Terms of use

1. About JobBank

Jobbank.nz ("JobBank") is an online service operated by TALENT STAFF LIMITED (NZBN 9429049524529) that connects people looking for work with recruitment agencies and other clients looking for workers. JobBank provides job advertising, searchable candidate profiles, document review and verification indicators.

JobBank is not an employer, employment agency of record or payroll provider. The hiring business is responsible for employment agreements, wages, employment checks and workplace obligations.

2. Accounts

Workers must be at least 16 and legally entitled to work in New Zealand for the roles they apply for. Clients must be a genuine business or recruitment agency; client access is subject to approval and the Client Agreement.

Keep your credentials secure. Admin and owner accounts require a second authentication factor.

3. Worker profiles and applications

Registration and applying are free. You are responsible for the accuracy of your profile. JobBank may approve, hold, reject or terminate accounts and will give reasons where appropriate.

Verification badges describe the specific checks completed and their dates. They are not a guarantee of future suitability or performance.

4. Clients, plans and credits

Clients purchase access to candidate contact details and client‑shareable documents through plans and credits. One credit unlocks one candidate profile and provides 30 days of access. Full rules are in the Client Agreement and are shown when a business chooses its plan.

Candidate information may be used only for legitimate recruitment purposes covered by the worker's consent.

5. Advertisements

Advertisements are reviewed before publication, must be accurate and lawful, and must meet the platform's minimum advertised base rate. Public advertisements do not reveal the employer's identity.

6. Acceptable use

Do not scrape, resell or publicly distribute candidate information, attempt to bypass unlock expiry, include contact details in free‑text fields designed to be public, or misrepresent your identity or authority.

7. Changes and termination

JobBank may update these terms. Material changes to the Client Agreement require fresh acceptance. Either party may end the relationship as described in the Client Agreement and privacy policy.

8. Liability

To the extent permitted by New Zealand law, JobBank's liability is limited to the fees paid in the preceding three months. Nothing in these terms limits rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 where they apply.
