Hiring in Sydney

Sydney hiring is spread across professional services, construction, health, logistics in the west and a very large hospitality and retail sector.

Travel time is taken seriously by employers here, so name your suburb and the areas you can reasonably reach.

Wherever you apply in NSW, the same rules hold: list only the tickets and checks you actually hold, use Australian spelling, and keep your suburb and work rights near the top so a recruiter can place you immediately.

Local details worth getting right

  • Write your suburb and NSW rather than just the city name
  • State your work rights plainly — citizen, permanent resident or visa type
  • List state-issued tickets with the state they were issued in
  • Say how far you are willing to travel, and whether you drive
  • Give real availability, including shift and weekend work
