Speaking to newsmen here on Wednesday evening, NZIS regional director Asia/middle East Mr Arron Baker said they were planning to recruit around 2000 IT professionals this year. As phase one, `Move IT to NZ' seminars were held in Hyderabad and now here. New Zealand is aggressively recruiting IT professionals internationally with facilitative government policies and promotional initiatives, he added.

He said on seeing the response, they were likely to hold such road shows frequently to woo the talent from India.
