How JobBank works for clients
For recruitment agencies and direct employers. Pay only for the candidate details you need.
1. Register your business
Six short steps: legal and trading names, business type (company, sole trader, recruitment agency and so on), NZBN where applicable, contacts, billing details, hiring locations and expected volume. We verify your email.
2. Accept the client agreement
You see the full agreement before submitting. We record the signatory's name, position, business, agreement version and time of acceptance, plus limited device information for the acceptance record. A signed copy is emailed to you and kept in your account.
3. Approval and trial
Staff review your registration — usually within one business day. On approval the plan you chose when registering starts: the 14‑day free trial (10 unlocks), a monthly or yearly plan, or pay as you go. Until then you can finish registration and check your status, but not publish advertisements or search candidates.
4. Advertise anonymously
Describe the role, pay (base rate meets the platform minimum; holiday pay shown separately), schedule including overnight shifts, multiple vacancies and requirements. Staff approve advertisements before they go live. The public never sees your business name, exact address or site contact.
5. Search candidates
Filter by job title, skills, experience, region/city/suburb, travel radius, availability by day and time, work type, start availability, licences, verification status and transport. See why each candidate matches.
6. Unlock who you want to contact
Each unlock uses 1 credit and gives 30 days of access to contact details and client‑shareable documents. You see the cost and your resulting balance before confirming. Reopening within 30 days is free.
7. Select applicants, workers confirm
Applications never cost credits. Selecting an applicant reveals your employer details to that worker, who confirms or declines. Selecting does not unlock their protected details — that still goes through credits. When vacancies are confirmed, the advertisement is marked Filled.
8. You remain the employer
JobBank provides advertising, discovery, profile information and verification indicators. Employment agreements, wages, employment checks and workplace obligations stay with the hiring business or agency.
Verification indicators
Each candidate shows per‑item statuses: Not submitted, Pending review, Verified, Unable to verify, Rejected or Expired — for identity, work rights, qualifications, licences, employment experience and references. We show outcomes and dates, not the underlying sensitive evidence. Unverified information is always labelled; you make your own suitability and employment decisions.
Access and restrictions
- Accounts placed on hold or terminated lose candidate access immediately, including documents from earlier unlocks.
- Expiry removes access through JobBank; it cannot retract information you previously downloaded. Use candidate information only for recruitment purposes covered by the worker's consent.
- Credits belong to your business account. Multiple authorised users per business are supported by the account model.
