Many Australian health care employers advertise their vacancies using generic online job boards, hoping to fill positions quickly and efficiently by reaching a large online audience and multiple candidates. But are all job boards the same? This article will compare generic job boards like Indeed and SEEK, to MedicalJobsAustralia.com - a niche, industry-specific job board, catering to Employers and Job Seekers from the Medical and Health sector.

Mainstream, generic job boards, such as Indeed Australia and SEEK, have advantages and disadvantages. Although they capture a large amount of online traffic, their size and expansive reach can impede on things like the quality of your job ad views and the suitability of your medical and health care candidates. From the job seekers’ perspective, generic job boards tend to produce extensive, and often irrelevant, search results, which impacts on their time and their job search experience and satisfaction.
