Job website visits fall despite $22m upgrade effort

The Tertiary Education Commission has revealed a decline in visits to its job website, even after investing $21.7 million in a replacement project. Despite the significant expenditure, user numbers have not improved this year.

The substantial investment aimed to enhance the functionality and accessibility of the job platform. However, current figures indicate that the number of users engaging with the site has dropped. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the upgrade in attracting job seekers.

The commission is likely to analyse the reasons behind the decline and consider possible improvements to better serve users. As the job market evolves, it will be crucial to ensure that job-seeking platforms meet the needs of both employers and job hunters.
