SEEK Jobs - Job Search 4+

Going nowhere

Seek looks the same with no new features and benefits, the way it was 5 years - tired and boring. They never demand salary ranges from advertisers so if you have an alert for a role $150-$200k a year, you will still get emailed vacancies for hairdressers who haven’t specified a salary. The whole search criteria is outdated and even search options (that people want today) such as volunteer leave, hybrid/remote or working from home, or vaccination status aren’t selectable. Seek is just tired, outdated and has no competition who want to take them on.

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

Lacks basic features

Lacks features that are expected as standard for professional app developers, like multitasking support on iPadOS or widget options.

There are some differences between the full desktop web version and the app, which shows that it’s not just a simple reskin of the browser version. This just makes it more disappointing and more clear that very little thought went into the design of the app experience.

Also seems to not have all the search filtering results that the browser app provides. I understand hiding the less-used ones to declutter and make it easier for the user, but at least having the option hidden behind “advanced search” or something would be much better. I find myself switching out of the app to use the web browser a few times per day.
