Pricing Comparison:

Indeed

SEEK

Variable pricing that is based on multiple factors.

From A$5.00 +GST /post.

From A$245.00 +GST /post.

CV database access from A$30.00 +GST /mo. or A$288.00 +GST /yr.

Premium talent search credit packs from A$3,000.00 +GST.

Bottomline:

Both platforms have a rich offering, including a resume database, featured job postings, and a range of hiring tools. Indeed is the more cost-effective of the two, with both a free plan and pay-per-click pricing that permits a low minimum budget. While Indeed attracts more traffic globally, SEEK has the upper hand when it comes to local traffic.

As Australia's largest, home-grown career site, SEEK is a well-established and trusted local brand that offers employers great local reach. While SEEK does not offer a free plan, it does offer to write and post job ads for employers, which Indeed does not offer. Both sites have their merits, but ultimately Indeed offers more value for less.

FAQs:

Are SEEK and Indeed the same?

No. While the two platforms are different and operated by separate companies, they offer many similar features, such as standard and featured postings, access to a resume database, candidate management tools, and employer reviews.

Is SEEK or Indeed more affordable?

Unlike SEEK, Indeed allows employers to post jobs for free, making it the more affordable of the two job sites.
