New jobs features in MyMSD
02 July 2026.
We've added some features in MyMSD to help job seekers with their job search.
Login to your MyMSD account to update your Jobseeker profile, even if you've completed your profile before.
Once you have told us more about your skills and work experience, we can start matching you to jobs that suit you.
Then you can apply for jobs online at any time, day or night – no need to call us. We will follow up to talk through next steps or let you know the outcome.
View transcript of 'Jobseeker profile and job matching' video
Narrator [0:00] Looking for work can feel hard, but with my MSD Jobs, we match you to work that suits you, and you can apply online anytime.
[The words “Jobseeker profile and job matching” next to a woman giving the thumbs up. A cellphone screen shows the log in screen and home page of MyMSD Jobs website.]
Narrator [0:10] To get started, you'll need to create a Jobseeker profile.
[The words “Get started by setting up your Jobseeker profile.” next to screenshot of the MyMSD Jobs website homepage. A cellphone screen shows the log in screen and home page of MyMSD Jobs website.]
Narrator [0:13] This is where you tell us about your skills, work experience, and the kind of mahi you are looking for.
[Three tick boxes with the words “Skills”, “Experience” and “Work I want to do”, and a cursor ticking each one.]
Narrator [0:20] Once your profile is complete, we use the information you've told us to match you with jobs listed on My MSD jobs.
[A woman sitting at a desk turns and smiles at the camera. The words “Profile complete” appear and a cursor ticks a box next to it. A list of jobs advertised in MyMSD Jobs appears, and scrolls.]
Narrator [0:27] When you match with a job, you'll also be able to see how closely you match with it. The more you tell us in your job seeker profile, the better your matches will be.
[A cellphone with a job listing on it, showing the label “Strong match” which is expanded on the screen. A list with the heading “Jobseeker profile” and tick boxes next to it, which the cursor ticks]
Narrator [0:37] Remember to keep your profile up to date so you get better job matches. To find mahi that suits you, head to my MSD jobs to search, match, and apply.
