FAQs

Two AUD ($2 AUD) per jobseeker member per month for a standard PJS Basic 30 (30 day) subscription. There are no hidden fees.

One month is 30 consecutive days

Early terminations do not receive refunds of unused portions of the Jobseeker membership subscription.

Jobseekers may also choose to prepay 3 or 6 months in advance. That’s $5 AUD for a PJS Basic 90 (90 day) subscription and $8 AUD for a PJS Basic 180 (180 day) subscription .

The $5 AUD Basic 90 prepayment option for a membership subscription is the most popular and lasts for 90 consecutive days, and it also saves you the hassle of re-subscribing every month!

Whilst not every application will receive a positive response, our view is that it is better to know, and to move on to the next opportunity with a clear mindset - rather than waste what seems like an eternity for a response that may never happen.

If your subscription runs out, PlatinumJobSeeker™ retains the information you place on our site. An expired member can reactivate their account at any time. However while your account is de-activated, headhunters will not be able to see your details, and you will not be able to use the features of the site to their fullest. We do not impose any financial penalty for deactivation. Simply renew your subscription (for as little as AUD $2!) and you are back up and running again. You control your destiny. All site subscribed member features and functions are opened up to you again when you re-activate your subscription, and this is true any number of times that you deactivate or reactivate. Don’t worry - PlatinumJobSeeker™ will send you a reminder that your membership is going to expire 7 days before the actual expiry date, leaving you plenty of time to get your next membership period paid up. Because deactivation and reactivation is a delayed process, we strongly suggest that to have seamless services from us, you choose the 3 or 6 month subscription payment option. Longer subscriptions reduce the number of emails you will get from our site administration. A 1 month subscriber can renew for 1, 3 or 6 months. A 3 or 6 month subscriber can renew for 1, 2 or 3 months as well. Payments are for consecutive periods, so if you subscribe for 30 days on day 1, and then subscribe for an additional 30 days on day 28, that means a full 60 days of continuous membership for you. We do not reimburse for any unused portion of the subscription period for which you have prepaid. Just remember that the longer you prepay, the less you pay per month!

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS]

We don’t have a “three strikes” policy. If our admin reasonably determines that you are not who claim to be, if you post or try to post inappropriate content (please see {here} for a list of what is inappropriate), you will be permanently banned from the site, you will not receive any refund of your unused subscription payment, and we will advise any relevant government authority that directs us to do so, of your identity details. Our site is for serious jobseekers. We do not want you wasting your time, our time, or the time of advertisers who are looking for job candidates of the highest quality.

PlatinumJobSeeker™ is a professional platform of the highest integrity. Our advertisers and our jobseekers rely on it.

Troll elsewhere, please.

Use of the member applicant pitch video function is optional.

Simply take a video in .jpeg format which is no longer than 15 seconds. Load the video to your supported device. Drag and drop the video into the pitch video upload section of the applicant portal.

You control the access to your video. You can choose to send it to the people you apply to via an embedded link in your application for Platinum Tick™ jobs. This is not available for jobs without the Platinum Tick™.

When moderated by the site for allowable content, the video is posted to the site and sits on your profile subject to the access to it that you want to give for the term of your membership subscription. Want to replace it with another pitch video? Feel free to do so as many times as you wish - but there is only one pitch video on your profile at any one time. Your replacement pitch video will permanently delete the prior version. You will be notified when an appropriate video is uploaded. If the video content is inappropriate, we reserve the right not to upload it, and in certain circumstances to delete your account for a serious breach of our terms and conditions.

Pitch videos are your way of introducing yourself to employers and agencies.

Present yourself appropriately to prospective agencies and employers. Use a clear voice, decent lighting, and talk to the camera as if it was your contact person. Use the video to highlight your strengths and support your claims in your CV. Don’t pretend to be someone else, or submit a video of you speaking on another person’s behalf. Treat this valuable resource with respect and integrity – it is designed to help to make you stand out as an applicant for the right reasons, not the wrong ones.

An example of an appropriate pitch video is here.

Our commitment of a guaranteed response to applicants are for our paid up jobseeker members only, and for Platinum Tick™ job ads only.

Why? We can not control what other websites do, or what employers or agents do outside the scope of our own site.

Platinum Tick™ jobs are different.

Platinum Tick™ jobs are those job ads that are placed directly with our site. If a job ad does not have the Platinum Tick™ symbol, then the site does not guarantee that the agent or advertiser will get back to you with any response at all, because responses to those ads are outside the scope of our ecosystem. Clicking on such ads generally take you outside of our ecosystem, and direct you to the site of the advertiser or employer where the ad was placed. We display those ads on our site to merely provide a fuller option to our jobseeker members.

If a job ad does have the Platinum Tick™ symbol, then that’s where we come in. Agents and employers are given powerful tools to get back to every applicant, and our system reminds them that a response has been sent, is pending, or is overdue. Our site responds to unsuccessful applicants, and also advises applicants when their application has been opened by the agent or advertiser. Our terms and conditions require that agents and advertisers either authorise us to advise unsuccessful applicants, or that the advertiser or agent commits to establishing direct contact with jobseekers, and then to prove that they have done so.

So – for Platinum Tick™ job ads, either we, or the agent or employer WILL get back to you. Quickly. Unactioned applications are reminded to the agent or advertiser every 48 hours. We keep doing this until the agent or advertiser shows us that a response has been sent. Your applicant portal and dashboard will show that the response has been sent to you via your email in, or by direct telephone contact from the agent or employer.

A job description is an official public or internal job advertisement that states the specific requirements, skills, job duties and job responsibilities which the jobseeker will be required to perform in doing the advertised job.

See our job description example.

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS]

1. Use an accurate job title.
2. Write a brief summary paragraph that gives jobseekers an overview of the job.
3. Define for the jobseeker what success looks like in the position after 30 days, the first quarter, and the first year. These are key deliverables.
4. Write only the job responsibilities that are necessary for this job, not every job
5. List essential qualifications if any – for example the number of years of prior experience that jobseeker must have in the same position, or the education qualifications (if any). If your ideal employee must have a degree or diploma, state what that degree must be..
6. Have someone proofread it. Spelling and syntactical errors are an indication to the jobseeker that you don’t care enough about the job to get the facts straight and elucidate them.
7. Get HR and the hiring manager to sign off on it for accuracy and appropriateness.
8. 8Publish it on PlatinumJobSeeker™ where jobseekers can get easy access to it.

An effective job description is concise, short, and detailed. To ensure that jobseekers understand the role being offered and feel compelled to apply for it, the job description should leave no or little room for further questions or confusion on the job’s fundamental KPIs and requirements.

• Write up a short and engaging summary of the job.
• Avoid superlatives.
• Ensure the focus is on the responsibilities and development requirements.
• Ask current employees advice on writing job descriptions.
• Establish an urgency for the job position by advising the date by which the role must be filled, and work to that schedule.
• Use your company logo.
• Load your company pitch video. Make it generic but positive in terms of culture, interactivity, and any job prospects and growth.
• Understand that many jobseekers are attracted to the role first, and the company second. If the jobseeker does not believe the company to be the right fit, or if the company does not have an attractive reputation or corporate attitude, some candidates will not even apply.

Writing job descriptions when you've never done the job can be intimidating.

You will want to be sure to talk to anyone at your company or agency who is more familiar with the job, especially for help writing the description of responsibilities to get the key terms right (but avoid too much “jargon”.

As a direct employer, you will have within your company individuals who are familiar with the key aspects of the role – involve them!

As an employment agent, review the specifications of the role that you receive from the direct employer, and look to your database of known applicants already on your books. You may already have the right person for the role known to you. If not, then PlatinumJobSeeker™ will spread the word for you to committed jobseeker members keen to match their skills to your stated requirements.
