What a reverse recruiter actually does
A traditional recruiter works for the employer and is paid to fill a role. A reverse recruiter works for you: the focus is finding roles that suit you, not filling one company's vacancy.
PBridge works on your side in New Zealand. We search across job boards and company career pages, tailor your CV for each role, and apply to the ones you approve. Employers hire you directly.
On your side
We are not paid by employers, so the only goal is roles that fit you.
Wider than one agency
We search across major job boards, applicant tracking systems and company career pages.
You stay in control
Nothing is sent without your approval.
Reverse recruiter in New Zealand
How a reverse recruiter fits alongside recruitment agencies in New Zealand
Recruitment agencies in New Zealand are paid by employers and work from the vacancies they hold. Many roles, especially at smaller companies and in the public sector, are posted only on the employer's own site or a national job portal.
We start from you. Each week we search employer career pages, the national portals and agency adverts together, and you choose which roles we apply to.
Direct employers
Company career pages and national portals in New Zealand.
Agency adverts included
Recruiter adverts are part of the list, and you approve each one.
No exclusivity
Keep your own recruiters. Tell us who already has your CV.
How it works
You approve. We apply. Every week.
How our reverse recruiter works in New Zealand
Nothing is sent without your approval, and every application is tracked with proof. This is the difference between PBridge and auto-apply tools that fire your CV at everything.
01 · Onboard once
Upload your CV and tell us your target roles, locations and salary. We rebuild your CV and send it to you to confirm.
02 · Approve your weekly list
At least 50 matched roles in New Zealand arrive on your dashboard each week. You approve the ones you want in a few minutes.
03 · We tailor and submit
For each approved role we tailor your CV and cover letter, complete the employer's application form and submit it in your name.
04 · You see the proof
Each submission is logged on your dashboard with a confirmation. Replies and interview requests reach you directly.

What is different about New Zealand
New Zealand's job market is smaller and relationship-driven, centred on Auckland and Wellington, with demand in healthcare, construction, engineering and technology.
We source New Zealand roles that fit you, tailor your CV to each and submit the applications you approve.

Questions
Before you start
Anything else? Email support@pbridgeco.com and our team will come back to you.
Can I use a reverse recruiter and recruitment agencies in New Zealand at the same time?
Yes. Tell us which agencies and employers already hold your CV so the same role is not applied to twice.
Do you apply to regional roles based in New Zealand?
Yes. Regional headquarters in New Zealand hire for cross-market experience, and we bring that to the top of your CV for each role.
How is this different from a recruitment agency?
Agencies work for employers and only put you forward for their own vacancies. We work for you across the whole market.
Do employers pay you?
No. We do not take fees from employers or a share of your salary.
Can you find accredited employers?
Yes. When you need an Accredited Employer Work Visa, we prioritise roles from accredited employers.
Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?
Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
