Review:
Rigzone is a global job posting site for the oil and gas industry. Their candidate database spans professionals in offshore, onshore, office-based, and field-based positions, from entry-level to executives, as well as business-support staff. The platform features Australian oil and gas industry news.
However, despite Rigzone's dedicated Australian jobs page, job posting packages are only available in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, ad boosting and employer branding are only available with the larger bulk packages. There are also some mixed comments on Reddit about the usefulness of Rigzone.

Rigzone vs. MiningOilandGasJobs.com:
Like Rigzone, MiningOilandGasJobs.com is a global job board for the oil and gas industry. However, while users can filter their job searches by location, MiningOilandGasJobs.com doesn't have the same dedicated pages that Rigzone offers, particularly for news blogs. On the other hand, MiningOilandGasJobs.com is far more affordable than Rigzone.
Rigzone vs. SEEK:
Unlike Rigzone, SEEK is a general job board that caters to the Australian workforce and is not limited to a particular niche. Rigzone's pricing is in U.S. dollars, and starts at US$550.00, whereas SEEK offers variable pricing based on job title and location. However, Rigzone does feature oil and gas industry news specific to Australia.
Rigzone vs. Jobs in Construction:
Unlike Rigzone, Jobs in Construction is a local Australian job board powered by uWorkin. While the site primarily targets tradespeople and professionals in the construction industry, it includes a search filter for jobs in the mining, oil, and gas sector. Jobs in Construction is more affordable than Rigzone and offers better access to local talent.
