We’ve made your recruitment process simpler than ever.
Employers have been using our bespoke platform to streamline their recruitment process since 2006. It’s a one stop shop where you can discover a diverse pool of thousands of highly skilled tech students and graduates from 28+ tertiaries across Aotearoa.
With all the essential information at your fingertips, easily find candidates equipped with practical skills in software development, cyber security, design, and more.
No more waiting for them to find you — go directly to them.
The platform is a one-stop shop.
Traditional recruitment approaches require a lot of work; managing listings across multiple job boards, and travelling to multiple university career fairs is exhausting. We believe the thriving tech industry here in New Zealand deserves a more innovative, supportive, and time-saving approach to recruitment.
Imagine going to one platform to get everything you need when it comes to finding the perfect candidate for your role. Well, you can stop imagining because it’s right here at Summer of Tech.

Better return on investment for your time
“We found the Summer of Tech platform and programme to be an excellent investment. The platform itself was user-friendly and provided a great amount of detail when we were shortlisting candidates for our internships, and the database of highly skilled candidates was truly impressive. The consistent support from Kate made the whole process a breeze. The 2024 internship was a huge success for us, and we look forward to continuing our support.”
— Abbey Carter, Search Business Partner at CCL
“By using the Summer of Tech platform, we went from having to worry about multiple different software and services to having a centralised platform. For us, one of the biggest changes we saw was being able to see a list of candidates and proactively mark candidates who we felt might be worth reaching out to, as opposed to the traditional approach of listing a job ad and hoping for applications.”
— James Ing, Technical Lead at Landkind
“For Trade Me, it has been a great way to identify and cultivate talent, and we have a number of students each year who decide to stay on with us.”
— Paul McGrath, Hiring Manager at Trade Me
