The Muse

Review:

The Muse is an excellent resource for both employers and job seekers as the site allows employers to create detailed profiles, informing candidates about who the featured companies are.

The job board's large international audience makes it a good option for Australian employers who want to attract candidates from a global talent pool. However, the platform does not have the same local reach as some niche competitors, such as SEEK.

Pros:

• Employers can create company profile pages.
• Large companies with offices in Australia such as Dolby, Shutterstock, and Visa have used the site for hiring.
• The site helps companies to build profiles that will attract candidates.
• The site regularly attracts millions of visits.
• Candidates are offered free resources and advice.
• There are detailed filters for defining and searching for jobs, thereby increasing visibility and exposure for employers.

Cons:

• The site does not publicly display pricing on its site, which makes it difficult to weigh up its offerings against competitors.
• There are no offices in Australia.
• There is no local telephonic or email support available.

Reputation:

On G2, The Muse has a 4.2-star rating based on a dozen reviews. One criticism of the job board is that its applicant tracking system is not as robust as more dedicated applicant tracking software.

The Muse vs. Jora:

Jora is an international job board based in Australia. Employers can post up to ten job posts for free and the site aggregates jobs from across 36 countries. There are not many other notable benefits offered, and The Muse has a larger audience than the former. The Muse also allows employers to create company profiles, which Jora lacks.

The Muse vs. SEEK:

SEEK is a popular Australian job posting site that offers advanced hiring features like applicant tracking, access to resumes, and the ability to send job ads directly to candidates. The Muse lacks these features but allows employers to create detailed company profiles. The latter site also verifies testimonials from employees.

The Muse vs. Adzuna:

Both The Muse and Adzuna are international job boards with a presence in Australia. While The Muse has millions of monthly users, Adzuna has more advanced hiring tools, such as a mobile app, ATS integration, and sharing job posts to regional Australian Community Media (ACM) job boards, which gives employers greater value.
