Writing a great story isn't enough anymore. If your 1-Page Pitch or Statement of Claims doesn't contain the exact literal keywords required by government Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), your application will be filtered out before a panel member ever sees it.
An ATS-friendly Pitch or Statement of Claims is a 500 to 1000-word narrative strictly engineered to pass automated government screening software like PageUp. It weaves your best behavioral evidence (using the STAR method) into a highly targeted document that prioritizes literal phrase matching from the job advertisement and the Integrated Leadership System (ILS). At PS Interview Coach, we extract these mandatory keywords and build compelling, machine-readable arguments that get you shortlisted.
You can have the best experience in the world, but government screening algorithms are rigid. They do not understand nuance. Here is how we engineer your criteria to pass the software:
The ATS performs literal phrase matching. If the ad asks for "policy development" and you write "creating guidelines", you score zero points. We extract and embed the exact terminology.
Federal APS roles use the ILS, while State Governments use entirely different frameworks. Using federal language for a state agency will ruin your keyword score. We map to the correct jurisdiction.
We structure your achievements using precise Situation, Task, Action, Result methodology, ensuring your "Action" verbs perfectly mirror the job's mandatory requirements.
Developed by ex-government hiring managers to guarantee human persuasion and machine readability.
For applications requiring separate, individual responses to specific questions.
The modern APS standard. A cohesive, high-impact narrative statement of claims.
The ultimate toolkit. A flawless Pitch AND an Advanced ATS Strategy Resume.
Traditional selection criteria require you to write a separate response (usually 250-400 words) for each required skill listed in the ad. A pitch (or Statement of Claims) is a single, cohesive document (usually 1 to 2 pages) that weaves all the required skills and STAR examples into one persuasive narrative.
Applicant Tracking Systems like PageUp use "literal phrase matching". This means if the job ad asks for "stakeholder engagement", and your pitch says "relationship management", the ATS will not award you points. Your pitch must contain the exact keywords extracted from the job description.
Yes. While federal APS roles use the ILS, state governments use entirely different frameworks (like the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework). We accurately map your skills to the specific jurisdiction you are applying for to ensure maximum keyword density.
