About the Jobs Database
The aim of the Global Focus Aotearoa Development Work database is to provide a networking tool for our clients that assists them in both advertising and finding development employment opportunities. Our database houses development related jobs, volunteer positions and internships, contracts and consultancies.
The information provided below explains how you can use the jobs database both if you are looking for a job or if you want to advertise one. Make sure you read the terms and conditions at the end of this document.
Who needs to pay to advertise work?
Non-governmental, non-profit organisations involved in development work do not need to pay to submit work on the Development Work Database and should select ‘not-for-profit’ when entering job details.
All other organisations – including government departments, intergovernmental organisations and recruitment agencies advertising on behalf of NGOs – need to pay to submit work on the database and should select ‘for profit’.
Health ministries of Pacific Island governments may post jobs for free through the PHRHA scheme. Please see below for further details on how to use this service.
Before we validate any jobs submitted as NGO/not-for-profit we will check to see if the submitting organisation qualifies to submit jobs free of charge. If you are unsure whether your organisation qualifies please send us an email.
There are two payment options for the submission of jobs onto the jobs database.
Individual listing - NZ$50 per job
This amount entitles you to the advertisement of one vacancy only, for up to 3 months. Organisations based in Aotearoa New Zealand will have to pay GST of 12.5% on top of this fee (NZ$56.25).
Annual Subscription - NZ$3000
This lets you submit as many jobs as you want over a year. Please note that purchase of an annual subscription does not mean that Global Focus Aotearoa guarantees to validate all jobs submitted. Jobs which do not meet the criteria outlined below will not be submitted regardless of whether an organisation has an annual subscription or not. Organisations based in New Zealand will have to pay GST of 12.5% on top of this fee (NZ$$3,375.00).
Inappropriate or fraudulent jobs will not be validated under any circumstances.
