About
Sift: Australian job search for careers and gigs
Sift is an Australian job search website for careers and gigs. Instead of handing you another endless list of ads, it reads your profile — your skills, your years of experience, the pay you need and the hours you can work — and scores every open role against it out of 100. You see the strongest matches first, with a short plain-English reason for each score and an honest note about the biggest gap.
Sift is for people who want a straight answer about whether a job is worth applying for. That includes labourers, site crews and machine operators, FIFO and mining workers, retail and warehouse staff, care and support workers, tradies, and people moving into office, admin or customer service roles. It suits anyone changing industries, returning to work, picking up casual and part-time gigs, or applying for their first job in Australia — no degree, no keywords and no cover-letter tricks required.
Employers don't pay to rank higher here, so the order you see is the order that actually suits you. You can browse the full catalogue for free, shortlist the roles you like, and use a one-off 30-day pass when you want AI matching and per-role scoring. Your CV stays private and is only used to fill in your profile.
Sift is built and maintained by a small independent team in Australia. We're not a recruitment agency and we don't pass your details to employers — we build the matching tools and get out of the way.
