FAQ

No. Only verified client and candidate reviews linked to placements made between 1 January and 31 December 2026 count towards 2026 Recognition in Service Excellence.Reviews must also be received during the 2026 calendar year. Older reviews will stay on your profile and continue to support your credibility, but won’t contribute to your 2026 recognition.

Yes. Our recognition methodology uses a balanced scoring approach to recognise service excellence across recruiters and agencies working in different industries, markets and placement volumes.It considers the quality and consistency of verified feedback alongside reviews received relative to placements made, rather than relying on review numbers alone. This gives both high- and lower-volume businesses a fair opportunity to be recognised.

Review conversion shows how often your review requests result in completed reviews. It helps us recognise recruiters and agencies who consistently earn feedback from a broad range of clients and candidates, rather than relying on a small group of advocates.

Your category is determined by the industry and location recorded in your placement details. We pull this from your ATS integration — or, if you add a placement manually, from the Job Category field.

Categories vary based on the size of the SEEK Recruiter Profile user base in each region. This helps make sure each category has enough participants to provide a meaningful comparison.Recognition is currently available in selected SEEK regions, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong. As the SEEK Recruiter Profile user base grows, more categories will become available.

It uses verified client and candidate reviews and placement data to recognise the highest-performing recruiter and agency in each market.The SEEK Annual Recruitment Awards are a separate, submission-based program judged by a panel of experts.
