SEEK Transition: Keep Hiring without Disruption
Seek is ending direct access to their API on 25 August 2025. This page is your central hub for tools, and support through this transition.
Continuity
Our priority is continuity for our customers. To this end, we have reluctantly applied to the Australian Federal Court for an urgent interim injunction with the aim of maintaining the API link with SEEK.
We recognise that, as the leading job board in Australia, SEEK plays an essential role for our customers in connecting with talent and that our long standing API integration is a valuable part of seamless job posting from the Employment Hero platform.
We will provide updates on our progress, but if you need immediate help, please contact our support team via your Employment Hero platform
Tools to Help You Hire Faster, for Less
Employment Hero exists to “make employment easier and more valuable to everyone”. Recruitment is a core part of this mission.
In addition to the SEEK integration, we provide a suite of solutions to solve hiring challenges:
Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
Constant investment and innovation means our ATS is a core feature of our Employment Operating System. We were among the first to introduce data based ranking of candidates and the wide range of customisation, screening, reporting and collaboration tools make our ATS a powerful solution for even the largest volume hirers. In response to feedback from our customers with less complex hiring needs, we will soon release a simplified version with zero set up.
Job Boards
Still need to post a job ad? In addition to SEEK, we maintain integrations with a host of premium third party job boards, including Indeed, Adzuna, TradeMe and LinkedIn. Plus, our proprietary Employment Hero job board is included with your subscription, allowing you to post your role free of charge.
Custom Career Pages
Showcase your company, employer value proposition, and all job openings on your own careers page – free from the clutter of traditional job boards. Your roles are added automatically to your page when you post to the Employment Hero Jobs Board.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m hiring now and concerned. What should I do?
You can continue posting jobs to SEEK via our integration. We’re working hard to ensure the connection is maintained, and will update you if your workflows will need to change.
We understand SEEK is a critical integration for many customers and our foremost priority is continuity for our customers. To this end, we have reluctantly applied to the Australian Federal Court for an interim injunction with the aim of maintaining the API link with SEEK. As the matter is now before the Court, we are unable to comment further.
Will this affect my ability to track applicants?
No. Your ATS will remain fully functional.
- Candidates from SmartMatch, Indeed, LinkedIn, and your job pages will continue to flow directly into your ATS.
- We’re enhancing the platform to make your hiring journey even smoother.
Will other Employment Hero Features be affected?
No. If this change comes into effect, it will only affect the SEEK job board integration. All other Employment Hero features, including HR, payroll, benefits, and recruitment tools remain fully operational.
How has the ATS impacted customers?
“The fact that we can do direct outreach within the ATS is a game changer. We’re not waiting for people to find our ad – which is different from nearly all other ATS systems that I’ve used”
Dan Farthing, Head of Product and People
“With so many locations, it’s much easier for store managers to refer candidates between stores. If one candidate is a better fit for a different store, the hiring manager can quickly pass them on to another location.”
Elise Guiliano, HR Manager
“The built-in ATS was a huge selling point, along with its comprehensive features which helped when getting our Managing Director and CEO on board with our decision.”
Marie Ragot, People Operations Specialist
“The applicant tracking system really helped us filter candidates and sort through applicants in similar role types we were hiring for. This helps us a lot because in finding the right people with relevant experience in an industry with a lot of candidate movement.”
Ronald Kwok, Recruitment Specialist
