The SEEK API provides access to SEEK’s employment marketplace.
This documentation is targeted at developers integrating their recruitment software with SEEK.
The SEEK API provides a unified way to access a shared set of HR-related objects.
While there is a single SEEK API, there are a number of ways to use the API to accomplish specific goals:
- Job Posting allows you to post job ads to the SEEK job board.This includes support for selecting the SEEK ad product, location & job category as part of the posting process.
- Application Export exports candidate applications made on the SEEK job board.
- Proactive Sourcing connects candidate profiles in your software and on SEEK for a more seamless hirer experience.
As the SEEK API gains more functionality it will add new objects and fields to its existing schema.
This lets you leverage your existing development effort and knowledge to access future SEEK features.
The SEEK API leverages existing industry standards whenever possible.
The core of the API is built on:
- OAuth 2.0 for authenticating our integration partners to SEEK.
- GraphQL for exposing our graph of positions , candidates and other business objects.GraphQL allows you to query and join SEEK’s objects together in whatever way best suits your software. It also gives SEEK insight into how its API is being used and which fields our partners are interested in.
- HR Open standards as the basis of our GraphQL schema.Your software may already be using an existing HR Open standard such as HR-XML or HR-JSON. HR Open provides us with common, neutral terminology for concepts in the recruitment software space.
- Webhooks to inform our partners of events that occur on SEEK.
- Web-based components to ease feature adoption.SEEK provides an embeddable and hosted experiences that save you the time of building every use case feature from scratch. These components comply with web standards and are implemented in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
While the SEEK API was initially launched in Australia & New Zealand (ANZ),
it was built to be extended to other markets within the SEEK Group .
The SEEK API will be enabled across our Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets between 2023–2024,
replacing the legacy APOS and Adloader integrations offered under the JobStreet and JobsDB brands:
Code | Name | Brand |
|---|---|---|
HK | Hong Kong | JobsDB |
ID | Indonesia | JobStreet |
MY | Malaysia | JobStreet |
PH | The Philippines | JobStreet |
SG | Singapore | JobStreet |
TH | Thailand | JobsDB |
Our documentation will be revised over the coming months with guidance on regional features for new integrations.
If you have an existing ANZ integration,
refer to JobStreet & JobsDB uplift to extend your integration for APAC markets.
You will be able to consolidate your onboarding processes, support model and technology upon completion of the upgrade.
