Seek Promotes Key Internal Talent
October 6, 2008 by Geoff Jennings · Leave a Comment
Seek has announced important internal promotions:
First-up, someone we are all familiar with in the blogashere, Carey Eaton. Carey was given the nod for the recently-vacant role of Chief Information Officer. Carey joined Seek nearly two years ago as Product Director after a very successful career in recruitment at Michael Page and then at News Ltd’s CareerOne, to name a few. Hope the pay rise is not already spent.
Joe Powell has been promoted from Sales Director to the newly-created role of Managing Director, taking responsibility for the employment business in Australia and New Zealand.
I haven’t seen the old Sales Director role advertised, stay tuned for another internal promotion.
Finally, nine-year Seek veteran Jason Lenga who is currently Corporate Strategy Director has been handed the additional responsibility for the corporate strategy of the new overseas investments in Brasil and Asia.
It might be a good idea for Seek to update its Board & Management page to reflect these changes.
Seek Self Service…

Seek is making it easier for your job ad. to be at the top of the search results list with its buy-a-Premium job ad. online service. Naturally, however, a superior listing will come at a price.

What about my poor little standard job listing that keeps losing value and moving down the rankings? Carey Eaton has previously argued that Seek Premium ads. are targeted at employers rather than recruiters. This logic is flawed, however, if we consider the idea that it is more likely recruiters who will have the inclination to place their ads. in this self-service fashion.
