Hi, I'm Eli 👋
ELI · ONE OF ANZ'S MOST TRUSTED TECH CAREER COACHES
I'm a Principal Tech Recruiter, and I run Careersy. I coach tech professionals across ANZ from inside the hiring machine, not from outside it.
FROM INSIDE THE HIRING MACHINE
I've sat on both sides of the table.
For 13 years I've been on the hiring side of ANZ tech, the side that decides. I've sat through more than 5,000 interview hours and read past 26,000 resumes, and the pattern never changed: the people who got cut rarely got cut on ability. They got cut because nobody in the room could read what they were actually capable of.
Those 13 years span every major hiring environment in ANZ tech. Agency recruitment, hiring for banks and household names. Technology consulting. A hypergrowth fintech. And today big tech, partnering with engineering leaders on some of the region's most complex technical hiring. Each one taught me something different about how hiring decisions actually get made, and why good people get missed.
That's the whole reason Careersy exists. I'm still in those rooms today, so what I show you isn't theory from someone who left recruiting a decade ago. It's what's happening to your application this week.
In a coaching session, I'll show you the live recruiter search and the ATS scorecard your application actually triggers, the screens candidates never get to see.
Clients have cleared a full technical loop off a single hour, landed multiple offers in six weeks on a temp visa, and negotiated $10k+ onto an offer.

MY MISSION
Why Careersy Coaching Exists
I started Careersy because I kept watching smart, capable people get stuck. Not because they lacked skill, but because they lacked strategy.
- Engineers sending out hundreds of applications and hearing nothing back.
- Career switchers with real potential getting ghosted because their resume didn't fit the mould.
- Mid-career developers unsure how to position themselves for growth, or negotiate what they're really worth.
None of them were doing anything wrong. They just couldn't see the machine from the inside. Since launching Careersy Coaching in 2021, the goal has stayed the same:
Help tech professionals in Australia and New Zealand land roles faster, with more clarity, confidence, and control.
Real systems, recruiter-side insight, and coaching built around your situation. Nothing recycled.
