Answer
There is no right answer to this, I can only go off my own experience of applying to the DHB. You will probably get more help and guidance with an agency but ultimately there goal is to put you with an employer so they get the commision. They aren't that bothereed if you are happy. They will put you with what they have on the books and it might not be in the area you want to go. You could do both. Apply with the DHB but let them know your situation. A lot are desperate for staff and will wait for you. Mine did, about 9 months.
Good luck anyway.
