Jobs Online

Each have a dedicated customer base with Seek and CareerOne now boasting job numbers in excess of 60,000 each, and MyCareer closely on their heals. The sites are self explanatory and easy to navigate, all three have dedicated executive areas as well as specialist industry breakdowns such as Accountancy, Engineering, Marketing, Insurance, etc.

In addition to the "Big 3", there are several national sites that may also benefit your search:

We would estimate that the sites listed have a total coverage of 85% of the online employment site market (job boards).


IMPORTANT NOTE - Don't be caught out...

Are all job adverts real?
It is a well known fact (although none will admit to this) that not all advertisements are real, so take some of the recruitment agency jobs with a pinch of salt.

Keep seeing the same old jobs?
Recruitment agencies love job boards and regularly re-post old jobs to show as a new entry ! This is something you will need to get used to so make sure you make a note of the job reference before you apply

Create an email alert
Most of the sites listed have an automated job email alert system, meaning you'll only need to log in once, and then sit back and let the jobs come to you.
