This article will guide you through using Direct Apply when posting jobs to Seek through Recruit CRM.

Written by Sanjana Panigrahi

What this feature does and when to use it

When you post jobs to Seek through Recruit CRM, you can decide whether candidates apply directly through Direct Apply.

Note: Ads are listed for 30 days by default, which is also the maximum allowed duration. Any requests for listings exceeding 30 days will automatically default to the standard 30-day period. Ads are also sent to candidates through notifications. Ad prices are variable and can change over time. Scheduled ads will be charged at the price of that ad on the day it's posted. Estimates for started applications are based on SEEK's data for similar roles. We do not guarantee that your ad will attract this number of started or completed applications.


Using Direct Apply when posting Jobs to Seek


  1. Go to the job you want to post and click Advertise Job.

  2. Edit the pre-filled campaign name if required, or click Continue to keep it as is.

  3. On the Added Contracts page, you’ll see your connected job board accounts.

How to add your Seek contract to your job advertising subscription

To activate SEEK, please request your Organization ID (also referred to as Hirer ID) and Contract Type (Agency, Company) from your contact person at SEEK. Your Organization ID follows this format: "seekAnz:organization:seek:XXXXXX".

You must also ask SEEK to enable the integration for your ATS by following the activation steps found here:

  1. Search the dropdown list on that page for your respective ATS and select it. If your ATS does not appear in the list, contact your ATS representative and request that SEEK be added.

  2. Once listed, sign into your account and submit an access request.

  3. This will notify SEEK to enable the necessary permissions for job posting to function.

Note: For SEEK to enable the necessary permissions for job posting to function it can take up to 3 days.

Your integration with SEEK will be activated once all steps are completed and SEEK has confirmed activation on their side.

Depending on the location of your vacancy, your job will become visible in one of the countries SEEK operates in, which includes the sites JobStreet and JobsDB.

Please note: Your Organization ID is also referred to as your Hirer ID and follows this format:seekAnz:organization:seek:XXXXXX
