Review:

VelvetJobs lists jobs across a variety of industries, including the fashion, entertainment, media, and finance sectors. The site offers a range of career services for job seekers and a selection of recruitment tools for employers, including job postings, candidate searches, and employer branding, but lacks a free job posting plan.

The site gives Australian employers access to an extensive international talent pool and features a convenient online dashboard and company profiles. While it may be a good option for attracting international candidates, there are better alternatives, such as ScreenHub and Pedestrian Jobs, for sourcing local candidates.

Pros:

  • Subscriptions for single and multiple job slots are available.
  • Employers can make use of a seven-day free trial.
  • Jobs are distributed to multiple job boards.
  • Employers can create a detailed careers page.
  • The site features a searchable candidate database.
  • Employer branding services are available.
  • The site offers outplacement services.

Cons:

  • There is no free job posting plan — only a free trial.
  • The site does not offer job post upgrades to feature listings or promote them on social media.
  • There are no local customer support channels or features tailored to an Australian audience.
  • Pricing is only listed in U.S. dollars.

Reputation:

VelvetJobs received a score of 4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, based on more than 130 reviews. While most feedback is from job seekers satisfied with the platform's services, some employers also reported positive customer service experiences and praised the extensive talent pool the site provides access to.

VelvetJobs vs. ScreenHub:

With a starting price of US$39.99 per month, VelvetJobs is more affordable than ScreenHub, which charges A$181.50 for a single job post. While the latter may offer a better local reach, VelvetJobs gives Australian employers access to an extensive international talent pool. However, ScreenHub stands out with premium and featured listing options.

VelvetJobs vs. Pedestrian Jobs:

Pedestrian Jobs lists media-related opportunities across Australia, whereas VelvetJobs posts jobs across the globe in several industries, including media, entertainment, and finance. The latter is the more affordable option, with pricing starting at US$39.99 per month, compared to PedestrianJobs' A$99.00 +GST per post.

VelvetJobs vs. Grapevine Jobs:

Grapevine Jobs offers free and paid job posting plans, with pricing starting at A$90.00 +GST per post, whereas VelvetJobs only offers a free seven-day trial and plans starting at US$39.99 per month. The latter has a broader reach across several industries and countries, while Grapevine Jobs is focused on the local film and media industries.
