In three months time when my contract expires that’s it for me with them. I am sick of being treated like a $ sign and not a loyal advertiser.

I recently asked for them to help me out and they responded with NO. Nice…

Vote with your direct debits recruiters.

There are parallels here with the US (and local) car industry, as well as the Australian iron ore industry. When times are good, you can foist any old piece of crap (SUV anyone?) or charge as many $$$ per tonne, and those suckers will just keep buyin’! But when the tables turn, watch out! Consumers have long memories and don’t take kindly to being used. Seek’s good-time price-gouging (I mean, just how much have data storage costs increased in recent years??) didn’t go down well with the recruitment industry, and I’m sure that they’ll soon be voting with their direct debits and their keyboards, now that the power shift is heading in their direction.
Niche jobsboards and aggregators (who Seek dismissed as “not a threat” a year or so ago) are about to have their time in the sun.

Yes, my mistake. Have adjusted including the decimal point.

Slowing down on the overseas purchases might help the bottom line.

Cheers
