Job board in Australia: The top 5

Due to the popularity of our articles featuring the most popular job boards in different countries, we decided to bring you some more of our “how to recruit” advice.

As we all know, the internet is a great tool for both recruiters and job seekers. Thanks to job boards, recruiters can find qualified candidates more easily and jobseekers can gain easy access to job listings. They can improve their interview skills and research career development strategies.

According to SimilarWeb rankings, these are 5 of the best job and career sites for working professionals in Australia:

#5: Job boardAdzuna

With 988 000 visits in January 2016, Adzuna is ranked number 5. This website was created in 2011 in the UK and was released officially in Australia in 2013.

It’s basically a search engine for job adverts. It aggregates information from a huge array of job boards, classifieds, social networks and other sources from across the web to bring users relevant search results.

It was founded by Andrew Hunter and Doug Monro, who worked together for Gumtree, the famous UK classifieds and community website.

#4: Job board Careerone

With 2.40 million visits in January 2016, CareerOne is ranked number 4. CareerOne was established in 1999. It is a joint venture company between Australia’s biggest publisher News Corp Australia and the global employment platform Monster Worldwide.

This website offers visitors a unique job hunting experience and innovative corporate solutions for candidate sourcing, talent management, and employer branding.

It is a very comprehensive website because it goes beyond providing job adverts. It also offers advice for CV and resume writing. Users are also able to browse through career advice and online courses.

#3: Jora.com

Jora.com – formerly known as Jobseeker – had 5.10 million visits last January. With over 250,000 jobs sourced directly from job boards like SEEK, company websites and industry associations, Jora is number 3 according to SimilarWeb.

#2: Job board Indeed.com

Not surprisingly, Indeed.com appears in a good position in the ranking.

Indeed.com was the second most visited site in 2015. The reason for its success is that it is one of the most efficient sites for surveying job listings: it aggregates information from job boards, news sites and company listings.

Also, it has many advanced search functions that make the website very user friendly.

#1: Job board Seek

Without any doubt, SEEK is the number 1 website. It is far ahead of the competition and it won’t be giving up its leading position in the near future.
