Barista Seeker is a job board for the barista industry, founded nearly 2 years ago to cater for a void in the market. Other hospitality sites exist but none that are specifically dedicated to baristas. The barista industry and community are growing rapidly in Australia. After baristaseeker.com.au was launched, many café owners around Melbourne were consulted on how they source employees for their business. A common trend existed where their job ads would get inundated with applications from candidates that had no specific barista training. A niche job board like Barista Seeker attracts qualified and experienced baristas!
Advertising any position can be extremely expensive especially utilising a recruitment company. However, Barista Seeker is efficient and affordable, at only $40 per job post (30 days). Other job packages are available, which provide even further value including $95 for three jobs that can be used at a later date. With many other employment sites, you post a job and applicants hopefully apply. That’s where Barista Seeker is different. All positions are shared on social media pages including a feature on Instagram and Facebook, in our emailed newsletter and on other affiliated job boards. This creates a greater reach of successful candidates. In addition, baristas on Facebook groups are sent links to potential jobs if they fit the description. Voucher codes to cafes and restaurants are often advertised for first time posters or for special times of the year.
