Comparison

Freelance Radar vs SEEK: which is better for contract roles?

SEEK and Freelance Radar both help you find work, but they do not cover the same roles. Here is an honest comparison for ABN, PAYG and government contractors in Australia.

What is SEEK?

SEEK is the best known job board in Australia, where employers and recruitment agencies post job ads across every industry, including contract and temp roles.

What SEEK does well

The largest volume of job ads in one place
A work type filter for contract and temp roles
Used by almost every Australian recruitment agency

Where SEEK falls short for contractors

Only covers roles that someone paid to post as a formal job ad
The same contract often appears several times through different agencies
Applying usually goes through a form, not a direct conversation with the person hiring

How Freelance Radar is different

Freelance Radar finds the contract roles that recruiters, agencies and hiring managers announce in LinkedIn posts, including the many that never become a formal job ad. You see who posted each role and contact them directly.

Contract roles from LinkedIn feed posts, often missing from job boards
ABN, PAYG and government contracts in one place, with the day rate + super when stated
You see the recruiter or hiring manager and reach out directly
Email alerts by specialisation, city and day rate
One plan at A$49 a year, with 3 days free

Which one should you use?

Frequently asked questions

Is Freelance Radar an alternative to SEEK?

It is a complement more than a replacement. SEEK covers job ads posted on its job board, while Freelance Radar covers contract roles that recruiters and hiring managers announce in LinkedIn posts, many of which are never advertised on job boards.

Can I use SEEK and Freelance Radar together?

Yes. Most contractors use several sources. Freelance Radar adds the contract roles from LinkedIn posts and sends them to you by email alert, so you can reply to the recruiter before the role gets crowded.

Does Freelance Radar show the day rate and super?

Yes, when the post states it. Each role shows the rate as written, for example $900/day + super or $60 an hour inc super, along with ABN, PAYG or clearance requirements when they are mentioned.

How much does Freelance Radar cost?

You can browse the latest contract roles for free. Full access with alerts and direct contact costs A$49 a year, with 3 days free and cancellation anytime.
