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Search replaces the paid service previously known as ‘Talent Search’ offered by JobStreet by SEEK and JobsDB by SEEK (Superseded Services).

  • The Premium Talent Search Terms and Conditions replace the terms of the Superseded Services and will apply to your use of Premium Talent Search.

  • All credits / coins existing under the Superseded Services have been converted to an equivalent amount of new Premium Talent Search Credits.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. ⁠

a. recommend up to 100 candidates from our database for your role (Recommended Candidates); and

b. 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:⁠

b. you are not entitled to the basic Talent Search service described in these TS Terms, including any associated complimentary Talent Search Credits. ⁠
