MusicCareers

Review:

MusicCareers gives employers access to a niche network of local and global talent in search of music-related positions. The platform's featured listing placements and social media promotion allow for increased visibility, and vacancies can be auto-renewed after 30 days to ensure companies reach a good selection of candidates.

While MusicCareers' posting plans are competitively priced, it does not have the same local reach as some Australian-based alternatives, such as Music Victoria Jobs Board. The platform also lacks various key hiring tools, such as resume searches and job ad distribution.

Pros:

• The platform offers a free job posting service for volunteer jobs, internships, and freelance gigs.
• Listings are live for 30 days and can be auto-renewed on a monthly basis.
• MusicCareers facilitates international postings and allows employers to connect with global music talent.
• Vacancies are promoted across the the job board's social media pages for increased visibility.
• The Standard plan highlights job posts in the job search results and sends them to candidates via weekly job alerts.
• The job posting process is quick and easy.
• Various global companies, such as Sony Music Entertainment, Spotify, and TikTok, have used the job board to find hires.
• Listings can be added to the job board's home page and featured in its monthly newsletter for added reach.

Cons:

• The platform's free plan is limited to freelance, volunteer, and internship listings.
• MusicCareers does not offer resume searches, applicant tracking tools, or candidate matching services.
• Listings aren't distributed to other job boards.
• Pricing is not available in local currency.
• There is no Australian-based customer support.
