SEEK Price Review (Australia) 2009

Thanks Seek. If I was still a customer. I would have really appreciated this gesture.

Dear Geoff,

As you may know SEEK reviews pricing structure at this time each year.

I want to let you know that there will be no price rise of SEEK products in 2009.

This decision has been made in recognition of your ongoing loyalty to SEEK during an extremely challenging economic period for all Australian businesses, and as a demonstration of our support of your business and our industry during this time.

SEEK remains absolutely committed to supporting your business by delivering:

* Australia’s largest job seeking audience
* Products that better suit your needs & attract a more relevant audience to SEEK
* Superior customer service and flexibility

Thanks again for choosing to use SEEK and for your support.

I wish you all the best for the coming year.

Kind Regards,

Joe Powell
Managing Director
SEEK Employment

Seek Promotes Key Internal Talent

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.
