Something is badly wrong with the algo
It’s kinda boggling to me that in this day and age, you can’t tailor your Seek searches to the degree needed or give feedback in app. I’m still consistently sent inappropriate jobs, outside my sector or interest field, despite having my searches tuned as much as possible. I’m talking looking for perm roles in Tech as Head of XYZ and $150K+ and being served temp junior roles in Health care, all because they mention the same keyword in the title. There’s no way to hide these erroneous results, or give feedback that they’re off the mark.
Please, get the search functionality better. If I do/don’t want a role in X sector, allow me to have that as part of my search parameters. Give me a way to tell you you’re getting it wrong when it’s wrong, and right when it’s right.

Two words: good product
Would have love to write an epistle about my experience with this app.
Then I thought to myself that "good products actually speak for themselves."
So, what will I add that'll add or takeaway from what Seek offers?!
You know what, in summary, I'll just chip this in: I've gotten not just interviews, but actual jobs (both paid & volunteering) from this app.
That I'm impressed is an understatement. And, really, I don't know how they do it, but y'all doing well.
If this was like in the Superman movies, they should have big *** 'S' written all over their suits in their offices 😅.
That said, there's something unusual I've observed that your developer may need to check out.
While I have no issues with the web app, I'm unable to login into my account via the mobile app.
On the few occasions that I've tried, there were error messages that read something along the lines of "unable to open [...] too many redirects."
With this error, the page went blank and the action of logging into my account didn't proceed any further.
I've tried to log in via Safari and Chrome on my mobile device to no avail.
Is there something wrong with the app or me or is this a general problem?!
Nonetheless, good job guys🫡.

Poor search results
Search results are highly inaccurate. If you search for a particular job it will pull jobs that aren’t remotely related. It’s frustrating and time consuming to use Seek.

Searching is bad
I don’t know when it started specifically but in the last 3 months searching has degraded to a poor experience. I search for something like “.NET” or “C#” keywords and get Java roles. Or roles that aren’t even software engineering or development.
It takes a while for the app to get new features; they only just introduced remote/onsite search filters in August 2024 when LinkedIn had it for 2 years already. You still can’t go to a jobs company page and search for other jobs by the same company. You have go to the search and manually type in the company name! Just little omissions that make it harder to search fast, unlike LinkedIn. Just use LinkedIn; more job ads and better search.

Best career finding assistance
I love the flow and User experience
Suggestion
I think I wouldn’t be able to find job through this app because this app recommends me jobs that apparently, I am not eligible for these jobs. During 6 months, I have applied for more than 30 jobs but I have received only one call who interested to know more about my qualifications and experience. All these show me that the recommendations of this app are completely inappropriate for job seekers.
I have suggested you that kindly check the profile of job seekers with more concentration and make your recommendations more relevant and appropriate for job seekers. Hopefully this change make people feel better about themselves and this app.
Overall thank you.

Could be better targeted for teenagers
It’s helpful to find jobs, but could you add a feature to filter jobs with certain times you’re available to work, and filter jobs based on age. It’s so annoying reading an amazing job ad only to get to the bottom of the ad and finding out it’s 18+ only and I’m not old enough. Maybe you could even make a feature or even a separate app that finds jobs specifically for teens/young adults who are at school and uni

DONT DOWNLOAD
Seek has got to be not only the biggest joke but the biggest waste of time. I downloaded seek in 2022 and since being on it I’ve only ever been asked to attend 2 job interviews out of the countless applications I’ve sent through. You’re better off going into the store and handing in a physical resume instead of wasting your time, listing your skills and assets and job experience to people who most likely don’t even give your application the time of day. If I’ve ever been disappointed countless times it’s this app, it never fails to let me down. Honestly I think it’s a close competition between seek and my ex situationship on who has let me down the most.
