Enhancing Employee Recruitment and Retention with Zeil
Finding the right people — and keeping them — is one of the biggest challenges facing employers today. At Workride, we’ve always believed that a great commute can be the difference between an okay job and one that people genuinely love showing up to. That’s why we’re thrilled to see platforms like Zeil not just disrupting the job search space in New Zealand, but also actively helping people find roles that match their values and lifestyles.
Zeil isn’t your typical job board. It’s designed to work the way people actually job hunt — with clean design, smart recommendations, and a swipe-to-apply interface that feels more like a social app than a job market. But beyond the UX, what really excites us is their growing focus on what makes a workplace work — things like inclusivity, purpose, and yes, sustainable commuting.
That’s where Workride comes in. Zeil now lets job seekers filter for companies offering Workride benefits. That means candidates can quickly spot roles where biking to work, catching public transport, or even scooting in style isn’t just supported — it’s incentivised.
“It is a no brainer to have Workride integrated into Zeil — it means job seekers can now easily find roles with employers who actually care about things like bike benefits and making the daily commute easier. It’s a win for candidates looking for lifestyle-aligned jobs and a huge plus for businesses wanting to stand out to top talent.”

We couldn’t agree more.
In a tight talent market, it’s not enough to offer a desk and a paycheck. Candidates want flexibility, values, and convenience. And when job seekers are looking for that perfect match, partnerships like Zeil x Workride make it easier to connect the dots — and the people.
Since launching at the end of 2023, ZEIL has become one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing job platforms, with over 150,000 app downloads, 8 million job views, and more than 2,500 employers already onboard. ZEIL is proudly values-led, with over 30% of its user base identifying as Māori or Pacifica, a reflection of its mission to build a more inclusive, accessible job market for all Kiwis.
Simultaneously, Workride has been revolutionizing commuting by partnering with over 1,000 employers across New Zealand, enabling employees to acquire bikes, e-bikes, or scooters with cost offsets ranging from 32% to 63% from the quoted price. This initiative not only promotes healthier lifestyles but also supports environmental sustainability.
Given our aligned missions and impressive growth trajectories, a partnership between Zeil and Workride was a natural progression, poised to further enhance their impact on New Zealand's employment and commuting landscapes.
