SEEK.com.au is Australia's largest job board with over 90% share of online job advertising spend among medium to large Australian employers. Getting your SEEK AU strategy right is essential for any serious AU job search in 2026.

Complete Your SEEK AU Profile

A fully complete SEEK profile receives significantly more recruiter views than a partial one. SEEK provides a profile completeness score — aim for 100%. Ensure you have: a profile summary (3–4 sentences), complete work history with descriptions and achievements, education, skills, salary expectations, and a current resume upload.

Keywords in Your SEEK Profile

SEEK's search algorithm matches recruiter searches against your profile and resume. Include your target job title prominently in your headline and summary. List technical skills and certifications explicitly — recruiters search these directly. Use the exact terminology used in AU job descriptions for your field.

Salary Preferences on SEEK AU

Setting a realistic salary range in your SEEK preferences helps recruiters find you for appropriately paid roles. Research current market rates for your role in your Australian city (SEEK Salary Insights is a useful tool) and set your range accordingly.

Apply Fast on SEEK AU

Similar to NZ, the first 10–20% of applicants for any AU role receive the majority of interview invitations. Set your job alerts to email immediately rather than daily digest, and apply the same day a relevant role is posted.

AU SEEK tip: Many SEEK AU listings allow you to apply with your SEEK profile rather than uploading a CV. While convenient, a specifically tailored resume that matches the job description always outperforms a generic SEEK profile application for competitive roles.
