AVA Career Connect vs. VeterinararyCareers.com.au:
Like AVA Career Connect, VeterinararyCareers.com.au is a job board that caters to Australia’s veterinary job market. While VeterinararyCareers.com.au is by far the more affordable platform for employers on a tight budget, job posts are only active for 14 days at a time, compared to AVA Career Connect’s standard 30-day listings.
AVA Career Connect vs. Seven Animal Health:
Unlike AVA Career Connect, Seven Animal Health does not feature the ability to post jobs directly to the website, making the former the more convenient option for employers. AVA Career Connect features a resume database and premium job posting options, which Seven Animal Health lacks, making the former the more feature-rich platform for employers.
AVA Career Connect vs. SEEK:
SEEK is one of Australia's most popular job boards. Although the site offers access to a large audience, it is a general job board, whereas AVA Career Connect allows employers to connect with a more targeted pool of veterinary professionals. While the former charges A$198.00 +GST per nonmember post, SEEK's pricing is varied and dependent on location.
