Fair hiring
SEEK has an important role to play in eliminating unfair hiring practices.
SEEK’s fair hiring program aims to promote fair, safe and ethical recruitment, and prevent exploitative recruitment practices, modern slavery and discrimination in employment. This includes job ads that are free from:
illegitimate or illegal jobs, for example roles at scamming call centres;
deceptive or manipulative recruitment;
unethical or unlawful charges or placement fees where the worker pays for a job; and
discriminatory language or requirements.
SEEK reviews and adapts its fair hiring approach to reflect the fair hiring risk environment across the region it operates in and any emerging trends. SEEK’s employment platform controls include hirer onboarding services, content moderation and complaint management.
SEEK's fair hiring approach is organised around three pillars to address root causes and manage platform risk:
deepening trust in SEEK's platform through strengthened controls and verification;
responding with care by ensuring people in high-risk situations or potential victims of exploitation receive direct human support; and
increasing awareness and impact by partnering with frontline organisations and engaging broader communities on fair hiring challenges.
SEEK’s Job Seeker Security Hub gives candidates access to localised, market-relevant protection, including market-specific current scam alerts, clear actions if they have been scammed, direct SEEK contact channels and reporting pathways.
Modern slavery
SEEK’s approach to assessing and addressing modern slavery risk aligns with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The technology and the employment marketplaces SEEK operates in expose the business to a unique set of human rights risks; SEEK’s attention is directed to those areas that present the most risk. This is achieved through a range of policies and processes aimed at prevention, mitigation and remediation of risks to human rights.
Supply chains
SEEK applies a Supply Chain Risk Framework across its global operations to identify and address modern slavery risk within its supply chain. This involves a three-step approach to: analyse suppliers for inherent modern slavery risk; assess the operations and governance of suppliers with elevated risk; and work with suppliers to take remedial action when modern slavery incidents or inherent risks are identified.
