Challenging the Unspoken Hiring
Practices in Australia
From feedback silence to 'local experience' bias – WorkPro’s whitepaper ‘Challenging the Unspoken Hiring Practices in Australia’ exposes the barriers holding great candidates back. Download it now.
A must-read for recruiters and job-seekers.
Hiring in Australia is more complex than it appears. While employers continue to search for talent, thousands of qualified candidates are still left waiting.
At WorkPro, we asked over 2,000 job seekers - migrants, long-term residents, and Australian-born professionals - about their real-life experiences navigating the job market. What we uncovered was a hiring process riddled with invisible barriers, silent rejections, and biases that too often go unchecked.
This whitepaper explores:
- How "local experience" is becoming a barrier to job entry.
- The feedback gap, and how improving communication can benefit everyone.
- How informal networks are shaping who gets hired and who gets ignored.
- What employers and recruiters can do to remove blind spots and find real talent.
The data tells a clear story: being qualified is no longer enough. And it’s time we faced that head-on.
If you’re hiring or trying to get hired, this is the perspective you can’t afford to miss.
