Talent Search & Premium Talent Search Terms

Important Notes

This page contains the terms relating to:

For JobStreet and JobsDB users only:
If you use JobStreet by SEEK (excluding JobStreet Express) or JobsDB by SEEK:
  • Our complimentary Talent Search service will be a new service to you. Please read the Talent Search Terms and Conditions carefully.
  • Premium Talent Search replaces the paid service previously known as ‘Talent Search’ offered by JobStreet by SEEK and JobsDB by SEEK (Superseded Services).
  • The Premium Talent Search Terms and Conditions replace the terms of the Superseded Services and will apply to your use of Premium Talent Search.
  • All credits / coins existing under the Superseded Services have been converted to an equivalent amount of new Premium Talent Search Credits.

Talent Search Terms and Conditions

  1. These Talent Search Terms and Conditions (TS Terms) apply to our complimentary Talent Search service.
  2. The complimentary Talent Search service allows you to proactively identify and connect with potential candidates for your advertised roles. For each Qualifying Job Advertisement you post on the SEEK, JobStreet by SEEK (excluding JobStreet Express) and JobsDB by SEEK employment websites and apps (collectively, our websites and apps), we will:
    1. recommend up to 100 candidates from our database for your role (Recommended Candidates); and
    2. issue complimentary Talent Search Credits that you can use to connect with the Recommended Candidates through the Talent Search Connection Methods.
  3. We also offer a premium, paid version of Talent Search known as “Premium Talent Search”, which has increased functionality compared to the complimentary Talent Search service. If you have access to Premium Talent Search:
    1. these TS Terms do not apply to you. Premium Talent Search is governed by separate Premium Talent Search Terms and Conditions (see below these terms); and
    2. you are not entitled to the basic Talent Search service described in these TS Terms, including any associated complimentary Talent Search Credits.
  4. These TS Terms will bind both the relevant individual and any business or organisation they represent (or claim to represent) and references to “you” and “your” (and related terms) should be read accordingly.
  5. These TS Terms are incorporated into the Advertising Terms of Use, which also apply to you. This means that relevant provisions in the Advertising Terms of Use (such as those relating to contracting parties and governing law) also apply to these TS Terms.
