Getting started with Workinitiatives as a Recruiter

Recruiter accounts work best for recruitment firms that advertise on behalf of their clients.

Welcome to Workinitiatives! As a recruiter, you have access to a wide pool of talented individuals looking for job opportunities in Australia. In this article, we will guide you through the process of registering and signing in to Workinitiatives, setting up your company profile, and posting your job ad.


Registering and signing in

1. Create your account

If you are new to Workinitiatives, register for a recruiter account.

Select Sign Up from the Workinitiatives website and complete the required registration details.

2. Sign in

Once your account has been created, sign in using your email address and password.

After signing in, you will be taken to your recruiter dashboard.


Setting Up Your Recruiter Access

Note: Due to our privacy policy, we keep applicant data private and secure. To access applicant personal information once candidates have applied to your jobs, you must enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account and complete your company profile with all required details. ​

To access applicant personal information after candidates apply to your jobs, you must:

  1. enable two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA

  2. complete your company profile with all required details

To enable 2FA, your user profile must include a valid mobile phone number. To add your mobile number:

Once you've entered your mobile number you will be able to receive 2FA codes upon signing in. This will also grant you access to view applicant information and details.


Adding and Managing Clients

Once you've enabled 2FA on your account, the next step to start posting on behalf of your clients is to add their Company details as a client on your Recruiter account.

To add a client company:

  1. From the left-hand menu, go to Manage.

  2. Select Manage Clients.

  3. Select Create Client in the top-right corner.

Posting Your Job Ad

Once you have completed setting up your recruiter account and added your clients, you can now post your job ad. See this helpful article for instructions on How to Post a Job Ad.

When posting your job ad, ensure you select the correct client profile the job advertisement will be posted on. You will see a dropdown of options that also include your recruiter account.

If the job has already been published, review the job ad settings or contact support before making changes.

I cannot publish a job ad

Check whether your account has an active subscription, available job ad credits, or a valid posting option.

You can review this from your dashboard or pricing section.
