About GradConnection New Zealand

GradConnection New Zealand is a graduate marketing website that is based in Wellington, New Zealand. The New Zealand operations are run by Robert Milne and Tim Watts, two former Big 4 accountants.

The goal of GradConnection New Zealand is to provide existing students and graduates a place to research and compare the different employment opportunities that are available to them on the completion of their studies.


GradConnection was originally founded by three kiwi's living in Australia in June 2008 and expanded to New Zealand in July 2009.

GradConnection's GradMaker

GradMaker is GradConnection's main online product. The GradMaker allows students to input their graduate employer preferences and then ranks the different employers in the GradMaker based on these choices.

GradConnections Other Services

We also run the Graduate Forums (both in New Zealand and Australia) where graduates and students can interact with each other, discuss opportunities, give advise and also ask us questions.

GradConnections first product was the Graduate Resume Builder, which helps graduates to build their resume, giving the structure that we think is perfect for applying for a graduate role.
