    I am currently looking into immigrating to New Zealand with a view of working on the Christchurch rebuild. I am a Quantity Surveyor and I'm need advise on who are the best recruitment agencies to contact as I would prefer to have a post before I leave Ireland.

    Any response much appreciated

    Get in touch with the recruiters listed on the results in Seek and you'll have an idea of the job market. Might be best just come down on a Working Holiday Visa and apply in person as i'm sure they get tons of overseas applications.

    Dont go through a recruitment agency.
    Just show up and ring the companies directly and tell them you're ready to start right away.

    If you cant get a job as a QS in CHCH at the moment you've no business working anywhere at anything tbh.
