Advertiser Benefits
Benefits of advertising your jobs and business on Six Figures
Six Figures is a premium job site that has created a new online marketplace, where top talent can connect with genuine six figure job opportunities. Advertisers register their details, which are confirmed before advertising on the site. As a premium job site your job ads are viewed by a targeted audience of high salary earners, ensuring your job ad generates relevant and high quality applications.
Advertisers on Six Figures are supported by the latest Web 2.0 technology and have the opportunity to sell their jobs beyond the traditional, one-dimensional, generic text ad. Job ads are created following our customisable job ad template to elicit more relevant information that appeals to high salary earners, again ensuring you are reaching the right people. In addition, advertisers have access to content about talent acquisition and retention for high salary earners, newsletters, a Help Desk, ad copy reviews, and other online related services.
Since launching in early 2008 we are seeing the site grow, with respect to membership numbers as well as advertisers and their job opportunities. Members are securing new jobs through the site, with success stories coming through every week.
6 Reasons Why You Need to be Advertising on Six Figures
1. We have the quality $100K+ talent - if you are looking to fill $100K+ jobs in your business, it makes sense to advertise these jobs to a targeted and growing membership of 15,000 and growing active and passive job seekers. Our advertisers are telling us that we have relevant and quality talent that the generalist job sites fail to attract. Generalist sites are for general jobs; we are focused exclusively on the $100K market and deliver you only the best talent.
2. Progressive businesses are already advertising with us - if your business is innovative and progressive they should be advertising on Six Figures, as it is the site for businesses that are moving forward, not those lagging behind. We have an amazing selection of top businesses that are leaders in their marketplace. Great people want to work for great businesses.
3. Job seekers are like consumers - yes there is a talent shortage to some degree however what we are also seeing is empowered job seekers who are in short supply. Today job seekers are likened to consumers and high salary earners are no different. Six Figures focuses on only servicing 10% of the job seeking market to deliver them a great service experience.
4. Niche job sites are more successful than generalist job sites - If you look to the USA and UK, whose markets are more mature and sophisticated in talent attraction and retention space, niche sites are embraced by most businesses looking to attract top talent. Niche sites now surpass generalist sites in successfully securing talent for advertisers.
5. It's a new marketplace and new rules apply - There is talent out there and we see them signing up with us every day. We have a new approach to sourcing talent and it works, just ask our current advertisers. Businesses that are quick to adapt and move with the times will find themselves in a better position with a more talented workforce. Businesses that still use old tactics, services and approaches won't have a lot of success with today's top job seekers.
6. What have you got to lose? - As the adage goes do what you have always done and get what you have always got. Rather than say why things won't work, try them first. You have nothing to lose by leveraging the quality of our new niche job site – the worst case is that you source and attract some great people.

Advertiser Testimonials
Testimonials from some of our advertisers
"As an employer having dealt with 'normal' job sites and recruitment consultants directly, I was not expecting the difference I am experiencing through using Six Figures to help with my recruitment needs. The quality of candidates is brilliant – all warranting real consideration, rather than the usual flood of "ordinary" that you get used to from other sites and consultants. The site is easy to use, and it looks great. When advertising for senior positions I want something that looks professional rather than a generic bulletin board!" Andrew, Global IT Company
"I wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you and Six Figures for your support to our business over the last few months.
I remember when we initially spoke about Six Figures and how I believed it was a great concept to introduce to a market place that desperately needed an overhaul for advertising in the $100K plus salary bracket.
My recruitment team has trialled Six Figures for a few months now and I wanted to let you know that we have had some outstanding candidates express interest in some of the roles. Most notably, a very senior role within our business attracted a fantastic candidate in terms of skill set and fit. We would have chosen to progress that candidate through our recruitment process but at the last moment he decided not to relocate to Sydney due to family commitments. Unfortunate for us but I do believe that it demonstrates that the response through Six Figures is quality and NOT quantity; which every recruiter appreciates!
We look forward to partnering with you moving forward as I still firmly believe that there is a need for an alternate online advertising option given our ever changing market place." Allegra, Telecommunications Company
"I recently used Six Figures to advertise a role which was difficult to fill due to a severe shortage of quality candidates. I had been using a number of other recruitment sources which had not delivered any worthwhile candidates. Six Figures looked like a good option.
I found the facility easy to use and when I needed assistance or advice, there was always a friendly and knowledgeable person available to help me.
For the first time during this tough assignment I received a number of applicants who were very close to the job specification. Although we didn't make an appointment on this occasion, I was very impressed that using Six Figures had enabled me to source a number of high quality candidates. I found that all the candidates were worth following up on.
I have now become a regular user of Six Figures." Tony, Executive Recruitment Agency

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions and their answers
Q. What is the screening process?
Six Figures is a niche site catering for job seekers who are currently earning or capable of earning a salary package in the six figure package range ($100,000k). To access some services on the site, a member's resume is screened to ensure the details they provide are consistent with current market trends in terms of expected salary. Six Figures checks your resume and member profile to ensure only those whose salary is commensurate with the jobs advertised on the site can apply for positions.
Q. How is my information private?
When you create your member profile, only those businesses that you apply for a position with can view your details. Other members on the site and businesses do not have access to your information. Members cannot see the details of other members, as Six Figures is not a social networking site. It is for the purpose of connecting our members with the best six figure job opportunities.
Q. What if I can't find the jobs I am interested in on the site?
The site recently launched, and as such we are in the process of building up our jobs directly from employers, as well as selected RPOs and agencies. Given the stage we are at, the job type range is limited but growing as we cover all industries and professions. If you find there are currently no jobs available in your industry or occupation, please revisit the site at a later stage.
Q. Is Six Figures for me?
Six Figures is for high income earners in all industries and professions.
To join, you must earn a minimum of AU$100,000 salary package. An example of a package could include an $80,000 base, plus 9% superannuation of $7,200, a car allowance of $12,800 = $100,000.
Six Figures is for you if you are interested in:
* Focusing your time on applying for genuine & current jobs
* Having more detail about a job and business they are with before you apply
* Keeping your information private and only having it viewed by businesses you apply for a position with
* Having the opportunity to find out about businesses and employment opportunities both current and upcoming at your leisure and in privacy

Q. What if I earn less than $100k?

Otherwise, Six Figures will not be a good resource for you if you're currently making under $75,000 or don't want to take on the responsibility of a $100,000+ job.
Q. What services does Six Figures offer?
The Six Figures website offers those seeking employment opportunities within the six figure salary range an exclusive and more extensive online service than currently exists.

The Six Figure website will provide more job ad and business information upfront (including minimum salary, information about employee shares, options and bonus schemes), a clean and uncluttered website that is easy to navigate, search and apply for positions and with more communication by businesses around applicant tracking and feedback.
Services to job seekers include:
* Information control and privacy, with the ability to upload videos, web links to personal blogs and community site profiles to support your job applications

Q. Why doesn't Six Figures charge a fee?
As talented six figure salary package earners, you are in high demand and we are only interested in connecting you to great employers who can offer you great jobs. Employers pay to advertise their businesses and job opportunities on Six Figures to attract talent.
Q. How do employers find me?
You choose which employers can find you. It's that simple! Six Figures is not a recruitment site which sends your CV to as many employers as possible with the hope of making a "sale".
As a member, you can search the businesses and jobs and apply for the ones which interest you. Only those employers with whom you apply for a job will be able to see your information. In this way you control who sees you and who doesn't.
Q. How do I contact employers?
Some employers will post their contact information on their job advertisement, in which case you can contact them yourself. Other employers will not post their contact details, instead asking that you apply for the job opportunity on the site. In this case, after applying, you will be contacted by the employer.
Q. How does Six Figures protect my privacy?
We know that your identity must be kept confidential. Six Figures adheres to strict professional and ethical guidelines.

Whatever the reason, Six Figures provides a useful means of keeping in touch with the job market in a convenient, professional and discreet manner.
Q. What about the jobs? Won't I find the same jobs listed elsewhere?
Some employers might advertise some of their jobs on other sites but only on Six Figures will you be able to see the job in detail and know it is genuine and current. Of course you are not restricted to using Six Figures but we are sure you will come to realise the benefits that Six Figures offers you over time.
Q. What if I am looking to change job function or industry, how does Six Figures help me?

Kelly Magowan and Karen Jenkin will be speaking at the forthcoming Online Divas event for entrepreneurial women in an online world.
AHRI Conference, Melbourne, May 2008
Six Figures had a booth at the AHRI Conference held at the Melbourne Convention Centre. The conference was a great opportunity to meet with a lot of HR professionals from the corporate world, in addition to many educational institutions and government departments. The uptake by educational institutions using Six Figures has been very high and is evidence of how progressive the education sector is. Also, we were told our showbags were the most sought after at the Conference!
Australiasian Talent Conference, Sydney, March 2008
Six Figures had one of the most popular stands at this year's Australasian Talent Conference (ATC) in Sydney, which was a tremendous success. With top speakers on talent attraction and retention from around the globe and many innovative and highly regarded businesses there to find out about the future of talent acquisition the enthusiasm was in the air about the new face of hiring.
Six Figures Member lunch
Last month's member lunch with James Tuckerman was won by Six Figures Member Ben, who had this to say about the experience:
"Thanks to Six Figures, my Wednesday lunchtime last week was a fair bit more inventive than usual. I am not sure whether it was weirder for James Tuckerman or for me - meeting a complete stranger for lunch to talk about ... what? However we both seemed to get over that quickly enough, presented with an appropriately creative menu. James said that he had never "been a prize" before, which was fine because I have never "won a date" before; even a business one.
James was easy company and it turned out that in creative thinking we had at least a common conceit. James is living proof that not much is impossible if you both really want it and can articulate the steps you need to make it happen - breaking the problem down into bite sized chunks (as we were doing to the melt-in-the-mouth steak in front of us).
James flattered my observation about the marketing guy being responsible mainly for reminding the executive team that their customer doesn't know as much about their business as they do!...a simple truth that I'm hoping makes it into the Anthill. The meeting was a very worthwhile experience and I hope James got something out of it too, other than one more Anthillian."

2. Our goals & vision
Six Figures is working towards moving the recruitment process from the industrial age into the information and technology age.

We are looking to work with advertisers to share more transparent and detailed information with job seekers, and to look to hire on potential rather than outdated matching processes.

We have experienced an exciting and challenging time and have all enjoyed working together to build our site that will revolutionise online job seeking.

Being a start up business, we have limited financial information available. We are a private company and have a group of successful and experienced private investors behind us.
5. Business products/services
Businesses advertising positions with Six Figures are provided with a dynamic, interactive, customisable business profile that sells their employee value proposition 24/7 and consolidates their job opportunities in one place.

Six Figures members receive an exclusive employment service, including access to upfront detailed job information, salary and benefits, and comprehensive business profiles. They also have their own profile that communicates their career requirements and aspirations beyond a traditional resume, ultimately opening up the career opportunities for them and the talent pool for employers. 6.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions and their answers
Q. What constitutes a six figure salary package?
A six figure salary package is defined as any quantifiable dollar sum that totals $100,000. This could be represented as: $80,000K base plus 9% superannuation ($7,200), a laptop valued at $2,800 and a $10,000 car allowance. It can also include guaranteed bonuses and commissions, petrol allowances, education, health care, etc.
What would not be accepted as a six figure salary package would be a $45,000 base with an OTE of $120,000 as this is not likely to be feasible. Nor do we accept salaries that say "Earn up to ...", as these can be misleading.
Q. What are the main differences between Six Figures different and other job sites?
Six Figures is a niche job site that is exclusively for six figure package jobs. The large general sites cater for all jobs, across all industries and salary levels. Research now shows that a niche site provides employers with a more effective sourcing channel than traditional print and generalist sites.
Six Figures has a targeted audience of job seekers, who receive an exclusive service when they become Members of the site. Other job sites don't offer a Membership service as they are volume and transaction based. Six Figures is the only online site that is equally service focussed towards the employer and job seeker.
Q. Advertising a position on Six Figures takes more time than other job sites. Why is this the case?
Unlike Six Figures, other job sites do not have standards around the quality, relevance or legitimacy of information being placed on their site. Six Figures is focussed on sharing more information upfront between employers and job seekers. Providing genuine, relevant and detailed information does require more time upfront; however, it assists in attracting more relevant applications and saves time during the recruitment process. That being said, we offer a Quick Start position process that allows you to enter the minimum information for a job ad on one page.
Q. How does Six Figures interface with HRIS and eRecruit Solutions such as Taleo and PageUp?
Currently Six Figures is a stand alone site and does not interface with these solutions. However, we will shortly be integrated with eQuest, and are investigating how to interface with other relevant providers in the near future.
Q. Our business does not have the time or information to complete the business profile. Can we still advertise our jobs on the site?
Completing the business profile is optional. However, today's educated and savvy job seekers are looking to make an informed decision on whether or not they apply for a position with a business, and to do so require more information upfront about the job and the employer to base their decision upon. High salary earners in particular are increasingly reluctant to go through agencies and generalist job sites for this very reason, as frequently little information is made available about the employer. If a business cannot complete the mandatory fields in the business profile section to publish their profile, we ask that they contact us for assistance on 1300 780 177.
Q. Our business is still unsure about the effectiveness of multimedia and Web 2.0. Can we still advertise on the site even though we don't use any multimedia?
Six Figures acknowledges that Web 2.0 is still very new for most businesses. Many are struggling to understand what it is and how to utilise it in their business, particularly when it comes to attracting job seekers. Businesses do not have to use the multimedia features on the site and can simply use text and insert their business logo if that is what they are comfortable with. We do however encourage and support businesses to start looking at utilising new media if they want to attract top talent. Just as businesses want to hire the talent with the best skills and experience, the top job seekers want to work for progressive businesses that are also up to speed with the latest business practises, standards, ethics and technology.
Q. Our business is already locked into advertising agreements with other job sites. Do you lock your clients into agreements?
Six Figures offers you a variety of advertising options, including a standard ad, ad packages and unlimited advertising. Businesses make the choice based on their hiring needs and budgets. We do have the option for businesses to enter into an agreement which is very beneficial for them, particularly as the business can have their live multimedia business profile working for them all year, where they can advertise upcoming positions as well as business news and their employer brand to attract active and passive talent.
Six Figures is a niche site for your high salary positions only and we understand that you will have a number of agreements in place with the generalist mainstream sites.
Q. How do we contact Members of Six Figures?
Six Figures is not a resume mining service, whereby you can go onto the site and search Member details and make contact. Only when you advertise a job and you receive applications from Members for your job can you view their profile and make contact. Any Member that applies for your job can be contacted however we encourage you to take note of their preferred contact times and form of contact before doing so.
Q. If we hire two people who we have short-listed from a job we advertise on Six Figures, do we have to pay a fee?
When you advertise a job on Six Figures and receive applications from Members you only pay to advertise the job. You can contact all of the Members who apply for your job and should you hire two of them, you do not have to pay an additional fee.
Q. How many user accounts can a business have on the site?
Each business can only have one user account.
Q. How do you guarantee the suitability of the Members who apply for jobs with us?
We cannot ever guarantee that you only receive suitable applications for your jobs. The word 'suitable' is very subjective and impossible to measure, particularly when dealing with people and jobs. Simialrly, we cannot guarantee Members that every job and business they apply for is going to be successful and the right one for them. However, Six Figures does offer businesses and job seekers a trusted online site where they can share information and connect in privacy. Not every connection will result in a hire. Our focus and goal is that every Member that connects with your business has a positive experience, even if they are not successful in securing the job.
Q. What is the value in having a Business Profile on Six Figures?
Today's six figure job seekers are likened to high-end consumers. They are just as interested in the job as they are in the business it is with. More importantly, they want to know what the business does and what they will do for them. With 59% of job seekers going online to look for employment, many businesses don't offer a very compelling or engaging online employer branding story to interest job seekers to apply.
Six Figures offers businesses the platform to sell their online employer brand in a way that appeals to today's job seekers. We provide and manage the platform and give your business the tools and support to feed the information into, using the latest Web 2.0 technology. It is simple, cost effective and most importantly it works.
Q. Can other businesses see our business profile?
Businesses cannot see other business' profiles, unless an individual from that business is registered as a Member and logs into the site to explicitly search for businesses.
Q. At the six figures salary package end, don't most of these people find jobs through their networks and print media?
In the past this may have been true, however today with everything moving online it is inevitable that the recruitment process should follow. CareerOne recently had statistics that last year in Australia 51% of people found their job online. So the old myths are no longer true. Networks and employee referral schemes will always be the most effective way for sourcing talent, with research showing that niche job sites followed by generalist job sites are the next most effective sources of talent. Print media is now a very ineffective sourcing channel, even for high end positions.
Q. What support do you offer businesses advertising on the site?
Businesses advertising on Six Figures have access to a Help Desk service during business hours, with each business having their own dedicated National Account Executive to assist with developing your business profile, job ads and other queries that arise.
Q. How do you protect the privacy of businesses advertising on the site?
Businesses advertising on Six Figures disclose information at their discretion. We don't ask businesses to disclose information that would not be made public at other times. Information about a business, such as what they do, their people and culture, and benefits of working with the business, are provided for the purpose of attracting the interest of Members who are looking to be more informed, before they apply.
