About

The students and graduates in Aotearoa have energy, optimism and bucket-loads of talent. They are believers and doers, adding immense value to employers – and Student Job Search sits at the centre of that connection. We’re the largest student employment platform in Aotearoa, connecting talent with opportunity in a way no one else can match.  

We cover it all – from temporary and casual positions to permanent career-starting roles and award-winning graduate programmes. Rangatahi are our future and we’re proud to champion them, supporting employers with top talent, proven processes and successful candidates. 

SJS was established in 1982. Local management committees were set up by local tertiary students’ associations to facilitate the Government’s student wage subsidy scheme. 40 years later, the fight for student well-being in Aotearoa is as important today as it was in 1982. The switch from the candidate-saturated market in the 80s and 90s to the job-saturated market we see today, however, is a testament to the incredible work SJS has done and continues to do in proving the hard-working, reliable, and passionate qualities that students and graduates bring to thousands of employers across Aotearoa every year.

Nau mae, haere mai. Kia haere tahi tatou i tenei ara. Welcome. Let’s walk this path together.
