Tools for the New Zealand job hunt, free and paid
A New Zealand job ad quotes pay before tax, and the choices that matter come after it: what lands in your account once PAYE, ACC, KiwiSaver and student loan are off, what the commute takes back, and whether your CV shows what the ad asks for. These tools work those out with New Zealand rates and conventions built in, so you can tell which jobs are worth an application before you write one. Each one below is tagged Free, On the Move or Your Career, so you can see what it costs before you open it.
Three free tools, no account needed
Open one and use it: no account, no card and no email address. Each is built on the same New Zealand rules as the app.
CV Builder

Build your CV →Offer Comparer
FreeTwo salaries in, and what lands in your account after PAYE, ACC, KiwiSaver and student loan out, at 2026/27 rates. Add employer KiwiSaver, health cover and a vehicle to see what each whole package is worth.
Compare two offers →Commute Cost
FreePetrol, parking, fares and the hours themselves turned into what the trip costs you a year, and what a job further away would need to pay to make up for it.
Work out a commute →Free in the app while you are between jobs
Between Jobs is the free plan: tick one box to say you are between jobs, and nobody asks for proof or a card. It runs your whole job hunt, and these are the parts that do the most work for you.

How the one press capture works →Real take-home pay

On the Move: the paid job hunt tools
For the part of the hunt where each application has to count. The AI tools write from your own CV, the ad and your records, and never claim experience you do not have. Every result is a draft for you to read before you send it.

Tailor My CV

How the letter writer works →Negotiation Coach

How the coach works →Your top 10 interview questions

Govt Application Kit and visa mode
On the MoveA selection-criteria checklist and a STAR-story builder for public-sector jobs, and every job flagged with whether the employer is listed as accredited on the INZ register.
The Career plan: Your Career

The Career plan is $4.99 a month billed yearly ($59.88 a year), or $6.99 month to month, GST included, with the same 7-day free trial and 50 AI actions a month.
