Other Notes If you want to have a confidential chat to learn more about this role, feel free to call Tim (company director) on 027 310 3623. Feel free to leave a message if he doesn’t answer, he is in meetings sometimes!

Ideally the candidate would re-locate or live close to Matamata.

Windows or Mac – you can choose what you use within our business.

We love 40 hour work weeks, that is, trying to not exceed 40 hours. This is part of our core values, and reflects the fact that we know that you will get your best work done within 40 hours. We don’t like tech companies that make staff work 60 hours weeks – not cool!

Flexible working – you maybe able to work from home 1-3 days per week, once training is completed (this normally would take 6 months). This can be discussed in interviews in more detail.

Don’t send a CV through that has links in it that are not clickable, or selectable. Applications that have this will be discarded automatically.

Check your links before you submit them. If you are linking to a portfolio website, then make sure it works. If you are linking to your LinkedIn, then make sure this works (crazy we would have to say this, right?!)

If you have any crazy restraints of trade in your current employment, or a long notice period (e.g 2 months), let us know. This is fine – but we like to know about this up front.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU APPLY:

Your application may be pre-screened by our HR team. This is to check things such as that your CV clearly lists the requirements above, and that you are eligible to work in New Zealand. If you are not – then please do not apply for this role.

Once pre-screening of your application has been completed, it will then be reviewed by one of our team. If we like what we see, we will email you for an interview. The first interview is normally a phone call (unless you live close by), and then if that goes well, we will invite you for an in-person interview at our offices. We can’t wait to meet you!
