Integration Requirements
PrerequisitesPartners:
  • Must have a registered account with SEEK of type Uploader

  • Must be approved to use SEEK APIs.
Advertisers:
  • Must have a registered account with SEEK
  • Must be approved to use Apply on your site, with SEEK on their Job Advertisements
  • Account must be linked to a Partner for the purposes of Apply with SEEK
  • SEEK Job Advertisements must be specified as link out and have an Application Form URL specified.
Service StandardsThe Apply on your site, with SEEK APIs will be available 24/7 (excluding planned site outages and unforeseen circumstances).
Security
  • The APIs require TLS 1.2 or newer, and do not support weak ciphers from TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1.
  • The APIs are protected by OAuth 2.0 authentication. The OAuth 2.0 flows are the Authorization Code Flow (where candidate consent is required to grant access) and the Client Credentials Flow (where a Partner’s credentials are all that is required to grant access).
  • The Authorization Code Flow cannot be implemented within an iframe. SEEK employs preventative measures to protect our candidates from UI redress attacks.
Application Form URLAs part of the pre-fill request, The Application Form URL will be used in matching the request for SEEK Profile data with the Job Advertisement if it has been posted on SEEK. If a match is not found the optional position data will be used to display the candidate’s activity on the SEEK platform.
  • Application Form URL
    • This needs to be the exact same URL that is used when creating a Job Advertisement on SEEK.
    • SEEK uses this to find a matching SEEK Job Advertisement. If no Job Advertisement can be found, it is assumed that this application is for a non-SEEK Job Advertisement.
