MANILA, Philippines—SEEK successfully consolidates its Asia Pacific (APAC) employment marketplaces – SEEK, Jobstreet, and Jobsdb – into a unified platform, driven by SEEK’s cutting-edge AI technology. While maintaining their brands, this integration creates a seamless experience for millions of talents and employers across the APAC region, fostering more precise connections between the right people and the right job opportunities.
The unification, a decade after SEEK acquired Jobstreet and Jobsdb, represents a culmination of three years of development and a substantial AUD$180 million investment.

Peter Bithos, Chief Executive Officer, Asia, SEEK, emphasizes the customer-centric approach, stating, “One unified platform means we can offer our product to millions of people across Asia in an entirely new way, strengthening our position to help 500 million individuals develop their careers with five million companies in the region.
Transforming the Employment Landscape in the Philippines
In a recent announcement, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) revealed a 3.6% unemployment rate in November 2023. The ongoing unification efforts strengthen Jobstreet by SEEK’s commitment to offering jobs to every Filipino, enhancing the experience for both employers and talent through a more seamless and advanced platform.
“We are thrilled to enhance tailored job matches between employers and talent, utilizing SEEK’s AI technology to consistently provide job opportunities to every Filipino. The revamped Jobstreet by SEEK platform can now efficiently connect them based on specific skills, job roles, and career aspirations, addressing the dynamic and evolving employment landscape in the Philippines,” says Dan Majarocon, Managing Director, Philippines, Jobstreet by SEEK.
Empowering Personalized Connections and Streamlined Experiences
The consolidated marketplace introduces cutting-edge AI enhancements to the Jobstreet and Jobsdb platforms in Asia, with a focus on elevating the employment journey for both employers and job seekers. For employers, the revamped platform employs AI models to evaluate talent suitability, delivering highly personalized recommendations. By processing data from diverse sources such as resumes, job ad descriptions, and past employer behaviors, the hiring process becomes faster and more efficient.
In catering to job seekers, the platform seamlessly matches them with AI-recommended jobs aligned with their experience and skills. Leveraging a vast dataset spanning APAC, SEEK’s AI algorithms ensure more precise and relevant connections between employers and talent. This results in an enhanced user experience and expedites the hiring process across the Jobstreet and Jobsdb platforms.
Accelerating Customer-Centric Innovation
With the transition to a unified marketplace platform, SEEK can now rapidly leverage data-driven insights, conduct product testing, and drive innovation at an accelerated pace.
Additionally, SEEK has introduced a new natural language search feature on its Jobstreet platform in the Philippines. This innovation enables talent to submit job queries using simple phrases or complete sentences, offering a more organic search experience powered by a large language model (LLM).
This user-friendly feature is slated to expand to SEEK’s other APAC markets in 2024. Explore the enhanced Jobstreet by SEEK platform at jobstreet.com.ph or download the app on Google Play Store or the App Store.
