At Custom Consultancy, we believe in mutually beneficial employment partnerships that help job seekers transition into meaningful work while also providing direct value to employers. We streamline the process by working directly with Work and Income case managers to ensure that job seekers are pre-approved for Flexi-Wage subsidies before approaching potential employers. This removes administrative barriers and allows businesses to hire with confidence, knowing financial support is already secured. Additionally, we assist in identifying eligibility for upskilling programs and training grants, helping both job seekers and employers invest in long-term success.

Beyond financial support, we provide ongoing job seeker and employer assistance, including onboarding, career coaching, and workplace integration, ensuring a smooth transition for both parties. Our approach is about building strong, sustainable employment outcomes, helping businesses retain motivated and well-prepared employees while equipping job seekers with the tools and support they need to thrive. Partnering with us means accessing skilled candidates while benefiting from structured financial and training support—all with a simplified, employer-friendly process.

At Custom Consultancy, we recognize that meaningful employment support goes beyond just job placement—it’s about understanding people, their backgrounds, and the communities they come from. That’s why we collaborate with cultural advisory partners to ensure our approach is inclusive, informed, and culturally responsive. By working alongside Māori iwi representatives, multicultural service providers, and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, we strengthen our ability to connect with job seekers on a deeper, more personal level. These partnerships allow us to better understand the unique challenges faced by different communities and tailor our support accordingly.

Beyond seeking guidance, we are committed to giving back by offering our services to support these communities. Whether it’s providing employment resources, professional profiling, or work placement assistance, we actively look for ways to uplift marginalized and underrepresented groups. Our cultural partners help us bridge gaps, break barriers, and create employment opportunities that are not just accessible—but genuinely supportive of each individual’s identity, values, and aspirations.

Our partnership with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and Work and Income is designed to bridge the gap between JobSeekers and sustainable employment. By working directly within the Work and Income system, we streamline processes that often slow down job placements—helping to remove barriers and create a clearer, more efficient pathway to work. As recognized agents for JobSeekers, we can advocate on their behalf, assist with grant and subsidy applications, and ensure they have access to the financial and training support they need to successfully transition into employment.

This partnership isn’t just about speeding up approvals—it’s about delivering better outcomes for JobSeekers and employers alike. By integrating our employment placement services with MSD support, we can provide a more structured, proactive, and personalized approach to helping individuals gain meaningful employment. Through direct collaboration with Work and Income case managers, we ensure that JobSeekers receive tailored guidance, financial assistance, and career development opportunities, making the journey from unemployment to long-term success as smooth and supported as possible.
