Review:

SEEK is a popular job posting site that has been dubbed the number one online employment marketplace in Australia and New Zealand. With SEEK, employers can effortlessly manage their job ads, send personalized messages, invite candidates to apply, and/or search the site's extensive resume database.

SEEK vs. Adzuna:

Adzuna and SEEK are both excellent job boards to help fill jobs fast. However, unlike Adzuna, SEEK is the more popular option in Australia, with its reach including Australia as well as New Zealand. However, compared to SEEK, Adzuna offers the best coverage for those looking to advertise outside of Australia.

SEEK vs. MyJOBSPACE.CO.NZ:

SEEK offers better features and greater exposure than MyJOBSPACE.CO.NZ. Neither platform offers a free job posting option and both feature a resume database and applicant tracking tools. While SEEK's pricing is variable, MyJOBSPACE.CO.NZ offers fixed pricing plans.

SEEK vs. Indeed:

While SEEK and Indeed are both popular in Australia and New Zealand, Indeed has a larger global presence. Both sites feature a range of useful hiring tools and features. However, unlike SEEK, Indeed offers free job postings.

A standard job advert lasts for 30 days, but this can be extended by 30 days multiple times.
