We Help Overseas Candidates Get Noticed in New Zealand

    Stop being ghosted. Start getting interviews

    You're experienced. Motivated. Ready to make the move. But applying from overseas? It’s a black hole.


    That’s where Gander Brand steps in.


    We help you cut through automated systems, stand out to NZ employers, and get in front of the right people.

    The Problem

    You’re not the problem- the system is.

    Most overseas applications never get seen by a human.


    Here’s what you’re up against:


    •  Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) blocking your CV 
    •  Bias toward local candidates and “NZ experience” 
    •  No personal network to get a foot in the door 
    •  Generic CVs that don’t show your real value 
    •  Lack of feedback or response  


     Even highly skilled people get lost in the noise.

    How We Help You Stand Out

    Here’s how Gander Brand works

     At Gander Brand, we work 1:1 with overseas candidates who are serious about making the move.


    We don’t promise jobs- we give you strategy, structure, and visibility.


    Here’s what we do together:


    • Understand your story and map your experience to the NZ market
       
    • Rebuild your CV & LinkedIn to showcase your commercial value
       
    • Create a targeted job hunt strategy
       
    • Introduce you to people in my network (across tech, logistics, ops, engineering, hospitality and more)
       
    • Coach you on how to approach the right people at the right time
       

    And most importantly:
    We make sure your true value get's noticed

    Why people trust GANDER BRAND

    Not just a coach- We’ve worked with startups, scaleups and global companies across New Zealand in:


    •  Recruitment Strategy
       
    •  Employer Branding
       
    •  Talent Advisory
       
    • Candidate Experience
       

    We’ve placed candidates in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Napier and Tauranga, and we know how to navigate NZ’s hiring landscape.


    What makes the difference isn’t a perfect CV.


    It’s the right positioning, a warm intro, and someone in your corner who knows how the system works.



    ''Liam has a deep understanding of who we are and what we're building. If he's backing a candidate for us, I'm always keen to hear more. Chances are, they'll be a great fit''.
