Employment Hero, the global leader in managing employment, has today announced the launch of EH Jobs, a new mobile app designed to meet the changing needs of Australian job seekers and businesses.

Built for how people actually look for work today, on their phones, on the go, and in the moments between shifts or commutes, EH Jobs recognises that finding work rarely happens at a desk anymore. 

The EH jobs app puts local businesses on candidates’ radars with zero effort – helping them manage the constant demands to fill rosters and keep their doors open to customers. For job seekers, it makes job hunting as easy as chatting on a dating app or discovering a new restaurant, tailored to a tech-native generation of employees

Tailored for the hospitality, retail and frontline sectors, EH Jobs app seeks to put an end to pounding the pavement, writing resumes and outdated hiring practices with features like:

• No more doom scrolling: Find jobs in your neighbourhood, from company career pages, social media, and more, all in one place – plus see who’s hiring nearby on a map.
• No resume? No problem: Set up your profile, polish it with AI, and add a video intro to show off your personality. Apply or be matched with thousands of opportunities in seconds.
• Chat with employers: Get personal job recommendations and chat 1:1 with employers.
• Find hidden jobs: 4 in 5 jobs never go public. Get your foot in the door with local businesses even if they’re not advertising on a job board.

Employment Hero has evolved from HR and payroll to a complete Employment Operating System, connecting both sides of the employment marketplace. EH Jobs, the latest step in this evolution, offers job seekers access to retail and hospitality businesses across Australia through a smarter, mobile-first platform.

David Holland, Managing Director of Talent Solutions at Employment Hero said: “The job hunt has changed. People aren’t sitting at a desktop scrolling through listings anymore. Job hunting has become part of daily life; Aussies are looking for work between shifts, on the train, on their phone during smoko, even while scrolling TikTok”.

“EH Jobs is designed for that reality, a fast, mobile-first experience that removes friction on both sides of the marketplace and integrates with how people use technology today.Our record so far is just 18 minutes from a candidate seeing a business listing and successfully scheduling a Trial Shift. I expect that record will continue to tumble,” he said. 

The move is part of the company’s mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone.

The launch comes amid rising hiring costs and persistent talent shortages across frontline industries. The latest Employment Hero Jobs report, based on 1.1 million verified payrolls, shows that employment growth and wage growth have plateaued at just 1.5% QoQ and 0.7% QoQ, respectively.

EH Jobs offers a timely solution, giving employers a free and direct way to tap into a national pool of ready-to-work candidates. Employers on the Employment Hero platform also gain access to SmartMatch, which uses existing HR data to recommend the best-fit candidates automatically.

“This isn’t just another job board,” said Holland.  “We’re bringing a sense of immediacy to job seeking, especially for those in casual and shift-based roles, where speed and simplicity make all the difference.  

“EH Jobs is the front door to a more connected employment experience; one that benefits jobseekers and businesses alike.”

EH Jobs is available to download now via the App Store and Google Play.
