By the title "too many people are going to New Zealand", I assumed it was about immigration. NZ seems like a great place to migrate to but the catch is that you need an offer letter from the employer first and there aren't any employers around (at least I am unable to find one) who are gladly hiring overseas candidates.

What do you mean "the catch"? That's how it works pretty much everywhere

There are exceptions, but the rule is that one.

Employers want you to be physically present at the place of job to give you a job offer, country gives work visa only when employer issues an offer letter. Not sure how that'd work?

Not all of them. The smart ones won't.

Come with 3 months tourist visa after already arranging some job interviews online, then once there go to as many as you can & once you get an offer apply for the work visa.

If you can code there are heaps. They're actually paying devs to holiday here to encourage skilled migration.

Any websites / resources where I can find jobs that accept overseas candidates?

I think he mean that:
