How Gippslander Actively Promotes Your Job Post to Local Talent

When you list a job on Gippslander, you’re not just posting it to a website—you’re plugging into a network designed to get your role in front of the right people, right here in Gippsland. We don’t just wait for job seekers to come to us; we go out of our way to make sure your job gets seen.

Here’s how we actively promote your listing to attract more local candidates:

1. Daily Email Alerts at 7PM

Every evening at 7pm, we send out job alert emails to our growing list of local job seekers. These emails include the latest job posts from the past 24 hours, helping your job stay fresh and top-of-mind. It’s one of the fastest ways to reach people who are actively looking.

2. Social Media Promotion

We promote Featured Posts across our Facebook channels and local community groups, where thousands of Gippslanders engage daily. These posts are designed to catch attention and drive traffic straight to your job listing.

3. Syndication to Other Job Boards (Including Jora)

To extend your reach even further, we syndicate your job post to partner job boards like Jora. This ensures your job appears in multiple places, increasing your chances of finding the right fit.

4. Optimised for Google Search

Your job post is formatted for maximum visibility in Google search results. Our SEO structure helps your listing rank for key terms that local job seekers are using, increasing the organic reach of your post.

We also include key location-specific search terms throughout the site and in your job post metadata. So whether someone is searching for “retail jobs in Warragul,” “hospitality roles in Traralgon,” or “aged care work in Bairnsdale,” your listing has a better chance of showing up right where it matters.

5. Pinned Listings for Featured Posts

Featured Posts get special treatment: they are pinned to the top of relevant job category pages, giving your role greater visibility where it matters most. This prime positioning means your job won’t get lost in the mix.

6. Targeted at Local Job Seekers

Gippslander is built for the Gippsland region. Many local job seekers visit our site every day to find opportunities in their area. We also block international applications by default, so you won’t waste time sorting through irrelevant submissions from overseas. We know employers are busy, and our goal is to make hiring as easy and efficient as possible. When you post with us, you're tapping into a growing pool of people who are ready to work locally.

7. Why a Local Job Board Works Better

Unlike national job boards that cast a wide but often irrelevant net, Gippslander is laser-focused on the Gippsland region. That means your listing is seen by people who actually want to live and work locally—not those browsing from interstate or looking for remote-only roles. It's a smarter, more targeted approach that respects your time and budget.

8. Job Boards vs Social Media Posts

While posting a job on social media can provide a temporary spike in views, those posts quickly lose visibility as newer content pushes them down the feed. Gippslander provides your job with a dedicated listing, structured content for SEO, and sustained visibility through email alerts and search tools. It’s not just a flash in the pan—it’s a consistent presence where job seekers go when they’re ready to apply.

Why Choose a Featured Post?

If you’re serious about filling your role fast or attracting a higher volume of qualified candidates, upgrading to a Featured Post gives your listing the extra exposure it deserves. It’s a smart investment when time and visibility matter.
