seek.com.au Leaves Competitors Behind
October 20, 2009 by Alice Allan
The latest Nielsen figures for Australian job boards show seek.com.au’s lead increasing over the past four months.
A graph displayed on recruitmentdirectory.com.au charts Australian job portal unique browser figures between September 2008 and September 2009. seek.com.au ended with 3.636 million unique browsers, leaving behind competitors careerone.com.au (1.601 million) and mycareer.com.au (1.189 million):
seek.com.au was established in 1997 and has been part-owned by Australia’s largest media group, PBL, since 2003. The portal recently released figures showing its volume of job ads increased by 2.8 percent in September – the third consecutive month of growth.
Despite seek.com.au’s dominance, careerone.com.au is not showing any signs of giving up. The portal revealed a joint venture with Monster Worldwide last November to offer combined online and print recruitment services. careerone.com.au is now powered by Monster and CEO Michael Harvey has also discussed a multi-stage roll out of enhancements to offer advertisers “real choice in the market”.

Hi Alice. Thanks for the mention. I might just clarify a point if that’s OK – SEEK is a ASX100 listed company with no current association with PBL. Until earlier this year our largest shareholder was Consolidated Media Holdings, a company associated with the former PBL which split into two separate entities in 2008. CMH sold its shareholding in SEEK to a range of institutional investors in August 2009.
Portal? How very 2002.
