Review:

Backpacker Job Board is a niche employment portal in Australia that lists opportunities suitable for individuals on a working holiday in the country. Job seekers can easily find suitable opportunities by searching by job category or location. Employers have a choice of several posting plans as well as premium employer products.

Pros:

  • Posting plans include both free and paid options.
  • The site offers featured and premium options for enhanced job post exposure.
  • Job posts are promoted on the platform's social media channels.
  • Employers can easily manage their job ads and applications from an online management dashboard.
  • Job ads that are older than five days can be boosted to the top of the listings up to 50 times.
  • Premium Employer accounts include a dedicated profile page.

Cons:

  • Certain job ad categories cost extra.
  • The platform lacks a resume database.
  • The site does not list a phone number for customer support.

Reputation:

While reviews of Backpacker Job Board are limited online, the platform does feature a number of reviews from satisfied customers on its website.

Backpacker Job Board vs. Travellers at Work (TAW):

TAW and Backpacker Job Board are both job portals that list seasonal, casual, and working holiday jobs across a range of industries. Unlike TAW, Backpacker Job Board offers paid posting options for enhanced job post exposure in addition to its free plan. Neither platform features a searchable resume database.

Backpacker Job Board vs. Jobaroo:

Backpacker Job Board and Jobaroo are similar in that both are free portals catering to the backpacker community and feature a variety of seasonal job vacancies. However, Backpacker Job Board offers employers promoted job listings starting from A$30.00 +GST, which Jobaroo lacks. Jobaroo does feature resources for living and working in Australia.

Backpacker Job Board vs. Workstay:

Workstay and Backpacker Job Board cater to the same market in Australia. While job seekers can search for jobs by location on both sites, only Backpacker Job Board has a category filter, making it easier for candidates to find suitable opportunities. Unlike Backpacker Job Board, Workstay does not offer premium or featured posting products.
