What Snagged is, what it costs, and how it helps you land an NZ job faster.
Snagged is a free New Zealand job-search platform with a built-in AI assistant. It lists live NZ jobs (public-sector, local listings posted directly on Snagged, and aggregated roles) and, for any job you choose or paste in, it tailors your CV, writes a cover letter, scores how well you match, and helps you prep for the interview.
Yes. You can search jobs, tailor a CV, and write a cover letter for free, with no credit card. Pro adds unlimited AI rewrites, 5 Deep-Tailors a month on Claude, interview coaching, and CV translation into 16 languages, and you can buy one-off Deep-Tailor or rewrite credits without subscribing.
Seek and Trade Me are job boards: they list roles. Snagged lists NZ roles too, but it also does the application work for you, a CV tailored to the exact job, a cover letter, and an ATS match score, so you send a sharper application in minutes. Career advisors recommend tailoring your CV to each role; Snagged automates that.
Yes, it is built specifically for New Zealand. It pulls in NZ jobs, understands NZ regions and towns, supports Te Reo Māori and Pasifika languages, and links to NZ services like Careers NZ, Work and Income, and IRD.
No. Snagged never fabricates experience. It only sharpens, restructures, and better presents the real experience already on your CV. You always review the draft before you send it.
Many employers use applicant-tracking software (ATS) that filters CVs by keywords before a human reads them. Snagged's match score checks your CV against the job ad and shows the keywords the filter is looking for, so a robot doesn't reject you first.

Yes, students and new graduates are a core audience. There are graduate and internship search shortcuts, student-focused resources, and CV help aimed at people with little or no work history.
Yes. Found a role on Seek, LinkedIn, an employer's site, or anywhere else? Paste the ad into Snagged and it tailors your CV and cover letter to that exact job.

Snagged can translate your CV into 16 languages including Te Reo Māori, Samoan, Tongan, Hindi, Tagalog, Chinese, Spanish, and French, and the AI writes your CV and cover letters in your language. The app menus are in English for now.
Your CV and personal details are encrypted, and you can delete your account and data at any time. Snagged's privacy policy lists exactly which providers process data and how long it is kept.
