About Jora
Jora.com is an Australian based job search engine with a mission to make finding a job as simple and intuitive as possible for job seekers. Our ambition is to continue to expand internationally and become the preferred job search destination worldwide. A true start-up, Jora is a new member of the SEEK family, which means we’re backed by the strength of a global leader.
Our site processes millions of job requests per day (and growing). In addition, we index millions of jobs and keep our users informed through daily emails alerts. All of this together makes us the 3rd largest online employment marketplace in Australia. We use open source technologies to build our platform that crawls thousands of sites globally. To enable all of this we need to think, do and learn quickly. Everyone contributes ideas which are then assessed for potential value and prioritised.
Over the past two years, we’ve gone from having a bedroom office to a fully-fledged business complete with a talented and diverse team of developers, strategists, marketers and site managers. We love bright, curious people; those serious about solving problems for our team and ultimately the millions of visitors to our site each month. As a small company we love our very flat and collaborative organisation. The team at Jora comes in all shapes and sizes and our growing team has over 15 different nationalities!
