Few candidates lining up, even for 'dream jobs'

An Auckland-based recruitment agency says there are simply too few suitable people in the labour pool to fill a growing number of vacancies.

Synergy Consulting is looking for candidates for what appears to be a dream job, including a month's training in Paris with accommodation and all expenses paid, a company car and a six figure salary.

Managing director Belinda Staff says that no suitably skilled talent is coming forward to take up the role.

She says New Zealand's employment market is in a critical situation and people with key skills can virtually pick and choose the positions they are applying for.
