FAQ

Who are the candidates on EarlyCareerZ?

Candidates include domestic and international students or recent graduates from universities and vocational institutions across Australia. They have predominately studied in Business, IT, Engineering, and Science.

How do I contact candidates?

For job posts and email campaigns they apply directly to you. With talent pool access, you reach out to them directly.

What candidate information do we see?

You see their EarlyCareerZ profile with skills and interests;  a visual display of their background and strengths; resume and video if provided.

What is a Hiring BlitZ?

It's a focused burst of recruitment activity, say four weeks, when employers who are ready to hire, connect directly with students, grads and early career professionals actively looking for opportunities.

How many candidates are in each talent pool?

Our talent pools are growing every week through our relationships with universities, industry associations and viral sharing. Not all candidates choose to be directly accessed by employers. But you can still reach them through targeted email campaigns or free job posts.

How is this different to a job board?

What sets EarlyCareerZ apart is candidate quality, targeting and our multiple ways to reach candidates. By targeting, you’re not sifting through hundreds of irrelevant resumes. 

Can I contact candidates for a job that's not career-related?  

No. EarlyCareerZ is designed to support students and graduates in building their professional experience. Employers should only contact candidates for roles that support career development. Note: We do have a Report Abuse function in place.
