Your Journey on the Platform

Register free. Test. Get certified. Get hired.

Your registration is always free. The certified assessments are your investment in a lifetime credential — and the key that makes your profile visible to employers.

FREE
Register

Upload your CV or school results. Set your preferences. Free — always.

PAID
Choose Your Tests

Select individual tests from $149 each, or take the four core assessments for $499 — saving $147.

VERIFIED
Complete & Verify

Online assessments completed at your own pace. 25–30 minutes each. Independently assessed and verified.

LIVE
Earn Certificates

A verified digital certificate added to your profile for each test passed. With QR code. LinkedIn-shareable. Lifetime valid.

HIRED
Employers Find You

Your certified profile goes live. Employers browse, contact you directly, and extend an offer.

Your profile becomes visible to employers the moment you earn your first certificate.

Registration creates your profile — but employers only see certified candidates. This is what makes the platform valuable: every candidate an employer finds has been independently assessed and verified. You do not need all five assessments to be visible — one passed test is enough to unlock your profile. The more certificates you hold, the stronger your profile appears in employer searches.

The STEP Circle of Influence

No career decision is made alone.

Behind every student stepping into the workforce are four closest confidants who shape the journey. Exemplar Talent Connect is built around all of them.

12%

of the first-year base salary plus superannuation, plus GST
Market agencies typically charge 15–25%.

Example: $60,000 base salary + $7,200 superannuation = $67,200
Our fee: 12% of $67,200 = $8,064 + GST ($806.40) = $8,870.40 incl. GST
Agency at 18% of the same package (excl. GST): $12,096
On a $60,000 salary, save over $4,000 a hire.
 90-Day Placement Guarantee
