Reach more candidates with compliant multi-channel job advertising

Australian public sector organisations have a statutory duty to advertise vacancies. Flowxtra posts to APS Jobs, SEEK, Indeed Australia, state government job boards and 50+ other boards in one click, each posting formatted for its destination.

Reduce time-to-hire without compromising APS merit principles

Australian public sector hiring takes 16+ weeks on average. Flowxtra streamlines shortlisting, scheduling and candidate communication so your panel can focus on evaluation rather than logistics — cutting time-to-hire without cutting corners on merit.

  • Automated scheduling for structured interviews and assessment centres
  • Candidate status updates keep applicants informed — fewer withdrawals and review requests
  • Workforce diversity reports generated automatically — APS Workforce Strategy aligned

Job filters built for Australian government roles — not generic HR software

Generic HR software doesn't know the difference between Baseline, NV1 and NV2 security clearance, or why APS5 needs different selection criteria than EL1. Flowxtra lets your team define exact filters for AGSVA clearance, APS classification and agency — so only appropriately vetted candidates enter your pipeline.

  • Candidates declare security clearance level and role category at application
  • Filter by department type (council, NHS, police) before shortlisting
  • Career page shows public sector filters — candidates apply to the right department directly
