FindBestWorkers Employer Registration

Find Best Workers is an independent, job seeker-focused consulting company that provides employer-search and job-matching consulting services to skilled job seekers who are based in New Zealand or overseas and wish to find employment in New Zealand.

Job seekers may independently search for and contact New Zealand employers to seek employment opportunities without using the services of Find Best Workers.

However, identifying New Zealand employers who may be suitable for a job seeker’s experience and skills, researching potential employment opportunities, approaching employers appropriately, presenting the job seeker’s experience and skills, and following up on the outcome can be a difficult and time-consuming process.

This process may be particularly difficult for job seekers who are unfamiliar with the New Zealand employment market or are currently based overseas.

Job seekers may therefore voluntarily engage Find Best Workers to reduce these difficulties and the vast time consuming involved in searching for employment opportunities.

Subject to a separate service agreement and the job seeker’s instructions and authority, Find Best Workers may provide the following services:

• reviewing and organising the job seeker’s employment-related information and materials;
• preparing, registering and managing the job seeker’s candidate profile;
• researching New Zealand employers who may be suitable for the job seeker’s experience and skills;
• contacting prospective employers on behalf of the job seeker;
• providing the job seeker’s information and materials to approved prospective employers;
• identifying employer interest and potential employment opportunities;
• assisting with processes relating to interviews or potential job offers; and
• providing other employment-search and job-matching support agreed with the job seeker.

The website is a platform operated by Find Best Workers to provide and support these services.

The job seeker is the client of Find Best Workers. The job seeker engages Find Best Workers to provide independent employer-search and job-matching consulting services to improve their employment prospects and help identify prospective New Zealand employers.

Find Best Workers acts for the job seeker in accordance with the job seeker’s instructions and authority.

Find Best Workers does not act as a recruitment agent, representative or consultant for a prospective employer and does not make the employer’s final recruitment decision.

Find Best Workers is not the job seeker’s employer or prospective employer and is not a party to any employment agreement that may be entered into between the job seeker and an employer.

Each employer independently decides whether to interview or assess a candidate, offer employment or employ that candidate.

The job seeker is responsible for reviewing any employment opportunity, job offer or employment agreement and deciding whether to accept it.

The information and materials registered on the website are not available to the general public.

The candidate database operates as a closed, login-controlled system. Only users who have been verified and approved by Find Best Workers may upload or access information and materials within the scope of their authorised access.

A job seeker may access only their own information and materials and may not access those of another job seeker.

A prospective employer may access candidate information and materials only after being verified and approved by Find Best Workers.

All users must keep their accounts and login credentials secure and must not provide or share them with another person.

A job seeker may directly upload information and materials that are reasonably necessary for employment and job-matching purposes.

Through their account, a job seeker may:

• access their information and materials;
• add new information and materials;
• correct or supplement existing information;
• update their information and materials; and
• request that information be made private or deleted.

Only employment-related information and materials reasonably necessary for a prospective employer to conduct a preliminary assessment of the job seeker’s employment prospects and suitability for a position should be registered on the website.

Where additional personal information or materials are required for an actual recruitment process, identity verification or visa application, they may be collected and managed separately through an appropriate and secure process with the job seeker’s consent.

Find Best Workers may restrict or remove information and materials that it reasonably considers unnecessary for the purposes of the website, excessively sensitive or otherwise inappropriate.

A representative or agent who has been properly authorised by a job seeker may upload information and materials on the job seeker’s behalf or assist with the relevant process.

The representative or agent confirms that:

• the job seeker has authorised and consented to the registration of their information and materials;
• the purpose of the website and candidate database has been explained to the job seeker;
• the job seeker has been informed that their information and materials may be provided to approved prospective employers;
• the job seeker has been informed that their information and materials may be provided, where necessary, to employees, contractors or service providers of Find Best Workers;
• the job seeker has been informed that they may review and correct their information and materials; and
• the information and materials being registered have been provided or confirmed by the job seeker.

A representative or agent must use the job seeker’s information and materials only to the extent reasonably necessary for employment and job-matching purposes.

Where necessary, Find Best Workers may request evidence of the representative’s or agent’s authority or the job seeker’s consent. Find Best Workers may also contact the job seeker directly to confirm their consent.

Job seekers and their representatives or agents must take reasonable steps to ensure that all information and materials they register are truthful, accurate and current.

If they become aware that any registered information is incorrect or has changed, they must promptly correct it or notify Find Best Workers.

Users must not register:

• false or misleading information;
• forged or altered materials;
• another person’s identity or materials;
• a third party’s personal information without proper authority or consent; or
• materials unrelated to the purposes of the website.

Find Best Workers may request verification, correction or further explanation concerning any registered information or materials.

However, Find Best Workers does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of all information and materials provided by users.

Before making a final recruitment decision, a prospective employer must independently verify the candidate’s employment history, education, qualifications, abilities and suitability for the proposed position.

The job seeker consents to the registration in the closed candidate database of information and materials provided by the job seeker or by their properly authorised representative or agent.

The job seeker understands and agrees that Find Best Workers may, to the extent reasonably necessary to identify employment opportunities and provide job-matching services, disclose the job seeker’s information and materials to:

• prospective New Zealand employers considering the job seeker for current or future employment;
• prospective employers who request the information and materials to assess the job seeker’s potential suitability for employment;
• employees of Find Best Workers who provide relevant services; and
• contractors or authorised service providers engaged by Find Best Workers.

Find Best Workers will use or disclose the job seeker’s information and materials only for purposes reasonably connected with employment, candidate searches, recruitment assessment and job-matching.

A prospective employer seeking access to the candidate database must be a genuine New Zealand business and must first be verified and approved by Find Best Workers.

An approved prospective employer may access candidate information and materials only for the purpose of considering candidates for genuine current or future employment opportunities.

Where a prospective New Zealand employer requests information and materials relating to a particular job seeker, Find Best Workers may provide the necessary information and materials after taking reasonable steps to verify the employer’s identity and purpose.

A prospective employer must not:

• use candidate information or materials for purposes unrelated to recruitment;
• copy or retain more information or materials than reasonably necessary;
• disclose information or materials to an unauthorised person or organisation;
• sell the information or materials or use them for another database;
• use the information or materials for advertising or marketing;
• use the information or materials in a manner that unfairly disadvantages a candidate or another person; or
• use the information or materials for any unlawfully discriminatory purpose.

Prospective employers must keep candidate information and materials confidential and secure.

Providing candidate information and materials to a prospective employer does not require that employer to offer an interview or employment.

At this stage, the website is not designed to allow job seekers and prospective employers to connect directly or freely exchange contact details through the website.

Where a prospective employer expresses an interest in a particular candidate, Find Best Workers may verify that interest and separately advise the parties of the appropriate next steps.

Find Best Workers may provide a job seeker’s information and materials to its contractors or service providers where reasonably necessary to provide the agreed services or operate the website and candidate database.

Contractors or service providers may assist with:

• registering and managing job seeker information and materials;
• preparing candidate profiles and employment-related materials;
• researching and communicating with prospective employers;
• supporting job-matching between candidates and employers;
• operating the website and candidate database; and
• providing other services agreed with the job seeker.

Find Best Workers will take reasonable steps to ensure that its contractors and service providers use the job seeker’s information and materials only for authorised purposes and within the scope of their assigned work, and that they comply with reasonable confidentiality and privacy obligations.

A contractor or service provider must not use the job seeker’s information or materials for its own independent purposes or disclose them to an unauthorised third party.

Any fees paid by a job seeker to Find Best Workers are consulting fees for services actually provided for the benefit of that job seeker, which may include:

• employment preparation;
• reviewing and organising employment-related information and materials;
• preparing, registering and managing the candidate profile;
• researching prospective New Zealand employers;
• contacting employers on behalf of the job seeker;
• providing the job seeker’s information and materials to prospective employers;
• supporting interviews and potential employment opportunities; and
• providing other agreed job-matching services.

These fees are not payments to an employer and are not collected on behalf of an employer.

The fees are also not payments in exchange for:

• a job offer from a particular employer;
• employment or continued employment;
• employment-related visa support; or
• the approval of a work visa or any other visa.

Find Best Workers does not provide the job seeker’s service fees with any prospective employer.

The specific services, service period, fees and other conditions applicable to each job seeker will be set out in a separate service agreement.

A job seeker must not offer, promise or provide money or any other financial benefit to an employer or any person connected with the employer in exchange for a job offer, employment or employment-related visa support.

An employer must not request or receive money or any other financial benefit from a job seeker in exchange for a job offer, employment or visa support.

Job seekers and employers must not participate in any unlawful or improper financial arrangement connected with employment.

A user who receives or becomes aware of such a request or proposal must promptly notify Find Best Workers.

Find Best Workers may research and contact prospective New Zealand employers, provide the job seeker’s information and materials to them, and assist the job seeker in seeking interviews and potential employment opportunities.

However, Find Best Workers does not sell jobs or job offers and cannot require an employer to interview or employ a particular job seeker.

The registration or disclosure of a job seeker’s information and materials does not guarantee:

• interest from an employer;
• an interview;
• a job offer or employment;
• any particular salary or employment conditions;
• employment within any particular period; or
• the approval of a work visa or any other visa.

All recruitment and employment decisions are made by the employer. All visa decisions are made by Immigration New Zealand or another relevant government authority.

Unless separately agreed through a lawful engagement, general information provided by Find Best Workers does not constitute individual legal or immigration advice.

Where necessary, job seekers and employers should obtain independent advice from a properly qualified professional.

Find Best Workers collects, registers, stores, uses and discloses a job seeker’s information and materials only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide employment-related, candidate-search, recruitment-assessment and job-matching services.

Find Best Workers will apply reasonable administrative, technical and security measures to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure.

A job seeker may request:

• access to their information and materials;
• correction or updating of their information and materials;
• restrictions on disclosure or that information be made private; or
• deletion of their information and materials where reasonably appropriate.

Information and materials may nevertheless be retained for a reasonable period where necessary to comply with the law, administer a contract, maintain appropriate business records or resolve a dispute.

Further details concerning the collection, use, disclosure, storage and deletion of personal information are set out in the Privacy Policy.

Find Best Workers may refuse the registration of information or restrict, suspend or terminate a user’s account or access rights where:

• false, inaccurate or misleading information or materials have been provided;
• information or materials have been used for an unauthorised purpose;
• another person’s information or personal information has been used or disclosed without authority;
• an account or login credentials have been shared with another person;
• the normal operation or security of the website has been compromised;
• these Terms and Conditions or any applicable law have been breached; or
• such action is reasonably necessary to protect Find Best Workers or another user.

Find Best Workers will provide the consulting services agreed under these Terms and Conditions and the separate service agreement with reasonable care and skill.

However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Find Best Workers is not responsible for:

• an employer’s decision whether to interview or employ a candidate;
• its services not resulting in an interview, job offer or employment;
• inaccurate or incomplete information provided by a user;
• the employment relationship between a job seeker and an employer;
• disputes concerning wages, duties, working conditions or an employment agreement; or
• the refusal, delay, cancellation or other outcome of any visa application.

Job seekers, representatives or agents, prospective employers, contractors and other approved users must comply with all applicable privacy, consumer protection, employment, immigration and other relevant laws.

Prospective employers must not use the candidate-search functions or candidate information and materials in a manner that unlawfully discriminates against any job seeker.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of the relevant New Zealand authority or court.
