A Working Holiday Visa (WHV) lets young travellers live and work in another country for an extended period — typically 1–2 years. Many countries offer them, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, Japan, and most of Europe. On your profile you can select every country where you currently hold or are eligible for a WHV. Employers will then be able to find you specifically when searching for WHV holders, and jobs that qualify for regional work requirements (such as Australia's 88-day rule for a second-year extension) are clearly labelled in search results.

To apply for a second-year Working Holiday Visa in Australia (subclass 417 or 462), you must complete 88 days of specified work in a regional area — such as farm work, fruit picking, fishing, construction, or hospitality in a regional location. A third-year visa requires 179 days. On seasonal.work, jobs that qualify are marked 'WHV Eligible' so you can filter for them directly.

Register as an employer, complete your company profile, then click 'Post a Job' from your dashboard. You can add photos, and on Pro and Business plans, a short video specific to the role.

Yes. Once a candidate applies you can start a conversation with them from the Messages section. On Pro and Business plans you can also invite candidates who haven't applied yet, directly from the Candidate Directory.

The Candidate Directory is available on Pro and Business plans. It lets you browse and filter public seeker profiles by skill, location, availability, and Working Holiday Visa country — so you can find exactly the right candidates for your region and role.

Your Analytics dashboard shows total views, application counts, and conversion rates across all your listings, a per-job breakdown, an applications trend chart, and a full hiring pipeline funnel by status.

Yes. You can upload a company video in Settings — it appears on every job listing you post and on your company profile page. On Pro and Business plans you can also add a short video specific to each individual job posting.

If your business is in a regional area and the role qualifies for Working Holiday Visa regional work requirements (such as Australia's 88-day rule), marking it as 'WHV Eligible' when posting makes your listing visible to seekers specifically filtering for qualifying work. This is one of the most in-demand filters among international seasonal workers, so marking eligible roles significantly expands your applicant pool.

Over 30 countries operate WHV programmes. The most popular for seasonal workers are Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Japan, South Korea, and most EU countries including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. seasonal.work supports all of them — seekers can tag their profile with every country they're eligible for, and employers can filter candidates by WHV country.

No. seasonal.work is open to anyone looking for seasonal work, regardless of visa status. The WHV filters are an optional tool for those who hold or are eligible for Working Holiday Visas and for employers who specifically want to hire WHV holders.

On the Jobs page, open the Filters panel and toggle 'WHV Eligible Roles'. You'll see only listings that employers have confirmed qualify for regional work requirements such as Australia's 88-day rule.

We list seasonal opportunities worldwide, with a strong focus on Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the US.

Use the Contact page to report any listing that seems fraudulent or misleading. We review all reports promptly.

You can delete your account directly from your dashboard — go to your Profile (seekers) or Settings (employers) and scroll to the Delete Account section at the bottom.

The 'Right to Work' refers to your legal authorization to work in a specific country, such as citizenship, permanent residency, or an existing open work permit. On your seeker profile, you can select every country where you have these rights. This helps employers in those countries find you quickly, as you won't require additional visa sponsorship for their roles.

Employers can list specific visa and permit types they are willing to support for each job. Look for the 'Right to Work' badges on job listings. If an employer supports sponsorship for your nationality or visa class, it will be clearly displayed. You can also filter the Candidate Directory (for employers) to find seekers who already have the right to work in your region.

Yes, you can apply for any job. However, we highly recommend completing the 'Work Authorization' section of your profile. If you indicate you represent a certain country's right to work, you'll be significantly more likely to be contacted by employers in that region. If you need sponsorship, look for roles explicitly marked as supporting sponsorship.

A Working Holiday Visa (WHV) is typically a self-applied permit for young travellers (usually 18–30 or 35) to work temporarily. Sponsored Employment is where an employer's business 'sponsors' your specific visa (like an H-2B in the US or a Skilled Worker visa in the UK). seasonal.work supports both — seekers can tag their WHV eligibility and their existing Work Rights separately, and employers can filter for both.

Sponsorship is most common in high-demand seasonal sectors such as healthcare, skilled trades (construction, mechanics), and specialized hospitality roles (head chefs, hotel management). However, many agricultural employers also offer seasonal worker sponsorship programs (like the H-2A in the US) for which we have dedicated filters.

Sponsorship costs vary significantly by country and visa type. In many cases, employers are responsible for the sponsorship petition fees, while candidates may need to cover their own personal application fees and travel. We recommend discussing these details early in the interview process. seasonal.work does not charge any placement or sponsorship fees to seekers.
