Course description

FAQs

SEEK's PM role is distinctive due to its focus on the ANZ job market and the complexity of managing a two-sided marketplace. PMs at SEEK need to balance the needs of both job seekers and employers, while also navigating the unique challenges of the regional employment landscape.

While experience in job search or HR tech is valuable, it's not always a requirement. SEEK values candidates who demonstrate strong product thinking, user empathy, and the ability to learn quickly. Showcasing these skills, along with a genuine interest in the employment sector, can compensate for lack of direct industry experience.

SEEK PMs are expected to have a solid foundation in data analysis, including proficiency in SQL and experience with A/B testing. While coding skills aren't typically required, a basic understanding of web and mobile technologies is beneficial. The ability to work effectively with engineering teams and understand technical trade-offs is crucial.
-
Cultural fit is assessed throughout the interview process, but particularly in the leadership and behavioral rounds. SEEK looks for candidates who embody their values of innovation, collaboration, and customer focus. Be prepared to share examples of how you've demonstrated these qualities in your previous roles.
