The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Job Board

Review:

The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia was established in 1956 and is considered the leading organization for pathologists throughout Australia. Although the job board offers free postings for members, the service is available for nonmembers at a fee and includes distribution on other job boards and in the college e-newsletter.

Pros:

• The RCPA is a niche job board specifically for pathologists and senior scientists in Australasia.
• RCPA members can post jobs for free.
• Independent employers and nonmembers can also post jobs on the platform.
• Jobs listed on the RCPA job board are also listed on SEEK, Ethical Jobs, and LinkedIn.
• Job ads are also advertised in the college's fortnightly e-newsletter with a circulation of over 3,600 readers.

Cons:

• Nonmembers can only submit jobs via email.
• Payment can only be made by cheque or direct deposit.
• The platform is missing applicant tracking and candidate matching tools.
• There is no CV database.
