SEEK Modern Slavery Statement
Addressing modern slavery risk across our business is a major part of SEEK’s commitment to having a positive impact on the communities in which we operate.
Human rights is a key sustainability focus for SEEK and we are focused on implementing strategies to prevent exploitative recruitment and modern slavery on our employment platform, and identifying and managing risks in our supply chains.
Our 2024 Modern Slavery Statement sets out the modern slavery risks in our operations and supply chains and the actions we are taking to address those risks.
Some of the action undertaken in FY24 include:
Employment marketplaces (fair hiring)
Scanned all 4.9 million job ads posted across our Asia Pacific (APAC) platform.
Approximately 10% of job ads were also manually reviewed (487,000 job ads).
Excluded more than 1,400 hirers deemed high-risk, closed 170 hirer accounts due to identified fraud/scam or other high-risk activity and removed more than 1,200 job ads following manual review or verified customer complaints.
Following our platform unification, extended controls for hirer onboarding and job ad screening across all markets, resulting in improved ability to detect and remove scam ads and illegitimate hirers.
Expanded use of AI tools to review all aggregated job ads for scams and discrimination.
Supply chains
Analysed more than 2,400 suppliers for modern slavery risk, representing 91% of SEEK’s suppliers.
Transitioned to a new third-party platform to deliver ongoing supply chain risk assessments.
Strengthened supplier onboarding processes to reduce modern slavery risk.
Continued to conduct modern slavery audits on SEEK’s cleaning suppliers.
