Recruitment’s been broken for too long. We’re here to fix it

Everyone’s tired of the same old hiring headache

If you’ve ever tried to apply for a job or hire someone, you know the pain all too well: endless applications, radio silence, sky-high recruiter fees, and cover letters that are tedious to write and read.

For job seekers — it’s all the applying, waiting, then wondering…

For employers — it’s pricey, inbox overload, and frustrating.

For everyone, it’s exhausting.

We hit that wall ourselves (more than once) and decided to stop complaining about it and do something better.

Shoulder Tap flips recruitment on its head

It’s New Zealand’s private, AI-assisted job-matching platform that puts people first.

Upload your CV once, let out AI create a standout profile for you, and get Shoulder Tapped by employers who actually value what you bring to the table.

Or, if you’re hiring, skip the job ads and connect directly with quality candidates who are already open to opportunity.

No job ads. No ghosting. No endless scrolling. Just faster hires and fairer chances — finally.

Anna & Megan

Meet the founders shaking up the game

Sisters Anna and Megan have seen every side of recruitment — the hopeful job seeker, the overwhelmed hiring manager, and the frustrated recruiter.

After being ghosted post-interview one too many times (and watching businesses waste weeks sifting through the wrong CVs), they knew the system was overdue for a shake-up.

So, they built Shoulder Tap — a recruitment platform designed for the reality of work today: fast-moving, privacy-minded, and assisted by AI that actually helps, not replaces, people.

They’re proud to be Kiwi, self-funded, and proving that a small team with the right idea can take on the big players — and change the way New Zealanders find a job or their next hire.

*did someone say: about time!?!*

Turns out fixing recruitment was kind of our thing

Let’s face it — most job platforms just add to the noise.

Shoulder Tap cuts through it with a smarter way to connect talent and opportunity.

No more chasing: For Tappees, jobs find you — no endless scrolling, no ghosting, no awkward follow-ups.

No more guessing: For Tappers, our AI helps surface candidates who actually fit your business — not just anyone with the right buzzwords.

Privacy first: Keep your details (and intentions) under wraps until you’re ready to connect.

Real humans only: Every profile, every Tap, every hire — genuine, not generated.

Built for busy Kiwis: Simple set-up, straight talk, no middlemen. Just a better way to find your next move (or your next hire).
