About Us
Our mission is to simplify the hiring process for the hospitality industry.
We do this by taking the pain out of finding and selecting talent so you can focus on the rest of your business.

Vidaura emerged from the frustrations of the recruitment industry, which struggled to connect young job seekers with meaningful work using traditional CVs and cover letters.
Recognising an opportunity that others overlooked, we identified a demand for entry-level positions where employers valued qualities like passion, energy, and a positive attitude over formal qualifications.
Based on 12 months of extensive research and interviews, Vidaura was launched in February 2020 as the pioneering video-based job board for the hospitality industry, addressing the need for a more personalised and dynamic approach to job applications.
Why Vidaura?
Vidaura helps you showcase the culture, vibe, and perks of your business and connects you with the talent you want through the power of video.
Trial an employee and hire when ready.
We do the leg work.
Setting up your brand with Vidaura means we represent you in your top-of-funnel recruitment efforts and deliver high-quality candidates at scale for your business.
Leave the leg work to us so you can focus on managing the job and reviewing the talent.
We handle the omni-channel marketing, build relationships with hospitality schools, and deal with the flood of emails you would otherwise resolve yourself when doing the recruiting.
Our modern recruitment platform filters out the noise and brings to view what traditional CVs miss so you can cut down on administrative time and make better hiring decisions.

✔ You're free to post a job, browse through listings, and watch videos of active job-seekers on our platform.
✔ When you're ready to hire a candidate, you can choose between two options: direct hire or trial candidate.
✔ Direct hire is best if you're ready to take on a candidate permanently. If you only want to hire a candidate for a set period of time, trialling a candidate is your best choice as we handle payroll, insurances and workers compensation while they are with you.
✔ For direct hires, there is a one time fee of $199 + GST invoiced 7 days after they start. On the other hand, trial candidates are charged at their hourly rate + 12% + (on costs).
✔ Your very first direct hire is free! After two weeks, you can also take a trial candidate as a permanent employee with no additional fees.
