•    Can you find me a job? Can you find me an employee?

  No sorry, Ozjobz is not a job agency business. Our primary aim is to make it easier and affordable for remote and regional areas outside the major city centres of Australia to have a space dedicated to their employment  needs. Once you see a position you like you can then directly contact the employers or vice versa.   

We also have OZjobz Classifieds for remote and regional areas of Australia – be sure to check it out.

• Why do I have to log in and feed in Captcha  letters  &  numbers? 

This is to help us prevent spammers from attacking our web site. Captcha is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer. Because other computers are unable to solve the CAPTCHA, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human.

OZjobz wants a web site that is not full of spam and has useful helpful information for you this is why we need you to log in.
