZ owes me.

| Message | Yes Raj...this certainly is true. Newjobz and its new partner Skillsnz are fraudulent and they must be taught a lesson. I paid them US$297 and never recd. any responses or calls from them. When I call them at the middle of the night from India, no one answers. Also no one ever replies to emails. Their phone service is a pain.
Someone on this forum has explained about charging back the paid amount through the bank. Does that really work ?? I'll talk to my bank immediately for this.
Beware about Skillsnz and Newjobz for employment and immigration.....rather use NZIS !! |

| Message | You should email the Comsumer, an organisation that looks after such things in New Zealand.
For general correspondence: info@consumer.org.nz
For best results write them a snail mail, As this will provoke an investigation:-
Consumers' Institute of New Zealand
Private Bag 6996
Wellington 6030
New Zealand
they investigate such things, as under New Zealand law it is illegal to sell services to consumers and then the consumer does not recieve the service. |

| Message | I have few suggestions to make:
The current Immigration Policy encourages people only from Visa Free country to come to NZ on Visitor Visa tin search of a job. Unfortunately it appears that the Indian and the Asians will find very tough to even qualify for visitor’s visa. It means the overall intake for the Indians will be less than Europeans. Our community Associations is not making enough fuss to force the government to make the changes. I am “one man band” and my voice disappears in the thin air but I will not give up. I urge people to read my comments on : www.inidinnewslink.co.nz
The students coming from India are often vulnerable and misguided by the agents and they end up studying in an unskilled field. I spoke to a student yesterday in Lower Hutt yesterday and he was given a run around by the institute he studied. He has already spent over $35,000 for the last three years and still mucking around without any proper help. There is no one here to help you unless your are strong enough to survive. The NZIS will only gives you form to fill it in and they are not relay helpful.
The bottom line is that everyone will after your dollar. Do your home homework first and don’t trust any one.

| Message | Unfortunately many of us shows “Desh Bhakti” when we are in India. There are very individuals or community organisation that really represent our interest at a higher level. Most of us will stop once our family members are in NZ. (I have none).
The new changes announced last week for SMC will not hep Indians. I didn’t see or hear anything complaints in media.
I suggest that that we need all Indians in NZ to create a committee of only few selected people who are interested in “Immigration Issues” only as this is the only issue where we have to fight collective. The government is confused because the officials are getting conflicting views.
We have some individuals who are involved in money making scheme by associating themselves with the Associations. I apologise for a blunt opinion.

| Message | Dear Mr. Raj,
Thanks for this awakening about New Jobs. In fact I had received two or three emails from Keith Leighfoot of this consultancy assuring me of a job in Finance in New Zealand against which he requested to send him a money first.
Your email really awakened us about this fradulent consultancy.
As I understand that you are based in Christchurch, if you could kindly let me know that is there any possibility to move to New Zealand with job offer and migrate, i.e. are there companies or recruitment consultantswho directly recruit the people outside New Zealand?
I am based in UAE with my family and I am interested in migrating to NZ and am a senior Finance Professional with 20+ years experience.
Kindly email me r_krishnan1959@yahoo.com
