SEEK Jobs - Job Search 4+

Been using seek for 20 years

Back in 2003 I started using seek, back in those days I could still walk into a workplace, talk to the boss directly and negotiate a start day with them. Those days are mostly gone now but seek is a good tool for seeing what work is out there, what the pay is likely to be and how many roles are advertised in a particular area.
As far as getting a job directly from seek? I’ve got to interview stage many times and have used seek to apply for jobs that I knew people who worked there already and seek was just the facilitation tool to get the job… so overall it’s been good to me but I still suggest using it in addition to lots of other job hustling tactics.

No feed back

Seek. How do I explain, iv apply for over 300 jobs and you are supposed to be the number 1 web site for jobs. The recruitment agency are so disrespectful. You are at a low as it is with finding a job to keep your family afloat and I’ve only had one interview walking away feeling even lower. You say at the top in your headlines that you possibly could be a good candidate for this job and recruitment come back say “ you don’t fit the criteria” but my resume fit the criteria of the job, I get told to down grade my resume as I’m a threat to the business and I’ll never get a job cause I’m to over qualified but I have that experience in what the business are looking for. I think recruitment agency pick and choose who they want which is unacceptable behaviour from a agency. why isn’t Seek CEO looking into this. Jobs in Brisbane on FB, everyone is saying that recruitments are the devil work. They don’t do their job. They don’t get hold of your referees when they say they will. They never ring back when they say they will. Their Is a lot of discrimination against race. (Male/female). Please seek look into this ask I’ve even put a request into 7 news

The app developers of Seek should be unemployed

Wow, I wrote the below review over 5 years ago, and still nothing has changed.
I came here tonight to say I updated the app because all my saved searches were gone. What a surprise to see the app was updated 3 days ago. I went ahead and updated it, and still no saved searches. Come on guys, be better.

Despite having emailed with user support many, many times, there are still time wasting nuances that the seek apps loves to throw at you. I don’t even remember the last time that RECOMMENDED JOBS actually recommended a job which was in my requested salary range. I find a recommended job which may be cool, I run a search for the name of the company. Then I search again, this time narrowing the salary range. Then, when it’s still there, I narro again, and again, until bang, it’s 10k short of the cheese I’m looking for. Also if I search for ADELAIDE jobs, I don’t care what you think may entice me interstate to try, I just want local jobs, is it that freaking hard? Losers.
