SEEK Australia
SEEK has no apply-to-everything button. Shigoto AI adds one — as a Chrome extension, so there is no desktop app to install and no machine left running overnight. It opens the roles that match your filters, writes a cover letter for each listing, and answers the screening questions from your own résumé.
Five applications a day on the free plan. No credit card.
SEEK carries most of the Australian job market and none of the automation. There is no native bulk apply, so a serious hunt means opening a listing, re-entering details SEEK already holds, writing a letter, answering four or five screening questions, and repeating that until the evening is gone.
Most international auto-apply tools skip SEEK entirely — they are built around US job boards, and SEEK is an Australian and New Zealand market. So the board carrying the most Australian roles is the one you still work by hand.
This is the practical difference between Shigoto AI and the other tools serving SEEK in Australia. Most of them are desktop applications: you download an installer, and your computer has to stay awake and connected while the run happens.
Shigoto AI runs in Chrome, which you already have open. One click from the Web Store and it is working. There is no binary on your machine, no separate window to babysit, and nothing to uninstall later.
| Shigoto AI | Typical SEEK desktop app | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | One click, Chrome Web Store | Download and install a binary |
| While it runs | A browser tab | Machine awake and connected |
| Boards | SEEK, LinkedIn and Indeed | Usually SEEK and Indeed |
| Free tier | 5 a day, ongoing | Commonly a one-off trial credit |
| Pro | A$15 / month | Commonly A$25–35 / month |
Compared honestly, tool by tool, on our SEEK auto-apply comparison.
Screening questions are where most auto-apply tools quietly cost you the interview. A tool that guesses "yes" to every question will eventually claim you have a licence you do not hold, or five years in a field you have never worked in. Recruiters check, and the correction is worse than the rejection.
Shigoto AI answers from your résumé and the profile you fill in. Where your own material does not support an answer, it does not invent one. That is a real constraint and it means the occasional application needs your input — which is the trade we chose deliberately.
On cover letters
Each letter is written against the specific listing — the actual requirements, in the language of the ad, grounded in your real experience. Australian recruiters read cover letters, and a template with the company name swapped in reads exactly like what it is.
It is the first question most people ask, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a reassuring one. We wrote a full page on it: will SEEK ban your account for auto-applying? The short version is that Shigoto AI works through your own browser and your own session, at a human pace, but no tool in this category can promise you zero risk — and you should be suspicious of one that does.
Free — A$0. Five applications a day, ongoing, no card required. Enough to see whether it earns its keep.
Pro — A$15 a month. One hundred applications a day, approval mode so you can review before anything is sent, and exclusion keyword filters. Cancel in one click.
Most people front-load a week and then coast. If the free plan covers your pace, stay on it.
