I've spent 15 years in recruitment helping mining candidates get hired. Now I help job seekers present themselves properly before they apply.

I'm Martyn Hill, founder of Hill Work Skills Australia. My background isn't traditional resume writing. It's recruitment. 15 years of it, with a heavy focus on blue-collar mining across Western Australia and the broader Australian resources sector.

Across my career, I've reviewed more than 50,000 CVs and placed an average of 135–150 candidates per year — over 2,175 mining placements across 15 years in the industry.

That experience has given me a very practical view of what works. I know what recruiters scan for. I know what hiring managers question. I know where good candidates undersell themselves. I know how quickly a strong application can stand out, and how quickly a weak one can be missed.

Hill Work Skills was built to give job seekers access to that insight before they apply. The aim isn't to make your CV sound fancy. The aim is to make your experience clear, relevant, credible and easier to shortlist.
