About CareersNZ

CareersNZ is a national talent pool for Aotearoa New Zealand. It exists to make job seeking fairer and hiring less noisy, by keeping candidates in control of their own details.

Why we built it

Most job seeking today means scattering your contact details across job boards and then fielding calls about roles that do not fit. For employers, it means wading through applications from people who were never a match. We thought there was a better way: a pool where candidates opt in, stay private, and only ever hear about roles in the sectors and regions they chose, while employers see a focused shortlist of people who are genuinely relevant.

How privacy works

Employers only ever see a first name, a location, any licences or endorsements, and a short bio. No surname, no email, no phone number, until a candidate decides to apply. The candidate always makes the first move, and can withdraw from the pool at any time. That single rule shapes everything about how CareersNZ works.

Who is behind CareersNZ

CareersNZ was founded by Gordon Findlay, who has spent years building training and career pathways for New Zealanders across freight, logistics and the wider workforce. The platform grew out of a simple observation from that work: plenty of job-ready people never get seen by the right employer, and plenty of employers never find them. CareersNZ is the bridge.
