Pedestrian Jobs

Review:

Pedestrian Jobs is a niche job board for the media industry in Australia. The site offers one base price for job ads, and employers can add optional upgrades, such as social media promotion, for increased exposure. Overall, Pedestrian Jobs is competitively priced, but there are more affordable options, such as Grapevine Jobs and Mumbrella Jobs.

Employers can also opt for job posting bundles, which offer better value than a one-off single job posting purchase. While the site offers a great way to reach a niche audience in the local media landscape, it lacks more advanced hiring tools, such as a searchable resume database and candidate matching.

Pros:

• The niche platform reaches more than 1 million candidates.
• The site offers single and bundle job posting plans.
• A range of add-on features, including social media and job alert promotion, are available.
• Employers can upload their company logo.
• Pedestrian Jobs has been used by reputable companies, including Omnicom, MTV Networks, Merivale, Sydney Opera House, and NOVA 96.9.

Cons:

• There is no free job posting option.
• The site lacks a searchable resume database and candidate matching.
