For skilled candidates moving to Australia

You've applied to dozens of roles in Australia. You're qualified. You're experienced. And you're still waiting.

The Australian hiring system works differently to what you've come from. Nobody gives you the manual. Land Your Aussie Job is that manual.

You're not doing this half-heartedly.

You've updated your CV. You've set up job alerts. You've applied to roles you're more than qualified for. You've waited. Refreshed your inbox. Waited some more.

And when you do hear back, it's a generic rejection, or worse, complete silence.

It's demoralising. Especially when you've built a solid career, delivered real results, and proved yourself in competitive markets. The gap between who you are professionally and what your applications are communicating right now is genuinely painful.

Here's what I want you to know: it's not you. It's not your experience. It's not your ability.

It's the system. And once you understand how it actually works, everything changes.

The problem

The Australian hiring market has its own rules, its own culture, and its own infrastructure.

Most of it is completely invisible to candidates applying from outside. Before a recruiter ever reads your name, your CV has to clear an ATS filter designed for domestic candidates. Your LinkedIn profile is being assessed against local benchmarks you've never seen. Recruiters are being approached the wrong way, if at all.

None of this is your fault. But continuing without understanding it is costing you: time, confidence, and opportunities that are going to someone else. A $10,000 under-salary in your first Australian role doesn't stay at $10,000 — it becomes the baseline your next negotiation starts from.

Trying harder without changing the approach doesn't increase traction. It just increases exhaustion.

Introducing

Land Your Aussie Job.

A complete hiring system built specifically for international professionals navigating the Australian job market. Not generic career advice. Not a CV template. A structured, step-by-step program that takes you through exactly what to do, in what order, to go from invisible to interview-ready.

This is the program I wish had existed when I arrived in Australia. I built it after 13 years working inside the hiring system: as a recruiter, talent acquisition specialist, and the person who decided which CVs moved forward and which ones didn't. I know what works here because I've seen what works here.

Fast traction

Within the first two modules, you'll have:

  • A clear picture of how the Australian hiring market actually operates: the structure, the culture, the norms, and the gaps most international candidates fall into
  • Your positioning defined: the specific value you bring, articulated in the language Australian employers and recruiters are looking for
  • A draft Australian CV, built to pass ATS filters and land on the right desks

By the end of the full program

A complete hiring toolkit: CV, LinkedIn, recruiter strategy, interview prep, and salary clarity — plus a step-by-step plan to execute it.

Is this for you?

This program is for you if:

  • You're an international professional planning a move to Australia, or already here and struggling to gain traction
  • You have solid experience in your field but your applications aren't converting to interviews
  • You've been applying the same job search approach you used at home, and it's not working here
  • You want a structured system, not scattered advice
  • You're ready to implement as you go. This isn't passive watching.

This program isn't for you if:

  • You want someone to do it for you (that's the LYAJ Intensive)
  • You need visa advice. LYAJ covers employment strategy only, not immigration pathways
  • You've already landed your role and just need onboarding support
  • You're not willing to put in the work. The system is clear, but it requires implementation

The difference isn't talent. It's the system.

Where you are now

  • Applying to roles and hearing nothing
  • Updating your CV without knowing if it's right for this market
  • Approaching recruiters without knowing which ones to target
  • Going to interviews underprepared for the format
  • Accepting offers without knowing if the salary is fair

Where you'll be

  • A CV and LinkedIn profile that work for this market
  • A clear recruiter strategy: the right firms, contacts, and approach
  • Access to the hidden job market
  • Confident in interviews, knowing what employers are actually assessing
  • Clear on your salary range, ready to negotiate it properly

Results

150+ international professionals personally helped by Leigh.

Drawing on almost 13 years inside the Australian hiring system and thousands of candidate interviews. Kept confidential — many participants are still in current roles when they join.

“Moving countries and trying to find work in an unfamiliar market is daunting. Sometimes you just don't know where to start. What I like is that it is simple and broken down into chunks.”

Marius

LYAJ Participant

“After applying for so many roles online without getting anywhere I knew I must have been doing something wrong. I finally connected with the right recruiters, marketed myself correctly and am getting interviews! I'm hoping to be in Aus next year.”

Julie

LYAJ Participant

“I thought all I needed was a good CV in the right format. There's so much more to it. It was really helpful to know how to value myself in the Aussie market, and ask for the right salary for my experience.”

Something most career advice never tells you

Your CV isn't just read. It's filtered.

Before a recruiter sees it, it goes through Applicant Tracking System software calibrated for domestic candidates. If your formatting is off, your terminology doesn't match Australian standards, or your achievements aren't framed the way the system expects, you're eliminated before a human reads your name.

This is why exceptionally qualified candidates send 50 applications and hear back from three.

The fix isn't a better CV template. It's understanding what the system is looking for, specifically, and positioning yourself to clear that filter. That's what Layer 2 of LYAJ covers in detail.

Leigh Duncan, founder of Land Your Aussie Job

Who's behind this?

I've been where you are. I'm an immigrant to Australia too.

Before I started Land Your Aussie Job, I spent 13 years inside the Australian hiring system: recruitment, executive search, talent acquisition. I've reviewed thousands of CVs, interviewed hundreds of candidates, and been the person who decided whether an application moved forward or didn't.

I also moderate communities of over 100,000 expats considering the move to Australia. So I know what this journey looks like from the outside. The confusion. The contradictory advice. The applications that go nowhere despite real capability. LYAJ is what I built from that inside knowledge — not theory, not generic career coaching frameworks, the actual mechanics of how this market works, from someone who ran it.

“I know where the system trips people up. And I know what it takes to get through it.”

Why LYAJ is different

Every module is calibrated for the Australian context.

Most job search advice is built for domestic candidates who already understand the system they're operating in. That advice isn't wrong — it's just not built for your situation. The ATS systems here. The recruiter culture here. The interview format here. The salary norms here.

The LYAJ AI Positioning Engine

Something no off-the-shelf career program has. In one guided session, it extracts your measurable achievements, identifies your Secret Sauce, aligns your CV to real Australian job ads, builds correct Australian CV structure, converts your CV into a recruiter-ready LinkedIn profile, flags employer risk signals, and creates a high-probability application strategy.

It's not a chatbot prompt. It's a structured system built specifically for international candidates positioning for Australian roles.

By the end of this program, you'll have:

A CV that clears Australian ATS filters and lands on recruiter desks

A LinkedIn profile that gets found and taken seriously

A targeted recruiter and talent acquisition strategy

Access to the hidden job market most candidates never reach

Interview answers prepared for the way Australian employers actually assess

Salary clarity and the confidence to negotiate properly

That's not a collection of tips. It's a complete hiring system, built for this market.

Let's address the obvious questions.
