For employers
Post a job and reach workers who already have the skill
Updated
Yakka Labour walks you through a job post one step at a time: the jobsite, the role, how many people, the rate, the days and hours, and the tickets you need. When you publish, workers who list that skill get a push notification, so the right people see it first.
How it works
-
Pick the jobsite and role
Choose one of your jobsites and the role you need, for example general labourer, carpenter or forklift driver.
-
Set headcount and pay
Say how many workers you need and the hourly rate (from $28 an hour), plus any allowances or overtime.
-
Add the schedule and tasks
Choose the days and hours, list the tasks and the tickets workers must hold, and add a description of the job.
-
Review and publish
Check the summary and publish. Your first full job post is free; later posts carry a one-off fee shown before you pay.
-
Workers with that skill are notified
Workers who list the skill get a push notification, and their applications land in your applicant pipeline.
Write a post workers actually answer
Clear posts fill faster. Put the real rate, the start time and the suburb up front, and list only the tickets the job truly needs. Check the going rate first in the 2026 labour hire rates guide.
Need someone today rather than next week? A quick post is free and goes straight into the workers’ feed.
Manage the post after it goes live
From My Jobs you can edit a post, hide or show it, share the link, or post it again. Every applicant shows up in one place, with filters for white card, vehicle, distance and skills.

FAQ
Who sees my job post?
