Important Notes
This page contains the terms relating to:
our complimentary Talent Search service (“Talent Search Terms and Conditions”); and
our paid, Premium Talent Search service (“Premium Talent Search Terms and Conditions”).
If you have purchased Premium Talent Search, the complimentary Talent Search service is not available to you and you should refer only to the Premium Talent Search Terms and Conditions.
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Search replaces the paid service previously known as ‘Talent Search’ offered by JobStreet by SEEK and JobsDB by SEEK (Superseded Services).
The Premium Talent Search Terms and Conditions replace the terms of the Superseded Services and will apply to your use of Premium Talent Search.
All credits / coins existing under the Superseded Services have been converted to an equivalent amount of new Premium Talent Search Credits.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.
