Find out how Contractors find the best paid jobs

At NZexperts, freelance professionals are directly sourced by the hiring companies, so you do not have to constantly deal with wasteful applications to recruitment agencies. For this reason:


  • At NZexperts, you do not need to actively sell yourself, your next client comes to you.
  • The client company chooses the most appropriate contractor to do the job at an hourly rate which has been clearly stated upfront. This results in 37% of all requests turning into jobs.
  • On average a contractor receives one interview request every two months, which results in 2.2 jobs per year - about ten times more effective than any recruitment agent.
  • Log-in anytime to update (or optimise) your Profile (free of charge).
  • Should you receive more requests than expected, you can pause your listing anytime (free of charge). Also we do never charge you for more than one introduction per week.
  • Since your customers are already familiar with your skills and your hourly rate, there is no haggling or complex contract negotiations. In many cases, the assignment takes place directly after the first interview.
  • The anonymous listing avoids potential conflicts with your existing clients.
  • You might wish to minimise your risk by using our sample contract or our free escrow service.
  • Free telephone hotline, articles, news, ....

As a contractor, what fees do I face on NZexperts?

Unlike agencies that charge an ongoing commission for the duration of the contract, NZexperts charges you an one-off fee every time we place an introduction. The fee is as low as twice your hourly rate, that is it.

The client and you will enter into a contract and the client will pay you directly. As an example, a contractor on an hourly rate of $50 pays $100 (exclusive GST) per introduction.

On average, the fees paid by contractors accumulate to only 1% of their total turnover offering huge saving compared recruitment agents charging anything from 10% to 40%.

How do I ensure that my profile generates high client interest?

Our most successful contractors are either offering a rare specialisation, or are those that have priced themselves competitively against the rest of the market. By ensuring that your profile provides a clear, concise and realistic representation of your skills at a competitive rate, you significantly increase your chance of success. The clarity of your profile assists the client in their evaluation and avoids unnecessary and costly introductions that are not relevant to your desired work specialisation.

We suggest that you check some of the other profiles before you register.

*: Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

**: Our research found out that on average 2.7 introductions are required to obtain one assignment. NZexperts screens all requests for introduction to ensure formal correctness and legitimacy. We permit a maximum of one request per potential assignment. Professional recruiters and contract agencies are banned from using NZexperts. If you receive an introduction from a client who does not have a real or genuine assignment, simply notify us within 14 days and the introduction fee will be cancelled and the client might be restricted from further use of the NZexperts service. Please note, to keep the fees as low as possible, the introduction fee is charged irrespective of whether the introduction results in work or not.
