See salary context on SEEK job results

PayContext is a Chrome extension that helps Australian SEEK job seekers compare roles faster by adding salary details, market pay context, and hiring-source signals to supported SEEK job results.

What PayContext adds to SEEK results

Salary ranges, market context, and hiring-source signals appear directly beside supported SEEK listings.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the salary data come from?

PayContext uses two sources. If a salary is shown in the SEEK listing, PayContext displays that advertiser-provided information. If no salary is disclosed, PayContext may show market salary guidance based on publicly available data sources such as ABS and other public salary references.

How accurate is the salary information?

Advertiser-provided salaries come directly from the listing. Market salary ranges are benchmarks intended to help with comparison and should not be treated as a guaranteed offer for a specific role.

Is salary guidance guaranteed?

No. Market salary context is general guidance only. It is not a guaranteed salary offer, payroll figure, or official tax result for any specific role.

Does PayContext estimate or predict salaries?

PayContext does not generate a guaranteed salary for an individual listing. It either shows salary information disclosed in the listing or adds market context derived from aggregated public data.

Which SEEK pages are supported?

PayContext is designed for supported SEEK search result pages. Some pages, regions, experiments, or listing formats may not show every signal.

Does PayContext send my job browsing activity to external servers?

The browser extension runs locally and does not send your personal SEEK browsing activity to external servers. It uses local browser storage for settings and temporary cached job detail data.

Will this affect how SEEK works?

No. PayContext does not replace SEEK content or interfere with normal browsing. It adds supplementary information to the page so you can review listings more efficiently.

Is it safe to use?

PayContext runs locally in your browser. It does not send your personal information or job browsing activity to external servers, and it only uses the minimum permissions needed for its core functionality.

Why does Chrome show "This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing"?

You may see this message because Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing applies an extra trust check to newer extensions and newer developer accounts. It does not mean PayContext has been marked as unsafe, and it does not mean the extension failed Chrome Web Store review.

PayContext is built with a privacy-first design: it only requests access to supported SEEK pages, does not use remote code, does not collect your personal information, and does not send your job browsing activity to external servers. The extension runs locally in your browser to add salary context and hiring-source signals while you browse SEEK.

If you are comfortable with the permissions shown by Chrome, you can continue installing PayContext. As the extension builds more usage and trust history, this warning may stop appearing for users with Enhanced Safe Browsing enabled.
