Employer FAQs
Everything you need to know about posting jobs and hiring on Gippslander.
Why use a local job board like Gippslander?
Because Gippslander reaches the people you're actually trying to hire — locals. Unlike big national sites, we focus 100% on the Gippsland region, meaning your job ad gets in front of relevant, nearby job seekers. Plus, by hiring local, you're supporting the community and keeping talent in the region.
Where will my job be seen?
Your listing goes way beyond just our website. We promote your job through social media, local Facebook groups, daily job alert emails to over 2,000 Gippslanders, and aggregators like Jora and Careerjet. This ensures your job gets noticed even by those not actively checking the site.
How do I post a job?
It’s quick and straightforward: Click “Post a Job,” fill in the details, choose your posting option, and publish. You'll start getting applications directly to your email or via your dashboard — whichever works best for you.
How much does it cost?
We charge a small fee to post a job, which helps cover promotion, support, and ongoing improvements to the platform. It’s affordable, transparent, and designed to deliver value — no hidden costs or confusing packages.
Why isn’t it free to post?
Charging a small fee helps us promote your job more widely, reduce spam, and maintain a high-quality platform. It also means you're only competing with serious employers, not outdated or low-quality ads.
How do candidates apply?
Applicants either apply directly through Gippslander or follow the instructions in your ad (like an email or external link). You’ll receive applications in your inbox or dashboard.
Can I update or remove a listing?
Yes — you can log in to your dashboard any time to edit or remove job posts.
Can I repost or extend a job listing?
Absolutely. You can easily repost filled roles or extend active listings if you need more time.
How long does my job post stay live?
Listings remain live for the duration you select when posting. You can remove them earlier if the role is filled.
What happens after I post a job?
Once your listing is live, we promote it across our channels automatically. You’ll get notified when candidates apply and can manage everything through your dashboard.
Can I include my business logo or branding?
Yes — you can include your logo and business details in your listing to build brand recognition and trust with candidates.
What kinds of jobs can I post?
Anything based in Gippsland — full-time, part-time, casual, contract, or volunteer roles across all industries.
What if I don’t get any applications?
We’ll work with you to improve visibility. This might include re-sharing your ad, adjusting the job title, or suggesting edits to boost performance.
