How It Works

Three journeys, one principle: the right workforce for the work.

Whether you are an employer choosing a workforce, a professional looking for your next role, or talent connecting from the Pacific and beyond, here is exactly how 247 Staff works — and where humans stay in control.

The employer journey

From working out what you actually need to a person or agent who stays and succeeds. Employers pay recruitment costs; candidates are never charged.

  1. Tell us what's consuming your time

    Start with the problem, not a job title. We help you decide whether the answer is a Human Team Member, an AI Team Member or a Human + AI Team.

  2. Plan the role or workflow

    We define the outcomes the role must deliver, or map the workflow an AI Team Member could take on within boundaries you approve.

  3. Source and match on evidence

    We source locally and, where a role genuinely cannot be filled locally, internationally — then match capability and fit with structured, evidence-led assessment. AI supports the evidence; people make the judgements.

  4. Review a structured shortlist

    You receive comparable, well-evidenced options — candidates who have consented to being presented, not a pile of unscreened CVs.

  5. You decide

    You interview and choose. Every employment decision is yours — AI never decides who is hired.

  6. Onboard and retain

    We support a smooth start and build for retention, so a good hire becomes a lasting one. We refer legal, payroll and tax matters to qualified professionals.

The candidate journey

Free to join, transparent throughout, and always in your control. You are never charged for jobs, placement or recruitment.

  1. Join the free Talent Network

    Create a free profile in the 247 Talent Network. You are never charged for jobs, placement access or recruitment.

  2. Confirm your status and preferences

    Tell us your right to work in New Zealand and what you are looking for. Visa and immigration questions are referred to authorised immigration specialists.

  3. Give consent before matching

    Nothing is shared without your say-so. You control consent before your profile is ever presented to an employer.

  4. Apply or be matched

    Apply for roles that fit, or let relevant opportunities come to you as they arise through the network.

  5. Add optional evidence with WorkFit

    Complete an optional WorkFit assessment to show your strengths and fit. It is your choice and helps employers see what you bring.

  6. Build skills with optional SenzAI

    Choose SenzAI Academy learning if you want to grow your AI skills. Paid learning is separate and never affects your placement or priority.

The Pacific & international talent journey

Reciprocal workforce partnerships built on genuine vacancies and respect — not low-cost labour. We do not promise sponsorship or visas, and immigration advice is referred to authorised specialists.

  1. Genuine vacancy first

    The journey starts with a real New Zealand role that cannot be readily filled locally. We do not sell job offers or invent vacancies.

  2. Join the free talent network

    Professionals join the network for free. No payment guarantees a job, interview, sponsorship or visa — and joining costs nothing.

  3. Capability and fit assessment

    We assess capability and fit against the genuine role, with your consent, using the same structured, evidence-led approach.

  4. Employer-led selection

    The New Zealand employer reviews consenting candidates and decides. People make every employment decision.

  5. Immigration handled by specialists

    247 Staff does not provide immigration advice. Visa and immigration matters are referred to authorised immigration specialists.

  6. Onboarding and settling support

    Where a match proceeds, we support onboarding so people can contribute and settle well into their new role.
