About our use of government information
We link to publicly accessible official resources and write our own career advice. We have requested access to the separate Tāhatu occupations API but have not integrated or reproduced that dataset. If access is granted, future features will follow the API agreement and source-attribution requirements. We do not represent Tāhatu or TEC, and neither endorses ManyJobs.
