Why we built it

Most people run a job hunt from memory, a spreadsheet and a dozen email threads. Most of the tools are American: they know nothing of PAYE or KiwiSaver, and some bill by the week, in US dollars, while you are out of work.

New Zealand has its own rules. Pay is quoted before tax. Work and Income asks for evidence of your search. Public-sector roles are scored against selection criteria. The employer knows the pay band and the timeline, and the candidate knows almost none of it. Jobtracker.co.nz hands that information back to the person it is about.

How it's built

The public site is static and fast, with clean URLs. A verifier runs on every change and blocks a release if a page has broken links, more than one main heading or malformed structured data. The app is offline-first: your data lives on your device, and an account is only needed to sync or to work with a team.

It captures jobs from pages you were already reading and never scrapes job boards. Hosting is in Auckland, analytics are self-hosted, and server logs strip out sign-in links and private codes before anything is written down.

Impact

Every application shows what the job really pays after PAYE, ACC, KiwiSaver and student loan, so offers can be compared on the number that matters.

It lists no jobs of its own, so there is nothing to sell an employer and no reason to keep you applying. It carries no ads, never sells your details, and export and erase do exactly what they say.
