never got one job from this stupid app
"We're working on it right now" error
won't let me sign in. I put in my email, get my code, looks like it's about to work by changing to different loading screen then redirects me back to the sign in page.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR AUSTRALIA It keeps recommending jobs in Victoria I'm in Queensland I notified seek of the problem they tried to gas light me regarding my search parameters in location. I checked, THEY LIED I've changed them again since then; due to another relocation. I'M STILL GETTING NOTIFICATIONS FOR VICTORIA I'm guessing these dumb septic tanks think it's, "just a quick drive across the island"!
very good
Most of the jobs that are recommended by SEEK have nothing to do with my trade or what I'm looking for.
the only place with a 99.99% rejection rate. Most jobs here are just fake. I get rejected for issues that don't even exist. like last time I got rejected for not having work rights, when I have full work rights. Good place to know the job market sucks.
lever landed a job with seek. fake
you obviously didn't read my qualifications, the information was right there in front of you ! in black and white.
haven't found a single job after applying for so long
worst jobs seeking experience on this applied to plenty jobs without any feedback or response. agree with all other low reviews as well
Annoying irrelevant job recommendations, no ability to filter out QSR jobs from hospitality jobs, listings are becoming depleted because of the competition from other platforms. Seek verify credentials is poorly designed, often doesn't work, total waste of time, nothing more than a marketing strategy as a point of difference.
Edited, still the worst app. This has to be the most useless app for finding a job. Irrelevant recommendations for searching a specific field. Applied to most and yet no one contacted me compare to applying in other apps or social media.
good
it is for me yet to do what I think it would do
good
doesn't specify the exact search that you are looking for and gives you other searches that do not relate to what you are looking for
giving me jobs in a completely different state
The algorithms used don't reflect applicants skills. I have over 40 years experience in the workforce in a variety of sectors, and am not able to attain an interview. I have kept up to date with resume and interview techniques
changing the sort method from "relevant" to "most recent" appears to remove hundreds of entries.
The seek pass function annoys me as it only means we have to give extra information that we have to show in person anyway. Why? is a bit like having a resume then having to write everything down that's in your resume to begin with. just another unnecessary hoop to jump through.
