About us

NxtStep is the leading, independent, graduate employment and careers research platform in New Zealand, used by thousands of students every week nationwide. Our purpose is to inspire and empower the newer generations to kick-start their careers and create meaningful connections between them and early talent employers.

At NxtStep, we know that the competition for early talent is fierce, so understanding who our target audience is critical. We offer top-of-the-line employer branding advice to help employers attract the market’s best talent. We not only advise on the latest advertising trends, but create and deploy fully-realised social media marketing campaigns to help our clients reach their target audience. We will help you generate content that resonates with students while advertising on the platforms that they are already using.

On the flip side, we provide expert recruitment advice to students all over the country. Our advice is relevant, current, and tailored to what the market expects from them - no copy and paste templates from 1999. We believe that knowledge is power, so we made it our mission to share our own experience as graduate recruiters, and to provide students with the necessary tools to succeed in their journey towards professional success.

We pride ourselves in having the best interest in mind for both students and early talent employers in New Zealand. More informed students mean better talent in the workplace and more informed employers mean better employee experience - it’s a win-win.
