Best job board alternatives for hiring in Gippsland

Seek


Australia’s largest commercial job board with a huge national audience and a wide range of advertising options. Ideal for employers who want maximum reach—though you may receive applications from international candidates or people based in Melbourne, which can mean extra screening if you’re hiring only within Gippsland.

Pros

  • Massive national audience and strong brand recognition
  • Advanced advertising and search tools

Cons

  • Paid listings can be expensive
  • You may receive a lot of international or Melbourne-based applicants


Indeed

A global job search engine with strong Australian coverage. Employers can post free or paid listings and access a large candidate pool. Like Seek, it’s common to receive applications from overseas or from Melbourne, so it may take more effort to filter for local talent.

Pros

  • Global job search engine with free and paid listing options
  • Large candidate pool and good organic visibility

Cons

  • Like Seek, you may get applications from overseas or Melbourne
  • Less focused on Gippsland-specific jobs


Gippsland Jobs Hub

A government-funded site that lets employers post for free. It’s powered by the Melbourne-based platform provider uWorkin. Because it’s part of a statewide system, you may sometimes be redirected to partner sites such as Adzuna, where jobs are back-filled from other sources and may not have been directly checked by the employer.

Pros

  • Government-funded and free to post
  • Familiar option for employers wanting a no-cost listing

Cons

  • Operated by Melbourne-based provider uWorkin, so not locally run
  • May redirect you to partner sites such as Adzuna, where jobs are back-filled and may not be directly checked
  • Reach can be limited compared with larger national or dedicated regional boards


Facebook Jobs & Local Groups


Great for tapping into community-based audiences and quick, informal recruiting. Works best when employers are willing to engage directly in local Facebook groups and respond to questions.

Pros

  • Great for tapping into community-based audiences
  • Quick and informal recruiting through local groups

Cons

  • Requires active engagement by employers to answer questions
  • Harder to track applications and manage candidates compared with a dedicated job board


Gippslander


A locally run platform built exclusively for Gippsland. We block international traffic and focus solely on the Gippsland region so employers reach the right candidates without wading through irrelevant applications. When you pay for a listing, we actively promote it—via social media and local networks—because we want every ad to perform well and keep you coming back.

Pros

  • Locally owned and built exclusively for Gippsland
  • Blocks international traffic so you reach genuine local candidates
  • Paid ads are actively promoted through social media and local networks—we want every ad to perform well so you come back
  • Focused community and strong regional connections

Cons

  • Smaller total audience than the big national boards—but 100% targeted to the region you actually want to hire in
