Posting a job advert on Seek
You can post a standout job to Seek via the Recruitment module. There are two ways to get started — choose whichever suits you. A prerequisite you will need to complete first is setting up your Seek integration.
Helpful Hint
We base the Duration field on the first time the job ad was posted, not when it gets reposted. We will automatically populate the Duration field when reposting a role based on the original duration selected on the original posting.
- Click the Recruitment menu.
- Click the Jobs tab.
-
Choose one of the following two paths to reach the Seek posting screen:
Option A — via Edit Job Details:- Click the button next to the job.
- Click Edit Job Details.
- Click the Adverts tab.
- Click the Post to Job Boards button.
Option B — via Promote Job:- Open the job by clicking on its name.
- Click the button.
- Select Promote Job.
- Select the Seek option and click the Continue button.
-
You will be taken to the Additional Information page for Seek. Complete all required fields organised into the following sections:
- Duration - Select how long the job will be advertised
- Location - Specify the job location details
- Industry - Choose the relevant industry category
- Employment conditions - Provide details about the role type and conditions
- Additional requirements - Add any other Seek-specific information
What's new?
The Additional Information page has been redesigned to make posting to Seek easier. Fields are now organised into clear sections, and many details you've already entered during job creation will be automatically pre-filled. Required fields are clearly marked, and you'll see a status indicator showing when your job is ready to post (e.g., "1/1 boards ready to post").
- Once all required fields are complete, select the StandOut tile from the Advertisement Type list if you want enhanced visibility for your job ad.
-
Review all information and click the Publish button.
Helpful Hint
If you've set up Screening Questions in the main job, a toggle button lets you enable them in Seek. Turning this on automatically syncs all questions — however, preferred answers do not currently sync. You'll need to re-enable these manually under each applicable question (see screenshot below) if you want that data to sync back from Seek into recruitment.
If you choose not to enable screening questions in the Seek integration, candidates who apply via Seek will trigger an automatic email from Employment Hero containing the screening questions from the job ad. This gives you the flexibility to have candidates answer questions directly in Seek, or receive them separately via email.
