Tappees (Employees)

Let the jobs find you

You’ve done the applying, the waiting, the wondering.

Now there’s a better way.

Upload your CV once — our AI will turn it into a standout profile so you can stay private while the right employers (the ones you actually want to work for) find you.

Private by design: You choose who sees your details and when.

Smarter profile building: Upload your CV — our AI formats it into a profile employers actually want to see.

Set & forget: One profile. Ongoing job opportunities.

Real connections only: You’ll only hear from verified employers who’ve paid to unlock your profile — so every Shoulder Tap means real interest.

Built for all Kiwis: Simple. Secure. Human.

Find the right people — faster

If you’ve tried to hire lately, you’ll know it sucks.

Shoulder Tap does recruitment differently.

Quickly pinpoint qualified candidates, unlock full profiles when they fit, start a direct conversation, and make the hire — without wading through another copy-paste cover letter.

Skip the job boards: Find people who are ready or open to move, before they hit ‘apply’ anywhere else.

Hire faster: Filter, unlock profiles, and Shoulder Tap to connect directly — no waiting for applications to trickle in.

Save big on recruitment fees: Pay one simple subscription instead of 15 - 18% of someone’s salary.

Quality over quantity: Every profile is AI-assisted and structured for better matches — so you find relevant talent faster.

Private & professional: Reach out quietly. Connect authentically. Hire confidently.

About Us

Recruitment’s been broken for a long time — so we built a better way

Shoulder Tap is New Zealand’s private, AI-assisted job-matching platform that connects people who belong working together.

Created by two Kiwi sisters who’ve been ghosted, hired, and headhunted enough times to know the recruitment system needed a shake-up.

Real people. Real jobs. None of the BS.

Just a genuine place where great jobs and great people finally connect.
