Why 3 in 4 Australian resumes never get read
Whether you're applying for a grad role at a Big 4 bank, a nursing position at a major hospital network, or a teaching role through the Department of Education — an algorithm is reading your resume first.
Use Standard Headings
Australian ATS platforms like PageUp (used by NSW Government, Woolworths, ANZ) scan for exact section headings. Use 'Work Experience', 'Education', 'Skills' — not creative alternatives.
Mirror the Job Description
Seek and LinkedIn ATS rank your application higher when your resume uses the same keywords as the job ad. If it says 'stakeholder management', use that exact phrase — not 'relationship management'.
Avoid Tables, Columns & Graphics
Most Australian ATS systems (iCIMS, Workday, Taleo) can't parse multi-column layouts or tables. Stick to single-column formats — which is exactly how our templates are built.
Submit as .docx First
Many Australian employers (Big 4 banks, government roles, healthcare systems) prefer .docx over PDF because some ATS systems extract text better from Word files. Always have both ready.
How ATS works across Australian industries
🏥 Healthcare & Nursing
NSW Health, Monash Health, and Queensland Health use PageUp. Nursing positions receive 200+ applications — ATS filters before any recruiter sees a single resume. Use exact clinical terminology and registration details.
💻 Tech & IT
Atlassian, Canva, REA Group, and most scale-ups use Greenhouse or Lever. These systems are highly tuned for technical keywords. List specific languages, frameworks, and certifications by name — not by category.
🎓 Education & Universities
Australian universities and state education departments use Workday or Chris21. Teacher applications need AITSL standard alignment and state teacher registration numbers parsed correctly.
⚙️ Engineering & Infrastructure
Major infrastructure firms and mining companies (BHP, Rio Tinto, John Holland) use SAP SuccessFactors. Engineering roles need exact qualifications (NER, CPEng, MIEAust) to pass filters.
🏦 Finance & Banking
Commonwealth Bank, NAB, ANZ, and Westpac all use Taleo or Workday. Compliance and risk roles require exact credential names (CPA, CA ANZ, FRM) — abbreviations sometimes fail to match.
🎓 University Graduates
Grad programs at Big 4 firms, banks, and government all use ATS scoring. A GPA score, relevant units, and internship keywords matter more than formatting. Keep it clean and keyword-dense.
🏪 Retail & Casual
Woolworths, Coles, and major hospitality groups use an internal ATS or Dayforce. Even casual roles are filtered — availability, RSA certification, and customer service keywords need to be explicit.
🏛️ Government & Public Sector
All federal and state government roles use AusTender or PageUp. Responses must address selection criteria explicitly. Bullet-point evidence under each criterion — never just a paragraph.
A great template is just the start. AI does the rest.
Getting past ATS requires more than a clean format — it requires the right keywords for each specific job. Jobs Sniper analyses your resume against any job on Seek or LinkedIn and tells you exactly what's missing.
