Can I auto-apply to jobs in New Zealand?

Yes. AutoApply is a desktop app that finds matching New Zealand roles, scores each one for fit, tailors a resume and cover letter for every posting, and applies for you. It works through your own browser session on the boards Kiwis already use, including Seek NZ and Trade Me Jobs. You set the match bar and can pause anytime.

Which New Zealand job boards does it work with?

It works through your own browser session on the boards you already log in to, including Seek NZ and Trade Me Jobs, plus Indeed and LinkedIn where you use them. We have no official integration, API access, or partnership with Seek or Trade Me; the app acts through your normal session, the same way you would.

Does it only work for tech jobs in New Zealand?

No. It works for every kind of job, not just tech. The founder ran hospitality, retail, and admin searches through it as well as technical ones and landed a hospitality job within a week. If you apply through Seek NZ, Trade Me Jobs, Indeed, or LinkedIn, it can run your search.

Auto-apply to jobs in New Zealand

Applying for jobs in New Zealand is mostly the same forms over and over: the same details, the same screening questions, role after role. AutoApply hands that busywork to software so your effort goes into the roles that actually fit, across Seek NZ and Trade Me Jobs. Here is how it works for Kiwi job hunters.

Auto-applying to jobs in New Zealand, and how it works

Yes, you can auto-apply to jobs in New Zealand. AutoApply runs as a desktop app for macOS and Windows that does the repetitive part of job hunting for you: it searches the boards you use, reads each listing, scores how well it fits your background, writes a resume and cover letter matched to that posting, drafts answers to the screening questions, and submits the application. You decide the target roles, the locations across New Zealand, and how selective it should be.

After a one-time setup, the flow is simple. You upload your resume once and set your target roles and locations. The app then finds and scores roles, ranking every listing by how well it fits you. For each strong match it tailors the resume, writes a cover letter, drafts the screening answers, and applies. It works at a measured, human pace rather than hammering anything, and you can pause it at any time.

The boards: Seek NZ and Trade Me Jobs

AutoApply works through your own browser session on the boards Kiwis already use. That means Seek NZ and Trade Me Jobs, the two biggest job boards in New Zealand, plus Indeed and LinkedIn where you use them. Because it acts through your normal logged-in session rather than a separate data-centre server, it behaves the way you do when you browse and apply by hand.

To be clear about what this is not: we have no official integration, API access, or partnership with Seek or Trade Me. The app does not plug into their systems. It uses the browser session you are already signed in to, which is why your search runs on the same listings you would see yourself.

Local-first: your logins stay in your keychain

Your job-board logins stay on your machine in your operating system keychain, never on our servers. That is the privacy point that matters most: the credentials for your Seek NZ and Trade Me accounts do not leave your computer.

We will be honest about the one thing that does leave. To tailor each application, your resume and profile are sent securely to a cloud AI that writes the matched resume and cover letter. So the resume does travel off your machine to be tailored, while your logins stay local. We do not sell your data, and we are not going to claim nothing ever leaves your machine, because that would not be true.

Every kind of job across New Zealand

This is not a tech-only tool. It works for every kind of job, whether you are after hospitality, retail, admin, trades, healthcare, or a technical role. The founder ran hospitality, retail, and admin searches through it alongside technical ones and landed a hospitality job within a week. If you apply through Seek NZ, Trade Me Jobs, Indeed, or LinkedIn, it can run your search wherever you are in the country.

Matching and per-role resume tailoring

The point of auto-applying well is not firing the same resume at every listing. Mass-blasting is what gets you filtered out by applicant tracking systems and skimmed past by recruiters. AutoApply scores every role for fit and only applies to strong matches, with a resume tailored to each posting. You set the match bar, which defaults to 70 percent, and can raise or lower it. Tailoring each application by hand is exactly the slow part, so handing it to software is what lets you keep quality at volume.

In the founder's own search (20 Apr – 26 May 2026), AutoApply analysed 4,172 roles and submitted 1,218 tailored applications across 524 companies, saving roughly 304 hours of form-filling. The strong matches are what converted into interviews. These are one person's real numbers, not a projection for the New Zealand market.

Account safety and terms of service, honestly

You log in yourself and the app works at a measured, human pace rather than hammering a board's API. That said, no automation is ever completely without risk, and platform terms can change, including those of Seek NZ and Trade Me. You control how much it applies, you set the match bar, and you can pause anytime. We would rather say that plainly than pretend the risk is zero.

What it costs and early access

AutoApply is not free. Full pricing reveals on 1 July 2026. Early-access members lock in 25 percent off whatever it launches at. There is no time-limited trial: the bot applies to your first 10 roles so you can see it work, then you pick a plan to keep going.
