Broadbean vs. JobAdder:

Broadbean and JobAdder both feature job distribution to multiple job posting sites as one of their key services. Similarities between the two platforms include a mobile app, recruitment analytics, and local customer support. However, JobAdder also offers background screening, interview management, and a self-service portal, unlike Broadbean.

Broadbean vs. SEEK:

SEEK is a very prominent job board in Australia that caters exclusively to the local job market, receiving some 26 million site visits each month. Both platforms feature a comprehensive resume database, however, SEEK lacks the software integration and international audience that Broadbean features.

Broadbean vs. Workforce Australia:

Workforce Australia is a job board that was created by the Australian government. While the platform does offer a mobile job seeker app, like Broadbean, it lacks the candidate management tools and applicant tracking system integration that Broadbean offers. However, Workforce Australia does offer its job posting services for free.
