Cheers for your interest. The company is/was Chrysalisrecruitment NZ. Many thanks for your trouble.

As a recruitment consultant in NZ myself, reading this entire thread really brings it home about how vulnerable people can be to lies and deception when moving overseas.

I will be printing it off and distributing it to my team as a reminder that the work we do is not to be taken lightly, and that people from overseas are to be given as much respect and honesty as people we meet face to face. Who knows - one day we may well meet them face to face (as it seems this mob may!)

I am sorry to hear that people have been ripped off, and can only reiterate that NO ONE should pay for a recruitment service alone. (Work and visa services involve a lot more fees and paperwork so I can see where a fee is involved there). In a western country they simply shouldn't have to, as they will be adequately catered for by firms that are already supplying to their industry in the area they plan to work.

I personally have dealt with several enquiries from people on BE. Some we have been able to help, others we have not been successful with. They know who they are, and whilst the services the company I work for are not always squeaky clean perfect in communication, we ARE honest.

One thing about agencies is that regardless of what we say, ultimately we all have our 'specialty areas' whether in trucking, hospitality, manufacturing, electronics, etc and these are based on the networks of industry contacts that individual consultants have. The best thing for any potential jobseeker is not to stick with one agency, but to get out there and try as many as you can find contact details for - in addition to continuing your own search.

Also, you will multiply your chances by a factor of 1000 if you come out to NZ in person. A case study: I registered a welder yesterday - let's call him 'Dave'. He is over from the UK for 1 week, arrived yesterday and leaves next weds. He is rightly trying to sort his own interviews, and had one yesterday. Just this morning we have arranged an additional 4 interviews with a variety of companies over the next 2 working days. I am positive that he will return to the UK with a job offer, hopefully more than one. The moral - get out here in person and it will happen for you too if you really want it to - with or without the use of an agency.

But whatever you do, be wary of any agency that even hints at a charge, a fee, or a commission - either up-front, or as a deduction from future wages. There should be no contract with an agency unless you are a contractor yourself (eg in aerospace or similar) and if there is, ready the fine print and take legal advice if you are unsure of anything.

Anyway, enough of my blather - good luck to all you job seekers out there, and I hope those stung by these folks are even more successful than they would otherwise have been.

Also - karma on here is all well and good, but out there in real life it has a funny way of biting you on the ass. I am sure that at some point these people will get theirs, and I only hope those who got done over by them get to hear about it.

Cheers for that Wiz,

Very sound advice. If only I had PM'd you a year ago (like someone on here suggested).................I wouldnt be in this mess:curse:
Honesty is always the best policy...........................personally I wouldnt be able to sleep at night if it was me that was the lying scumbag.

I gave her a chance........................a right of reply.........................to my email................................but no explanation.........................no begging for forgiveness from her........................and no refund for me and Marika.

Anyway, trading standards, certain police forces (internet fraud intelligence)in england, watchdog and Whagarei police will be getting a full report regarding it......................tee hee ....................maybe they wont sleep much after knowing that

Best wishes in your job............

p.s........................thanks to everyone for your messages of support and karma.........................much appreciated!!

Jill I'm sure a lot of people are also going to be keeping their eyes open for this couple incase they re-surface in the future. The British emigrant community in NZ is quite interconnected.

Have a Happy Easter xx.
