After returning to New Zealand following years of work in Security, Corrections, and Immigration Detention, I began exploring various job platforms. Months later, after applying for positions, I found myself unexpectedly locked out of the platform with only an “Error Banana 500” message as notification. After weeks of trying to reach out, I learned I needed to submit a copy of my Passport or Driver's License for identity verification. Hesitant to provide my passport information, I questioned why I was allowed on the platform initially. I clarified that I was job searching, not buying or selling. The reply I received changed the narrative, insisting all users needed to verify their identity. Confused, I read numerous negative reviews and ultimately decided to explore other platforms, where I successfully contacted employers. I share the concerns of others regarding the platform's ethics. My advice to everyone is to look for more reliable platforms and avoid this one entirely.
