About our business
Six Figures is the world's first premium job site that connects high salary earners with genuine six figure jobs, across all industries and professions.
For businesses that have a commitment to quality and excellence, Six Figures offers the opportunity to create a consistent branding experience to effectively sell your employer brand and career opportunities to attract the best talent.
Six figure job seekers are a growing market of time poor individuals who do not wish to browse through generalist job boards and sort out the wheat from the chaff. Six Figures offers this group a trusted online source where they can come and view the best job opportunities with great businesses.
The site is not for everyone, as integrity, communication and a commitment to service excellence are important at Six Figures. We encourage only like minded businesses that are aligned with the values of Six Figures to advertise and partner with us.
Six Figures is working towards moving the recruitment process from the industrial age into the information and technology age. This requires more than new technology, though new technology will assist in the transition. We are looking to work with businesses to share more transparent and detailed information with job seekers, and to look to hire on potential rather than outdated matching processes.
Six Figures has a relatively short business history in relation to the successes that have been achieved to date. Karen Jenkin and Kelly Magowan (the founders of Six Figures) have been developing the concept for over 12 months and working with a terrific development team for about half of this time. We have experienced an exciting and challenging time and have all enjoyed working together to build our site that will revolutionise online hiring.
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.
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. In addition, we offer the most comprehensive job ads, presenting the key information that high salary earners need.
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.
We are recognised for being the only premium online job site in the world, and pioneering a new approach to connecting high salary earners with businesses.
