Posting a job on FindMeAJob.co.nz is completely free — no credit card, no contract, and no per-listing fee — and every application comes pre-sorted by AI before you read a single word.
What makes AI hiring briefs different from a normal CV inbox?
When a candidate applies through FindMeAJob, the platform's AI reads their CV against your specific job description and produces a structured hiring brief: a plain-English summary of how well that person fits the role, scored automatically. Instead of opening 40 unformatted CVs, you open 40 ranked summaries. The strongest candidates surface immediately.
This is the part that sets free job advertising apart from simply posting on a notice board or a generic directory. You get shortlisting intelligence built in — at no extra cost.
How do you set up a free employer account?
Setting up your employer account takes roughly two minutes. You need a business email address, a business name, and a brief description of your organisation. Once the free account is live, you can write and publish your listing straight away. There is no approval queue for standard listings, and all applications arrive in your employer dashboard with email notifications as they come in.
All candidates are NZ-based, so you are not filtering through offshore applicants who cannot legally work here.
What does a free listing include — and when might you upgrade?
A standard listing on FindMeAJob is free and includes:
- Unlimited candidate applications
- AI hiring brief for every applicant, scored against your job description
- Employer dashboard with application tracking
- Email notifications for each new applicant
- NZ-only candidate pool
- Access to applicant CVs and cover letters
If you want additional visibility — for a hard-to-fill role or a competitive market — optional paid upgrades are available: a Pro listing for a one-off $29, or an Unlimited plan at $99 per month. Standard listings stay free regardless of how long they run.
Is this actually free, or is there a catch?
There is no catch. You need a free employer account to post — that is the only requirement. You will not be asked for a credit card to set up the account or to publish a standard listing. The business model is built around optional paid upgrades for employers who want extra reach, not around charging everyone a listing fee upfront.
The distinction worth understanding: the AI tools on FindMeAJob for job seekers (CV scoring, interview prep, salary calculator) are separate from the employer posting side. Both are free at the standard level.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay anything to post a job on FindMeAJob?
No. A standard job listing is free. You need a free employer account to post, but there is no credit card required and no listing fee. Optional paid upgrades exist for employers who want more visibility.
How long does it take to set up and post a job?
Most employers complete account setup and publish their first listing in under five minutes. The free account takes roughly two minutes to create, and the listing form is straightforward.
Are the candidates actually based in NZ?
Yes. FindMeAJob is an NZ-only platform. Every applicant who comes through is based in New Zealand, which means no offshore filtering for roles that require the right to work here.
What is an AI hiring brief?
It is an automatically generated summary of each applicant, scored against your job description. Instead of reading raw CVs, you see a structured brief that highlights fit, gaps, and relevant experience — before you decide who to interview.
Can I post more than one job at a time?
Yes. You can post multiple listings from the same free employer account. If you hire frequently, the Unlimited plan at $99/month may suit you better than managing individual listings.
