CareerOne Delivers Christmas Price Rise

Any shenanigans reminding me (even remotely) of our elected w*nkers in Canberra leaves me with a taste in my mouth akin to the tempting flavors of a post-NYE binge.

So you’ll have to excuse me for a moment, while I go rinse, ‘cos CareerOne have been up to some no good that should set the folks there up for fabulous post-corporate careers in gummintal politics.

In true, “kick ‘em while they’re down” form, while recruiters (whose nuts and ovaries are already slightly shriveled due to the impending gloom bought on by lower rates of employment blah blah) folks at C1 got together under the mistletoe and, in between kissing each others’ asses, decided some price hikes were in order.

Merry Bloody Ho Ho.

And if this isn’t bad enough, those that they decided to hit the hardest, were the recruiters on smaller packages.  Folks on a 20-ads a month package will now pay a whopping 32% more than they did pre-Festivus.  What are larger recruiters on 50-ads-a month paying extra?  Not a penny.

There’s equity for ya.

A comparable 20-ads package on Seek is now 35% less expensive than the CareerOne option.  Tell me again why I should shift my business to the distant second-placer in the job board egg and spoon?
