Hi
It may be worth submitting your qualifications to the NZQA (http://www.nzqa.govt.nz) to get a formal recognition of your qualification. If you have NZQA backing then this would probably make you more appealing to NZ employers. Also check the skills shortage and priority occupations list as these generally show the qualifications needed to be recognised under these areas.
All the best |

Agreed Taffy!!
This is particularly the case for vocational qualifications which are often harder to objectively compare to NZ equivalents, than academic university degrees.
NZ employers can be understandably reluctant to offer jobs to overseas applicants, when the immigration process (NZQA, possibly professional registration, visas) is so long and cumbersome. If you can the first two of these out of way, it must certainly help chances as it reduces the possibility of future problems, and also demonstrates commitment.
