Are hidden office admin and business admin jobs available in Swag? The Seek alternative

Are you tired of submitting your resume to job after job only to get the same automated response?

You know the response I mean:

Hi FIRSTNAME,

We really appreciate the time you’ve taken to apply for the role of Business Admin Manager, and we love that you’re interested in exploring the possibilities of a career with us.

The selection process for this role was highly competitive and at this stage, we will not be pursuing your application further.

We are growing at a super fast rate and would love for you to keep an eye out for other opportunities that pop up at our careers site.

We wish you all the best with any opportunities you are pursuing right now.

Do you ever notice where these emails come from?

Most of these messages are system generated and if you get one at least that employer cares about your feelings! We’ve noticed that more and more jobs are becoming available on sites other than the leading job, SEEK.

The most noticeable has been

  • Indeed,
  • Linkedin and
  • SWAG.

SWAG?, yes SWAG, but who are they?

SWAG is a job board from Employment Hero, a well funded technology startup that has a number of different online systems to help businesses manage their staff for shifts, onboarding, training and staff benefits.

You may recall from my previous blog post that Employment Hero bought the company that QuickBooks Online uses for their Payroll Solution for Australian users!

Swag is probably the most compelling tech story that has a chance at competing effectively against Seek.

Most of the job seeking tools available in Swag are similar to Seek:

  • Your profile
  • Jobs
  • Saved resumes and cover letters
  • Job Applications
  • Application Tracking

The biggest difference is their focus on promoting the use of Artificial intelligence in most aspects of the job search, matching and application process.

Being the company that also owns a payroll management software platform they are in tight with a wide number of employers.

Could that be the difference between Sway and Seek – will it uncover the hidden jobs in Office and Business Administration?

If you’ve used Swag or Employment Hero please send a reply and share your experiences.
