Navigate your path to a rewarding career in tech

Equip yourself with the knowledge and tools to showcase your unique skill set in a way that resonates with your prospective employer.

BeHeard Aotearoa is on a mission to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive Kiwi tech sector, where there is equal opportunity to gain meaningful employment and thrive in the workplace, regardless of a person’s background or defining characteristics.

Job Seeker Workshops.

Utilising our combined experience recruiting in the tech sector, we facilitate free workshops that equip you with the knowledge to showcase your unique skill set in a way that resonates with your prospective employers.

Content.

Workshops begin with a presentation from an expert tech recruiter and cover topics such as resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, networking, interview preparation and salary negotiation. Following the presentation we have an “Ask Me Anything” session with a panel of experienced recruiters, hiring managers and interviewers.

Networking.

After the workshop, you will have the opportunity to network with employers within the tech sector who are actively hiring. You'll also be offered a free virtual career coaching session for 1:1 support.

What Job Seekers Are Saying.

  • Braxton Curteis - Community Lead @ Halter

    “I am deeply grateful for the mentorship provided by Sian during my career transition to a new industry. Her tailored guidance, unwavering belief in my potential, and expertise in the recruitment process were instrumental in helping me secure my dream job. I highly recommend Sian to anyone navigating a similar career change or seeking guidance in their professional journey.”

  • Diego Inostroza - Full Stack Developer @ Suncorp

    "The first week I arrived in New Zealand, I attended a BeHeard Aotearoa Job Seeker event where I learned invaluable lessons about how to prepare for interviews in my new country. Furthermore, I had the pleasure of having a 1:1 session with Sian where she gave constructive feedback and practical tips on crafting an exceptional resume and cover letter. Not only did she provide me with professional guidance, but she also extended her network to connect me with potential employers. I am profoundly grateful to Sian for her support during that process, and I really recommend BeHeard to anyone who is seeking a dream job.”

  • Larissa Naidoo - People Development Manager @ Halter

    "I had a great experience working with Sian who recruited me for the perfect role recently. Sian is incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and went above and beyond to keep me informed throughout the process. The best part about Sian is that whilst she is professional she remains human throughout all interactions. I hope to have the privilege of working with Sian in the future."
