The smarter way to hire
verified talent in New Zealand
JobSeek is the only NZ hiring platform that takes you from job post to signed employment agreement — with candidate verification, AI matching, digital offers and onboarding built in. No third-party tools. No spreadsheets.
Most platforms stop at "Applied".
We take you all the way to Day 1 Ready.
Every other NZ job board hands you a pile of CVs and walks away. JobSeek manages the entire hiring lifecycle — verified, compliant and signed — before your new starter sets foot in the office.
Everything your hiring team needs
Built from the ground up for New Zealand businesses — including industries where compliance isn't optional.
AI-Powered Candidate Matching
The moment you publish a job, our matching engine ranks every candidate in the database by skills, experience, location, work rights and verification score. You see ranked results before a single application arrives — reducing time to shortlist by up to 70%.
Verified Work Rights
Every candidate's right to work in New Zealand is verified and date-stamped. Visa types, expiry dates and work hour restrictions are displayed clearly — and you receive automatic alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days before expiry. Never inadvertently employ someone without valid work rights again.
NZTA Driver Licence Verification
For transport, logistics, construction and aviation employers — candidates can verify their NZ driver licence class and endorsements (Class 1–5, D, F, P, R, T, W). Jobs that require a Class 4 licence only show to candidates who hold one. Knockout questions enforce this automatically.
Knockout Screening Questions
Set mandatory requirements — work rights, licence class, shift availability, minimum experience — and let the platform filter automatically. Candidates who don't meet your criteria are screened out before they reach your inbox. You only review people who actually qualify.
JobSeek Passport™ Trust Score
Every candidate carries a JobSeek Passport™ — a verified workforce identity scored across identity, work rights, criminal history, qualifications, licences and references. Platinum-rated candidates (95–100) have been comprehensively verified across all categories. Filter your shortlist by Passport level in seconds.
NZBN Employer Verification
Register with your NZBN and receive a Verified Employer badge that builds candidate trust. Candidates know they're applying to a legitimate, registered NZ business — not a scam listing. Your company details are auto-populated from the Companies Office register.
Microsoft Teams Interview Scheduling
Schedule interviews directly inside JobSeek. A Teams meeting link is generated and sent to the candidate automatically, with a calendar invite added to your Outlook. Reminders go out automatically. Feedback forms are collected from every interviewer after the meeting.
Digital Offers & eSignatures
Build an employment offer inside JobSeek, route it through an approval workflow, and send it to the candidate with one click. Candidates review, sign electronically and return — with IP address, timestamp, device fingerprint and document hash stored for a legally compliant audit trail.
New Starter Onboarding
After the offer is signed, the new starter is guided through a personalised onboarding checklist — collecting payroll information, bank details, emergency contacts, IRD numbers and policy acknowledgements. Track readiness in real time and see a Day 1 Ready score before they walk through the door.
Know who you're
hiring before
the first interview
In New Zealand, hiring someone without valid work rights carries serious legal consequences. Employing a driver without the required licence endorsements voids your insurance. JobSeek gives you verified answers — not candidate self-declarations — before you make a hiring decision.
