Bottomline:
Both platforms have a rich offering, including a resume database, featured job postings, and a range of hiring tools. Indeed is the more cost-effective of the two, with both a free plan and pay-per-click pricing that permits a low minimum budget. While Indeed attracts more traffic globally, SEEK has the upper hand when it comes to local traffic.
As Australia's largest, home-grown career site, SEEK is a well-established and trusted local brand that offers employers great local reach. While SEEK does not offer a free plan, it does offer to write and post job ads for employers, which Indeed does not offer. Both sites have their merits, but ultimately Indeed offers more value for less.
