Online hub for Logan Jobs now launched

Council is making it easier for local people to connect with local jobs through a new, free, online hub: loganjobs.com.au.

The site features available jobs in the City of Logan and immediate surrounds across a wide range of sectors, and across all suburbs. It lets Logan-based employers list vacant positions for free, with jobseekers able to search the site or follow job listings on Facebook to see new jobs as they’re advertised—or have alerts delivered directly to their inbox.

Mayor Luke Smith launched the site on 3 May 2017 at an event featuring RedBalloon founding director Naomi Simson (dubbed the ‘Red Shark’ on Channel 10’s Shark Tank’).

Since the launch, the website has received over 13,000 page views and has almost 500 jobs seekers registered and 400 jobs listed.
