Short answer: Not for Australian jobs, for now. Jobright is an AI job search copilot that matches you to jobs, fills in applications and suggests insider referrals, and it currently lists US-based jobs only. If you're job hunting in the US, it's worth a look. In Australia or New Zealand, Sidedoor finds jobs that fit you and tells you who's hiring for each one.
Key points
- Jobright lists US jobs. On 25 October 2026 its App Store listing said "Jobright currently lists U.S.-based roles only". Jobright has said it plans to expand, so check before you rule it out.
- What it's good at: matching you to jobs from major job boards and company sites, autofilling applications, tailoring your resume, and suggesting alumni or ex-colleagues who could refer you.
- Sidedoor works differently: it watches the recruiters and hiring managers in your field on LinkedIn, combines their posts with job listings, and shows who's hiring for each job. It doesn't apply for you or tailor resumes.
- Prices: Jobright has a free version; its paid prices weren't on a public page when we checked. Sidedoor is A$10 for 14 days or A$69 for 90 days, paid once (buying opens after the beta).

What Jobright does well
Jobright puts several tools in one place. It matches you to jobs "you're truly qualified for", with match scores based on your skills and goals, and job alerts. It autofills application forms "across all major ATS platforms", tailors your resume to each job, and has an AI copilot for career advice and interview practice (Jobright).
Its insider connections are a genuinely good idea. Referrals work: a person inside the company who vouches for you can lift you out of the pile. Jobright looks for alumni and former colleagues at the companies you're applying to and gives you message templates to start the conversation (Jobright blog, June 2025).
If you're applying for US jobs, especially at tech companies with online application forms, that combination saves a lot of typing.
Where it falls short for a job hunt in Australia
Its jobs are US jobs. Jobright's App Store listing says it "currently lists U.S.-based roles only" (App Store, October 2026). Its own blog said in 2025 that it "focuses on the U.S. market" and was gearing up to expand. Until that changes, the matching, alerts and autofill don't have Australian jobs to work on.
Referrals depend on your network. Insider connections help when you have alumni or ex-colleagues at the company. For many Australian jobs, especially through agencies, the person deciding is a recruiter you've never met. A referral route doesn't tell you who that is (here's how to find them).
Faster applying is still applying. Autofill and auto-apply make it quicker to join the pile of applicants. They don't get you in front of the person who decides the shortlist. (More on that in Are auto-apply tools worth it?)
What Sidedoor does differently
Sidedoor covers Australia and New Zealand during its beta, and it works from the people hiring rather than only the job boards.
You tell Sidedoor the job you want and where. It finds the recruiters who specialise in your field, checks their LinkedIn posts every day, and combines them with job listings into one feed of jobs that fit you. Each job shows who's hiring: the recruiter who posted it, or "Someone hiring" when the poster isn't a recruiter. When a recruiter published their email or phone in their own posts, you see it with a confidence label.
Found a job somewhere else? Paste the link (LinkedIn, SEEK, Greenhouse or Lever, or paste the ad) and Sidedoor works out whether it's hired in-house or through an agency, and suggests up to three likely hiring managers and up to three in-house recruiters, with the reasons.
Your search learns as you use it. Mark a job "Not for me" and say why, or show it a job you wanted, and it adjusts.
It doesn't need your LinkedIn login, and it never applies or sends messages for you.
That matters because in Australia a lot of hiring happens through people. In 2025, 12% of employers who recruited were approached directly by job seekers, and most of those employers hired one of them (Jobs and Skills Australia, 2026). That approach is most common for lower-skilled jobs, so it's a signal, not a promise.
Can you use both?
Only if you're looking in both countries. If you're open to US jobs as well as Australian ones, Jobright covers the US side and Sidedoor the Australian and New Zealand side. For a job hunt in Australia only, Jobright doesn't yet have the jobs, so there's little to combine.
Whichever tool you use, the next step is the same: reach the person. A connection request with a short note on LinkedIn is enough for most recruiters. If you're thinking of paying for LinkedIn to do that, read Is LinkedIn Premium worth it for job seekers in Australia? first.
Price compared
Jobright has a free version, and paid upgrades whose prices it shows in the app. It didn't publish job-seeker prices on a public page when we checked on 25 October 2026, so we can't compare them like with like here. Check the price in the app before you subscribe.
