Work in Paradise – post your tourism and hospitality job vacancies for free

Posted on January 18th, 2022

With many tourism businesses continuing to experience staff shortages, it’s time to make the most of the Work in Paradise program. Businesses right across Queensland can use the Tourism and Hospitality jobs site to connect with job seekers for free and promote themselves and their region to new talent.

With the campaign in market until end of January, and planning needed now to meet demand for Easter, now is the time to use the Work in Paradise program to find staff. The advertising campaign has had a great response with more than 1900 applications submitted to the Work in Paradise Incentives Scheme since mid-November 2021 and more than 2 million impressions and 20 000 clicks through to the Work in Paradise campaign site.

All jobs can be posted for free on the Work in Central Queensland platform, with Tourism and Hospitality jobs being automatically aggregated and promoted to the Work in Paradise program.

Don’t forget that employers can post jobs to Work in Central Queensland, find and follow up on applicants at no cost, download resumes, export information, shortlist and archive applicants. It enables the integration of job searches into social media strategies as jobs can be shared directly from the site via email or to any social media platform. If you want to go old school, you can create a printable poster and put it on a shopfront or noticeboard.

You’re encouraged to use the Work in Central Queensland platform and Work in Paradise, include links to these on your own websites and post your jobs for free. While the Work in Paradise site showcases tourism jobs, the Work in Central Queensland site is for all industries.

There are five simple steps to take to leverage Work in Paradise to your advantage:

Post your job vacancies to the Work in Paradise Tourism and Hospitality jobs site – it’s simple and free, just follow the steps in the fact sheet
Include a link to the Work in Paradise Incentive Scheme and the jobs site in your job advertisements
