History

Seek was founded in November 1997[2] by Andrew Bassat, Paul Bassat and Matt Rockman along with first employees Robert Sloan and Adam Ryan as an online version of print employment classifieds, and it launched its website in March 1998.[3] On 18 April 2005, Seek was floated on the Australian Securities Exchange with a market capitalisation of $587 million.[4]

In May 2022, it moved its head office to a newly-constructed building in Cremorne, Victoria.[5]

In June 2024, SEEK sold its holdings in the Latin American job-boards OCC (Mexico) and Catho (Brazil).[6]
