For Job Seekers in Australia 🇦🇺
Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are tightly competitive job markets, and every major Australian employer runs CVs through ATS engines before any recruiter sees them. See exactly what the parser extracts from your CV — free, in under 30 seconds.
Australia's relatively concentrated economy means a small number of large employers absorb a disproportionate share of white-collar hiring. The Big Four banks (CBA, Westpac, NAB, ANZ), the mining majors (BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue), the telcos (Telstra, Optus, TPG), the retail giants (Woolworths, Coles, Wesfarmers, Bunnings), and the tech standouts (Atlassian, Canva, Afterpay, Xero, REA Group, Carsales) collectively run ATS-routed hiring for the majority of skilled white-collar roles.
The dominant parsers are Workday (CBA, Westpac, ANZ, NAB, BHP, Telstra, Woolworths, Qantas), SAP SuccessFactors (Wesfarmers, Coles, mining sector), Oracle Taleo (older enterprise deployments), and Greenhouse / Lever (Atlassian, Canva, Afterpay, most Australian tech startups). Seek, Australia's dominant job board, also runs its own keyword search filtering on top of employer ATSes.
Australia's unique filtering signal: Right to Work status. Every major Australian employer filters for visa status as a hard compliance check. Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents are weighted highest; 482 / 186 / 187 visa holders are next; Working Holiday and Student visa holders typically apply only to roles open to those categories. Listing your status clearly in your CV contact section is essential — both for ATS keyword matching and recruiter screening.
Every Australian recruiter checks this within 5 seconds of opening a CV. Templates from the UK or US often omit it because it's not a US/UK convention. For Australian applications, place a clear line in your contact section: 'Right to Work: Australian Citizen' or 'Right to Work: Permanent Resident' or 'Right to Work: 482 Visa (Skilled — Engineering)'. The parser indexes this as a hard filter signal.
Same problem as everywhere else — Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Greenhouse all read left-to-right by row, scrambling your work history. Single-column only. The Seek template builder still defaults to two-column in some flows — switch.
Australian public-sector applications (APS, state government) often require formal selection criteria responses — but these belong in a SEPARATE document, not embedded in your CV. Many candidates make the mistake of stuffing selection criteria responses into their CV bullets. This bloats the CV beyond ATS-friendly length AND confuses parsers about job-bullet structure. Keep them separate.
Australian convention (DD/MM/YYYY) is parsed inconsistently by Workday and Greenhouse, which default to US MM/DD/YYYY expectations. 'Mar 2022 – Aug 2024' or 'March 2022 – August 2024' eliminates the ambiguity completely. Don't use slash-separated numeric dates if you want your work history correctly attributed to the right years.
Australian CVs traditionally end with 'References: Available on request' — but in 2026 this line wastes valuable real estate. ATSes don't extract anything from it, and recruiters assume references are available regardless. Skip the line entirely. Use the saved space for an additional quantified bullet on your most recent role.
