For Cairns employers
Premium listings that
local people actually see
Posting on Cairns Jobs is free and always will be. Premium is for the role you need filled now: pinned above every other ad, pushed out through our local channels, and measured so you can see exactly what it did.

Our risk, not yours
If it does not fill the role, the next one is on us
Run a premium listing. If the role is still open 30 days later, tell us and we will run your next one at no charge. We would rather carry the risk than charge you for a result we did not deliver.
Standard listing
Free
Unlimited, no card, live in minutes
Premium listing
$29.00 / 7 days
One role, one fee. Email us to book one in.
On the national boards a single standard ad starts in the hundreds just to be listed at all. Here the listing itself is free and stays up until the role is filled. This buys 7 days pinned on top of it.
What premium actually does
Six things a free listing does not get
Pinned to the top
Your listing sits above every standard ad on search, its category page and its suburb page, with a tinted card and your own image. First thing a local sees, every time.
Pushed, not just listed
We post it to the Cairns Jobs Facebook page and group, where local jobseekers already are. A national board hosts your ad. We actively distribute it.
In the weekly email
Featured in the Monday digest that goes to every confirmed local job alert, plus any matching instant alerts.
On your own website
The free careers widget and WordPress plugin put your live listings on your own site, always in sync. Filled roles disappear by themselves.
Proof it worked
Views, clicks from your own website, saves, applications and your apply rate, in your dashboard and in WordPress. Real numbers, not a vague reach figure.
Founding employer badge
A permanent badge on your listings and company profile marking you as one of the first 50 Cairns businesses to back a local board.
Why local beats national for a Cairns role
We are not going to pretend we have Seek's audience. We have something they structurally cannot offer for a Cairns role.

Straight answers
Do I have to pay to post a job on Cairns Jobs?
No. Standard listings are free and will stay free. Premium is an optional upgrade for roles you need filled faster or that are hard to fill.
What is the Founding 50?
The first 50 local businesses to back the board. Founding employers receive three complimentary premium listing credits, a permanent badge on their listings, and their premium rate locked in for as long as they keep using us.
What happens if the role does not get filled?
If a premium listing has not filled your role within 30 days, tell us and we will run the next one at no charge. We would rather carry the risk than take money for a result we did not deliver.
How is this different from Seek or Indeed?
Everyone browsing Cairns Jobs lives in Cairns or Far North Queensland, so you are not sifting interstate applicants who never show up. Applications land straight in your inbox with answers to your own screening questions, and your candidates stay yours.
How long does a premium listing run?
A premium listing keeps its placement for the promoted period shown at checkout, on top of the standard 30 day listing life. You can repost or extend at any time.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Post free first and watch the numbers in your dashboard. If a role needs more reach, upgrade it in one click. Founding employers get three premium listings free to start with.
