"The utilization of your website as a recruitment tool for our company has been revolutionary. You are now our major recruitment resource for Food and Beverage operations. I sincerely believe that you in the near future you will overtake larger more established recruitment agencies who provide offices and face-to-face communication."

"As a Cairns based business we have been using Backpacker Job Board as a recruitment tool for the last 4 years. We find the range of different recruitment services suit our needs as a small business. We use a range of the services from free advertising to premium depending on the time of year and season we are operating in and our specific recruitment needs. The different levels of advertising suits us as a business and has helped us attract multiple applicants and new team members to our Cairns Business during off season and peek season.
"Backpacker Job Board is a reliable service that has delivered fantastic for us. We find the team approachable, if you need to talk with them or ask questions they get back to you quickly. They often reach out to see how things are and if there is anything they can do to better support you as a business and region. We think their approach is fantastic and something other companies could do better. Although Backpacker Job Board is not the only job advertising platform we use, it's definitely one of the strongest and a service we will continue to use going forward and into the future."Mark Taylor

"Discovery Parks in Cloncurry have been using the Backpacker Job Board for 4 - 5 years now and we have always had a great response from a vast variety of applicants. Having international people in our diverse work force makes the days and weeks interesting. I know my staff and I have made some great contacts and friends, if we ever get to travel the world again, we will have lots of people to visit.
"On the most part, I have always found people who are keen to work, keen to do plenty of hours and keen to save money, and the process of placing an ad on the Backpacker Job Board is quick, seamless, and easy. Ads are usually approved the next day and sometimes the same day. It is comforting to know that the ads are being vetted and that the right people are applying for the right role.
"I have no hesitation in recommending this useful and extremely valuable recourse and I regularly do so. It is often very difficult to get people in remote and regional areas, but Backpacker Job Board is always my first go to."Hamish Griffin
