can you add the option to remove a job from view in the app which appear in "SAVED SEARCHES? can you create the option to remove jobs shown based on suburb, remove that Suburb entirely from search results. Even create the option so I can hold "press" on a job to review it from displaying again across the entire app.
this is the worst app ...you applied for thousands of applications but can't even get an answer from employers . it's better to apply on a direct website or contact directly .
Although I am currently working as a cleaner (a job I took on to get me through uni(, I have a uni degree in Business Management which is clearly reflected on my profile and in resume, all the app is offering me is cleaning jobs that no one else wants. App is a waste of time.
a search for exercise physiologist returns 100 results but there is actually only 5. the rest is physiotherapist , gym manager personal training etc..
scam job ads with scam companies with no website or any trace
advertising jobs at under the legal minimum age and when I reported it they said they won't do anything and I would have to report the company to the ombudsman. seek supporting this behaviour is disgusting. be mindful of the postings on the app because there is clearly 0 vetting or care applied
Extremely disappointed with the Seek app as a Papua New Guinean applicant. Despite being Australia's closest neighbour, PNG users face major restrictions when trying to apply for jobs in Australia. Other Southeast Asian countries seem to apply freely, but we get blocked or heavily limited. This makes it nearly impossible for qualified PNG technicians and professionals to even submit applications. Please make the platform fairer and more accessible for our region.
sux
not very good
Forcing email for login is a bad user experience. My password manager is here and ready to sign me in instantly, all it has to do it look at my face to verify its me (1 sec) but instead you're got me leaving the app and open it email and waiting around for a message, then memorising a stupid code and returning to the app to type it, what the hell!? Why can't I have an option to use password? Instead of supporting passcodes, you've opted for a dumb annoying backwards step, nice
Good for searching jobs but completely useless to apply though this app. I have applied for many jobs though this app, but never got interview call. I applied for the same jobs with same resume and cover letters directly to company sites, I got call for interview and got selected. I am sure seek has got some problems while sending applications that sends them directly to garbage by the companies.you may apply through seek if you want to be sick...🤣
I am finding it extremely frustrating to navigate an application process that requires full verification before even allowing me to apply for a role, particularly as I have already completed verification previously. As someone actively trying to improve my circumstances, this added barrier creates unnecessary stress and discouragement. I would greatly appreciate a more streamlined and user-friendly process. I use to already have a certified account I don't know why it changed
takes too long to open. I only want a quick look not take time to go by app
currently been getting qlot of "we cant load this right now, we are working on fixing this" for a few weeks now
seek doesn't need an app. the website is fine. better even, as you can have tabs and windows and all the other benefits of the web.
not working
They wants to apply from the other country, but this app don't show the option to register with seek pass. Beyond this this is the 2354th application. Even single response I didn't received from the employer. and this app not even allowing the profile without seek pass
applied rang had interview keep advertising no reply
seek pass cant add Hoist licence as is not under nz licences, its under australia tho🤦
App doesn't work/load jobs. if you are going to have your garbage app not working, don't then have your website repeated force your trash fire of an app to open instead of working separately, uninstalled for incompetence, since you forced me to.
ok iv verified my credentials 4 times now and still says I need verification to work 4FS... going by ppls reviews it should say 90% of ppl give 1⭐️ & 5% giving 5⭐️ 4% saying between 2-4⭐️ its absolutely waist of time no actual help desk either DO NOT RECOMMEND -5⭐️
Can't load my account
Crashes constantly, can't save items many bugs apparent. Website continually forces use of the app which doesn't work as good as through browser. Do better !!!
I tried to use this job site to find work abroad with companies that offer visas. Waste of time. There aren't any.
Annoying. I just wanted to look up jobs on the website and it nagged me to download this to be able to look up jobs. So I downloaded it to rate it 1 star. Force an app on me, earn one star for being g annoying.
I want to delete a Saved Search. I tap on the 3 vertical dots, select 'delete saved search'. The 'delete' bubble stays open, I see in the background the search has gone, but the app freezes. I have to force close and re-open the app. Searching for jobs using the 'Where' option. For a few weeks recently there was an range list of options - eg exact location, 2km, 5km, etc. That's gone, it's been replaced by the app's own range programming which produces too many results in suburbs I don't want.
still no job
full of bot listings that collect data and auto filter or lead to an external site that does the same. i have been flooded with spam emails since applying. unless you are looking for specialist listings and already have experience you should just try for McDonald's.
couldn't even get signed in. it kept adking me to select my "town or suburb" but had nothing even close.
I'm fed up of daily receiving notifications that this looks like your fit dream job, and getting rejected or not heard at all consistently.
Unusable, happens on both the app and my pc I try to log in, it tells me that a secure code will be sent, nothing arrives, I've emailed support a number of times and had zero response, this is a email and password I've used for a number of years now, unable to access the uploaded cv's or track job applications.
I've been trying to get a job all year and this damn app keeps giving me job offers in Asia. I'm Australian and specify with each search
Not being able to search by distance, when you can on the website is crazy
Whats going on...? Haven't been able to access and edit my profile all day. At one stage could not even access job search. App is up to date etc.. also hearing applications are failing to send to employers from many users.
Its okay for browsing jobs, the website is still better though. Getting constant notifications for totally unsuitable jobs is really annoying. Seems like it's just matching keywords so maybe only 1 in 6 recommended jobs are actually for my trade.
I don't get it. What's the point in showing jobs 10 days old,20 days old in the home screen. First, why keep jobs more than 15 to 20 days old. whoever designed it or not bothered to even look at it and rectify, great thinking. Seek has become so useless since couple of years, yes I do use it. but search is useless, recommending older jobs is so misleading.
Cannot login through Facebook. Tried a few times but when press continue then it will come out error. Any way to solve this? Thanks
app seems to be down every other day. however there is a wide range of jobs
Helps getting jobs but searching it hard,you type in a specific job but the results would be random.
pretty good but they need to add a "hide job" feature because I'm sick of seeing the exact same jobs I don't want to apply to, also using keywords is practically useless, you search "entry level" and it shows you "lead" or "manager" you say "no degree/no qualifications and no experience" and it shows you stuff that requires a bachelors' or even a PhD and needs 5-10 years of experience, and the "recommended jobs" section is useless
🥰
When I type "coral reef" into the search box before pressing "search", the app suggest me "coral reef reashercher"-option. Can it be some AI mistake? There is no such word like "reashercher". I downloaded this app from Google Play, but when I go to the App info, there is no indication of the source it has been obtained from.
