Are you looking to hire student or graduate talent for your business? As well as good academic grades, we know employers are looking for the essential employability skills of work readiness, resilience, collaboration, communication and the ability to step confidently into life’s challenges. We offer a number of ways to connect your organisation to AUT students and graduates.
We can find the right fit. We design courses in conjunction with industry leaders (like our Master of Construction Management, co-designed with Fletcher Construction) that teach students integral skills, so they can hit the ground running in your organisation.
Our exclusive on-campus recruitment service gives employers an easy way to access the large pool of graduate talent emerging from AUT by seamlessly connecting employers with our students and graduates. We work closely with you to understand your talent requirements – both in terms of technical skill and cultural fit – matching you with a shortlist of candidates who have been selected to best fit the requirements of your role.

Promote your job opportunities by posting on NZUni Talent where you gain instant access to students and graduates from AUT and other universities in NZ. List your graduate vacancies, internships, volunteering opportunities or entry level roles quickly and easily via the centralised platform and access students and graduates across seven universities simultaneously for a reasonable cost.
Most of our study programmes at AUT include workplace experience for students. Placements benefit the employer as much as the student – your organisation can get help on a project, and students get relevant work experience while gaining credit toward their study.
Placement lengths can vary from weeks to months, and during the placement you’ll need to give feedback on the student’s work.

It’s easy to advertise your job roles and find the right match.
Raise awareness of your organisation and highlight opportunities to students and graduates – attend a career fair or expo, or lead a workshop or presentation. Our employer events are a great way for you to connect with top talent.
