How it works
Our matching method, in plain English. We use AI to compare your CV against every ANZSCO code, and rank the top 5 with confidence scores and explanations. We never give migration advice.
What this tool does
You upload a CV. We extract your duties, skills, and titles. We compare that against every ANZSCO 2022 occupation description and rank the top 5 codes that best fit your experience. You get scores, plain-English explanations, the relevant assessing body, and visa-list facts for each match — all sourced publicly (see /sources).
What this tool does NOT do
- It does not lodge visa applications.
- It does not predict whether your application will succeed.
- It does not provide migration advice, legal advice, or financial advice.
- It does not tell you what visa to apply for or what your migration strategy should be.
For advice, consult a Registered Migration Agent (Australia, MARA) or a Licensed Immigration Adviser (New Zealand, IAA). Both jurisdictions also allow qualified immigration lawyers.
How matching works (three steps)
Read your CV.
We use a large-language-model to extract structured information from your CV: roles held, duties performed, skills demonstrated, seniority signals, and qualifications listed. The CV file itself is stored privately on your account; we don't train models on it (see /privacy).
Compare against every ANZSCO code.
Every ANZSCO 2022 occupation has an official description from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. We compute semantic similarity between your CV and every one of the 1,076 occupation descriptions, then retrieve the closest 20 candidates.
Rerank with full reasoning.
A second model evaluates each candidate against your profile on five dimensions — title alignment, duty overlap, skill-level fit, seniority match, and credentials evidence — and produces a 0–100 confidence score with a plain-English explanation, plus a structured list of CV strengths and gaps.
Where the data comes from
All occupation data, visa-list memberships, shortage ratings, employment projections, and assessing-body assignments come from public sources — primarily the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Department of Home Affairs, Immigration New Zealand, Jobs and Skills Australia, and the official skills-assessment authorities. The full list is at /sources. Every fact in a match result carries an as-of date and a link back to the source.
Information only, never advice
We're an information tool, not a migration agent. We surface facts — your CV says X; ANZSCO 2022 occupation Y has Z assessor; visa list W includes that code as of date V — we don't tell you what visa to apply for or whether you'll succeed. The gaps we identify are CV-focused ("no evidence of formal qualification in your CV"), not migration-route-focused. This is a hard product rule, not a copy preference.
Limitations
- Some niche or hybrid roles don't map cleanly to a single ANZSCO code. The tool returns the closest matches with confidence scores; low scores are your signal to seek expert advice.
- Accuracy is higher for well-structured CVs. The dashboard shows a readability score so you can see how much signal the model had to work with.
- Skills assessment outcomes depend on more than the ANZSCO code — qualifications, work history, English level, fees, and the specific assessment authority's policies all matter. The tool helps you identify the code; it doesn't navigate the assessment.
- Visa lists and shortage data change. We re-verify when their versions change, but you should always cross-check the linked source before making a decision.
