SEEK launches SEEK Pass in Asia to help talent stand out with verified credentials

SEEK’s verified credential passport, SEEK Pass, is now available on the Jobstreet and Jobsdb platforms in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. 
Job seekers can stand out further by securely pre-verifying their credentials, enabling employers to confidently shortlist candidates and accelerate recruitment on a trusted platform. 
Manila, 7 January 2024 – SEEK today announced the roll-out of SEEK Pass (seekpass.co), its verified credential passport, to six markets in Asia. SEEK Pass is now available to help talent verify their work credentials on Jobstreet and Jobsdb, the region’s leading employment platforms by SEEK, allowing them to stand out in an increasingly competitive job market.  
In Asia, the average number of applications per job ad on Jobstreet and Jobsdb has increased by 83% in the first three quarters of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This makes it more challenging for job seekers to be noticed easily, and for employers to sift through the high volume of applications to find the right candidate.  
The accelerated expansion of SEEK Pass to Asia is made possible by the integration of SEEK, Jobstreet and Jobsdb last year, which unlocked faster product innovation and deployment with all three marketplaces now operating on a unified platform.  
Xavier Russo, General Manager of SEEK Pass, says the Asia launch builds on the product’s success in Australia and New Zealand, where 40% of applications on SEEK now include verified credentials and are 10% more likely to be shortlisted than unverified applications. “We’re excited about helping millions of job seekers across Asia who use Jobstreet and Jobsdb to stand out with verified credentials when they look for their next role.” 
Today, SEEK Pass can verify a candidate’s current workplace across all Asian markets where SEEK operates, and can verify identity in the Philippines and Malaysia. This range of verified credentials will expand over time, similar to Australia and New Zealand where more than 20 unique verifiable credentials are now available. 
"As we work towards expanding the range of verified credentials in Asia, we aim to partner with local government authorities and agencies to create a more efficient and effective ecosystem that better serves both job seekers and employers in the region," Xavier added.
