Frequently asked questions
Cancel Jobhero: The Right Way
How to cancel JobHero and reclaim your money in new zealand
What JobHero is and why you might cancel
JobHero is an online platform that helps you build professional resumes, cover letters, and job application materials using artificial intelligence-powered templates and suggestions. The service targets job seekers who want to create polished application documents quickly without hiring a professional editor.
You access JobHero through a web application or mobile apps. Your account setup determines where you manage your subscription and billing. Some accounts are managed directly through JobHero, while others are tied to the Employment Hero platform. Understanding your account type is the first step toward cancelling without friction.
When cancelling makes sense
You might cancel JobHero if you have completed your job applications, secured employment, found the service less useful than expected, or simply want to reduce your monthly expenses. Whatever your reason, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process without pressure or hidden fees.
Why yafee helps you cancel smoothly
At Yafee (yafee.com), we specialise in helping New Zealand consumers navigate subscription cancellations and assert their rights under consumer law. We understand that cancelling online services can feel confusing, especially when companies make the process deliberately difficult. This guide cuts through the confusion and empowers you to cancel JobHero on your terms.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
Before you cancel, know your legal protections. New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 apply to online services like JobHero, giving you powerful remedies if the service fails to meet reasonable standards or does not match its description.
The 14-day cooling-off period
If you subscribed to JobHero within the last 14 days and the service has not been fully delivered, you may have a right to cancel and receive a full refund. This protection applies under consumer protection rules even if JobHero's terms and conditions do not explicitly mention it. Check your purchase date on your invoice or payment confirmation email.
Your legal position: The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 grants you a 14-day cancellation right for distance contracts (online purchases). JobHero cannot contract out of this protection. If you fall within this window, you hold a statutory right to cancel regardless of the company's policy.
Defective service and the consumer guarantees act
If JobHero fails to deliver services with reasonable care, does not match its advertised features, or becomes unusable, you are entitled to a refund or replacement under the Consumer Guarantees Act. You do not need to accept poor service simply because you are outside the cooling-off window. Yafee recommends documenting any service failures (screenshots, error messages, date and time) before contacting support to strengthen your case.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If JobHero refuses to honour your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection authority. The Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act. Yafee advises keeping all correspondence with JobHero support before making a complaint to the Commission.
Cancellation methods for JobHero accounts
Your cancellation path depends on how you set up your account. Identify your account type, then follow the steps that match your situation.
Cancel through the employment hero platform
If your JobHero subscription is managed via Employment Hero (common if you signed up through an employer or employment services), you will cancel from your Employment Hero account settings.
- Go to employmenthero.com and log in with your username and password.
- Navigate to Settings in the main menu.
- Select Subscriptions and Billings or My Products.
- Locate the JobHero subscription and click Update next to "Request to change or cancel a subscription".
- Choose Request to Cancel Subscription.
- Select a cancellation reason from the dropdown menu (your feedback helps improve the service).
- Submit your cancellation request.
- An Employment Hero support representative will contact you within 1-2 business days to finalise the cancellation.
- Be prepared to confirm your intent and discuss your reason for leaving.
- Ask for written confirmation of your cancellation date and any refund entitlement.
Pro tip: Keep the cancellation request email for your records. If the representative tries to upsell you a different plan or retention offer, remain firm on your decision. You have the statutory right to cancel.
Cancel a direct JobHero account
If you signed up directly with JobHero (not via Employment Hero), you will manage your cancellation through your JobHero account settings or by contacting JobHero support via email.
- Log in to your JobHero account at jobhero.com.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Settings (usually found in the top-right menu under your profile icon).
- Select Billing or Subscription Management.
- Locate your active subscription and click Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription.
- You may see a retention offer or discount. You are not obligated to accept it.
- If no self-service cancellation button appears, proceed to the email method below.
- If prompted, select a reason for cancellation (this is not required but helpful for Yafee's tracking of service issues).
- Confirm your cancellation. JobHero will send you a confirmation email.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
- Verify that your next billing date has been removed.
Cancel by contacting JobHero support
If the self-service cancellation option is not available or you prefer to cancel in writing, email JobHero support directly. A written record strengthens your position under consumer law.
- Compose an email to JobHero support (check their website for the current support email address; it is usually [email protected] or [email protected]).
- Include the following information in your email:
- Your full name and registered email address on the JobHero account.
- Your JobHero account ID or username.
- The subscription plan you wish to cancel (e.g., "JobHero Premium Monthly").
- Your requested cancellation date (state "immediately" if you wish to cancel with effect from today).
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my JobHero subscription effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation and any refund details in writing."
- If you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period, state: "This cancellation is made within 14 days of my purchase. I request a full refund in accordance with the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993."
- Send the email using a read-receipt or delivery confirmation method.
- Expect a response within 3-5 business days. If JobHero does not respond, follow up with a second email citing your original message.
- Keep all email correspondence on file.
- If JobHero refuses to cancel or withholds a refund you believe you are entitled to, you have evidence for escalation to the Commerce Commission.
- Yafee advises taking screenshots of all support responses for your records.
Understanding JobHero pricing and refund eligibility
Your refund entitlement depends on your subscription plan, cancellation timing, and whether you fall within the consumer protection windows outlined above.
| Subscription plan | Typical billing cycle | Refund window | Refund if cancelled outside 14 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| JobHero free trial | Not applicable | No charge | No refund required |
| JobHero monthly | Monthly (NZD $9.99-$19.99 approx.) | 14 days from purchase | No refund, unless service defective |
| JobHero annual | Annual (NZD $99-$199 approx.) | 14 days from purchase | Pro-rata refund or defective service claim |
| JobHero via Employment Hero | Varies by employer plan | 14 days + employer policy | Employer or platform policy applies |
The figures above are indicative. Check your invoice for exact pricing. Annual plans often entitle you to a pro-rata refund (refund for unused months) even outside the 14-day window if you can demonstrate the service is defective or has not met reasonable fitness for purpose.
Refund timelines and payment method recovery
Once JobHero processes your cancellation, the refund timeline depends on your original payment method.
Credit or debit card refunds
JobHero will initiate the refund to your original card. Your bank processes the credit, typically within 3-5 business days. Some banks may take up to 10 business days. Yafee recommends checking your bank statement rather than relying on JobHero's promise date. If the refund does not appear after 10 business days, contact your bank and ask for a refund trace using the transaction reference from your original JobHero invoice.
Digital wallet and alternative payment refunds
If you paid via PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or another digital wallet, the refund goes back to that wallet or your linked account. Expect the same 3-10 business day window. Digital wallets often display the pending refund within 1-2 days, even if your bank takes longer to settle the credit.
What to do if your refund does not arrive
After 10 business days, contact JobHero support with your cancellation confirmation and invoice. Yafee advises referencing your original payment method and requesting a refund status update. If JobHero does not respond within 5 business days or claims the refund was issued but you have not received it, contact your bank or digital wallet provider to trace the payment. Keep all correspondence as evidence if you need to escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small missteps can delay your refund or leave you without proof of cancellation. Here are the pitfalls Yafee sees most often.
Mistake 1: cancelling only via customer support chat, not in writing
Chat or phone cancellations leave you without a time-stamped record. If JobHero later claims you never cancelled, you have no proof. Always send a cancellation email to support and keep the response.
Mistake 2: not checking your billing date before cancelling
If you cancel the day before your renewal, JobHero may still charge you for the next month. Yafee recommends cancelling at least 3 days before your renewal date to allow processing time. You can find your renewal date in your account settings under "Billing" or "Subscription".
Mistake 3: assuming "pause" or "suspend" is the same as "cancel"
Some platforms offer a pause option that temporarily stops billing but keeps your account active. If you truly want to leave, select "Cancel" not "Pause". Paused subscriptions can resume automatically and charge you without warning.
Mistake 4: not requesting written confirmation of refund eligibility
When you email JobHero support, ask them to confirm in writing whether your refund is covered by the 14-day cooling-off period or a service defect claim. This protects you if a dispute arises. Yafee advises printing and storing this confirmation.
Mistake 5: ignoring the retention offer
JobHero may offer a discount to keep you. You are not obligated to accept. State clearly: "I wish to cancel my subscription, not downgrade it." If you accidentally downgrade instead of cancelling, contact support immediately to reverse the change and complete the cancellation.
What happens after your JobHero cancellation
Cancellation is complete, but a few tasks remain to protect your interests and ensure a clean break from the service.
Verify your access has been removed
Log in to JobHero 1-2 days after your cancellation is confirmed. You should no longer have access to premium features. If you can still create documents or access templates you paid for, contact JobHero support and state that cancellation has not taken effect as promised.
Check for hidden charges
Monitor your bank account or credit card statement for 30 days after cancellation. Some services attempt to re-bill after a cancellation if they claim a technical error or unprocessed transaction. If an unexpected charge appears, dispute it immediately with your bank. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of the charge and attaching it to your dispute with your bank.
Delete your personal data if required
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you may request that JobHero delete your personal information. Send an email to their support address with the subject line "Data Deletion Request". JobHero must respond within 20 working days. They may retain minimal data for accounting or legal compliance, but they cannot use it to contact you for marketing after cancellation.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails
Even after cancellation, JobHero may continue to send you marketing emails. Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email to remove yourself from their mailing list. If emails continue, forward one to their support address with a note: "I have unsubscribed and cancelled my account. Please remove my email address from all marketing communications."
If JobHero refuses to cancel or denies your refund
You have statutory remedies if JobHero breaches your consumer rights under New Zealand law.
Step 1: escalate within JobHero
If first-level support refuses your cancellation or refund, ask to speak with a manager or escalations team. Send a formal email stating: "I am requesting escalation of my cancellation request to the management team. I believe JobHero has breached my consumer rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Please provide the name and contact details of a supervisor."
Step 2: lodge a complaint with the commerce commission
If JobHero does not resolve the matter within 10 business days, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (the New Zealand regulator for consumer protection). You can do this online at www.comcom.govt.nz or by phoning 0800 943 600. Yafee advises providing the Commission with copies of all emails, your cancellation proof, and your refund claim. The Commission will investigate free of charge.
Step 3: pursue a small claims process or escalate further
If your refund amount is below NZD $15,000, you may pursue a dispute through the District Court or a fast-track alternative dispute resolution (ADR) scheme. However, attempt the Commerce Commission route first, as it is free and often faster. Yafee can help you gather evidence and draft your complaint to the Commission if needed.
