Your long-term workforce partner
Hiring skilled people for long-term roles can be slow, costly and risky especially when immigration, compliance, and retention are involved.
All Trades was built to remove that burden.
We partner with businesses across New Zealand to provide skilled, reliable workers for long-term projects, while taking full responsibility for employment, immigration, compliance, and ongoing support. Our model is designed for stability, certainty, and long-term success, not short-term labour supply.
Built for stability, compliance, and trust.
Traditional labour hire is often transactional and short-term. Hiring directly can expose businesses to risk, cost, and complexity.
All Trades offers a different approach.
We are a people-first workforce solutions partner focused on long-term employment and genuine partnerships. Every worker is directly employed by All Trades and supported throughout their journey in New Zealand, creating better outcomes for both workers and clients.
- We directly employ every worker — they are part of the All Trades family
- We focus exclusively on long-term placements (1+ years)
- We manage all immigration, employment and compliance requirements
- We provide full pastoral care, housing and settlement support
- We operate with a values-led, partnership based approach
A smarter way to secure skilled workers.
Hiring skilled staff directly, particularly migrant workers, means managing:
- Visa applications and renewals
- Employment law and HR obligations
- Payroll, leave and ACC
- Housing and settlement challenges
- Performance management and disputes
- Redundancy risk during downturns
With All Trades, we take on that responsibility.
We are the legal employer. We carry the risk. We manage the systems. You gain skilled, reliable people focused on delivering results.
