Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about the services, listings, applicants and Labour Market Testing.

Services and pricing

Which service do I need?

Choose LMT Managed if you need Labour Market Testing: Jobcom runs the advertising and delivers an evidence pack. Choose Managed Recruitment if you want the role advertised and the applicants managed, with those who meet your criteria forwarded to you. Choose Talent Advance Recruitment if you also want suitable applicants phone-screened and a shortlist of up to 5. Choose Talent Placement if you want Jobcom to find the candidate, and to pay only once they have started work. Not sure? Email us about the role and we will suggest one.

What does it cost?

LMT Managed is $499 incl. GST, Managed Recruitment is $750 incl. GST and Talent Advance Recruitment is $1,500 incl. GST. Each is a fixed price per campaign, and you approve the invoice with the listing before anything runs. Talent Placement is a personalised quote, because the price depends on the occupation and industry, and you pay only once the candidate has started work.

How does Talent Placement work?

Email us the role you need filled. Jobcom finds candidates for it and you choose who to hire. We send you a personalised quote first, and you pay only once the candidate has started work.

How do I start?

Email us about the role in your own words. You do not need an account to start: attach a position description, an old advertisement or nothing at all, and we draft the listing for you.

How long does a listing run, and what happens at the end?

A listing normally runs for 28 days from the day it is published. With LMT Managed, the evidence pack is then delivered to you and your Registered Migration Agent, and we remind you ahead of the recommended relist date. Managed Recruitment and Talent Advance Recruitment end with a final update on the applications received and the candidates sent to you.

How is Jobcom different from a recruitment agency?

Jobcom's fixed-price services are built around job advertising: Jobcom runs it and manages the applicants it brings in, and with Talent Advance Recruitment it also phone-screens up to 10 suitable applicants and sends you a shortlist of up to 5. With Talent Placement, Jobcom finds candidates for the role on a personalised quote, and you pay only once the candidate has started work. Who you hire is always your decision, and Jobcom does not employ the candidates.

Labour Market Testing

Does Jobcom provide migration or legal advice?

No. Jobcom does not provide legal or migration advice and does not decide eligibility. Your Registered Migration Agent and your own advisers remain responsible for that.

What if an external ad is taken down?

For LMT Managed campaigns, each posting is captured with its date, its link and a screenshot or PDF while it runs, so the record stands after the external listing comes down.

Can my Registered Migration Agent be involved?

Yes. You can invite your Registered Migration Agent to review and approve the advertisement and follow the campaign, with access controlled per campaign.

Applicants and privacy

What happens to applicant documents?

Resumes and documents are private and access-controlled. There are no public file links. Files are served only through short-lived signed links after a permission check, and every access is logged.
