“Sooo disappointed and stressed and was about to give up until I saw a job by FRENZ Recruitment & Immigration.
They’d worked with me to make my experience more marketable in NZ and, within 2 weeks, secured an interview. I’m glad to say I received a job offer but could not have done it without FRENZ.
I highly recommend that, if you are looking to immigrate, this is the only company you should use.”

Thank you so much, we are very happy with you who helped us to get resident visa. I really appreciate your huge help for more than 10 years (since 2009!), in long term relationship.
I still remember the tall lady who interviewed me at Auckland office, was worried about me because of my height (148cm) if I can do milking.

Mai - perfectly sized farmer & NZ Resident
FRENZ Recruitment was very committed to making my professional long-term dream come true. And they worked with me to make it easier to understand professional legal programs. They collaborated with me on this project and all the company officials who worked with me worked very hard. Not only did they take my contract seriously but they are still investigating over the phone with concern for my well being.
I have also recommended my friends to do business through this company. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to FRENZ RECRUITMENT. – Langesh
මාගේ දිගුකාලීන වෘත්තීය සිහිනය සැබෑ කර ගැනීමට FRENZ ආයතනය මහත්සේ කැපවී සිටියේය. වෘතිය නීතිමය පැතිකඩ තේරුම් ගැනීම පහසුවුයේ ඔවුන් නිසාමය. මෙම සමාගම හරහා ව්යාපාර කිරීමට මම මගේ මිතුරන්ටද නිර්දේශ කරනු ලබනවා. FRENZ ආයතනය ට මාගේ හෘදයාංගම ස්තුතිය සහ අගය කිරීම පුද කර සිටිමි. – ලන්ගේෂ්
