Backpacker

For employers

Run your hiring from your pocket.

Backpacker Hire is the business side of A Backpacker's Dream. Post a job, see who's keen, add photos to stand out, and promote your happy hours, events and meetups straight onto backpackers' calendars.

From empty roster to full crew.

Four things the app does for you, in the order you'll use them.

Post a job, live in minutes.

Farm work, hospitality, a one-off shift. Fill in the basics and it's visible to backpackers already searching your region.

  • Pay, start date and what's included, in one form
  • Boost a job to the top of the list when you need people fast
  • Active, draft and closed jobs in one place

See who's applied.

Every applicant lands in one list against the job. No separate inbox, no chasing a phone number down.

  • Experience, availability and work rights at a glance
  • Shortlist or message in one tap
  • New applicants flagged so nobody slips through

Add photos, get seen.

Listings with real photos get more applicants. Paid plans unlock a gallery on your profile, the first thing a backpacker checks before applying.

  • Your cover photo leads every listing
  • A gallery backpackers can browse before applying
  • Get featured at the top of the backpacker home screen

Promote your happy hour. Fill the room.

Post a happy hour, event or meetup as a promotion and it shows up right in the app. When a backpacker says they're in, it's added straight to their calendar, so you get a real headcount.

  • Post happy hours, events or meetups as promotions
  • Backpackers who accept it get it added to their calendar
