About SEEK Pass

SEEK Pass is a trusted digital passport used by over 3 million people to manage and share their verified identity, credentials, and documents. We aim to integrate across the HR ecosystem to provide more value, security and convenience for individuals and organisations in employment-related processes.   

Our primary use case today is helping job seekers to stand out on SEEK by pre-verifying their qualifications, licences and other credentials so that employers can shortlist them with confidence and speed. We operate as a distinct cross-functional business unit, with integrations into SEEK’s job marketplaces across Asia-Pacific.
