Product walkthrough

See the Inspector in action.

Watch a quick check on a supported job page—from the first click to the evidence behind the result.

16-second walkthrough · Real extension, real pages

One deliberate check

Useful evidence, without leaving the job page.

The extension waits for you. No background scraping, bulk lookup or automatic call happens on page load.

  1. On the page

    Find a role or company

    Browse supported LinkedIn company and job pages, or SEEK NZ jobs and company profiles as usual.

  2. Your choice

    Click one clear control

    Select “Check NZ accreditation”. A check may make at most one live request to INZ.

  3. In context

    Read the result and its source

    See the legal employer, NZBN, expiry, last verification and how the page was matched.

Built for the messy middle

Company names rarely line up perfectly.

A trading name on a job ad can differ from the legal employer published by INZ. The Inspector resolves only known associations and exact official names, then lets you search manually when the names differ.

  • Exact legal-name matches are labelled as automatic
  • Partial and similar names are not automatic candidates
  • Manual keyword results require your explicit choice

Use this employer

Legal employer records are official INZ data. This platform association is community data.

Provenance over promises

Four kinds of evidence. Never blurred together.

Accreditation and identity matching answer different questions. The interface keeps their source and confidence visible.

Official fact

Accreditation

Employer name, NZBN, expiry date and verification time come from Immigration New Zealand.

Source · INZ
Derived match

Exact INZ name

An official employer can be selected only when one NZBN’s normalised employer or trading name exactly matches the page.

Source · Worker-derived
Community context

Platform association

People can confirm which NZBN belongs to a LinkedIn company or SEEK advertiser—and change it later.

Source · Extension users
Time-bound evidence

No published match

A name lookup with no result currently lasts seven days. It is never presented as proof of non-accreditation.

Source · INZ lookup

Small by design

No account data. No mystery checks.

01

Explicit user action

INZ is contacted only after a click, never automatically when a page loads.

02

Installation identity only

A random UUID is stored locally and hashed by the API. It is not derived from LinkedIn or SEEK account data.

03

Open implementation

The extension, Worker, D1 schema, API contract and tests are available in the public repository.

Good to know

Straight answers.

Does the extension decide whether I can get a visa?

No. It displays published employer accreditation data and matching context. It is not immigration or legal advice.

Where does accreditation data come from?

Employer names, NZBNs and accreditation expiry dates come from Immigration New Zealand. The API records when it accepted that data.

Why can a result require confirmation?

A live INZ lookup, duplicated exact name, or community tie may produce several legal employers. The extension asks you to choose instead of silently selecting one.

Is this an official Immigration New Zealand product?

No. It is an independent open-source project that links back to the official INZ accredited employer list.
