NZ also. Used to work in social security, posting jobs with us used to be sufficient to say "we tried to hire locally, but no dice".

So we'd get positions like "Chef for Asian restaurant, must known how to cook food Sichuan style and must be fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, $10ph"

(At the time, minimum wage was $9ph)

You weren't getting a chef for $10 ph, you're not even getting a cook.

And definitely no-one who is fluent in your desired languages.

Ditto the golf coach required, some golf certification required, fluent in Japanese and Mandarin, $10 p/h.
