Understanding Your OES Score
OES stands for Overseas Employability Score. It is a single number from 0 upward that shows how ready you are to work overseas. Think of it like a credit score — but for getting a job abroad.
Why your OES matters
- Employers see it. A higher OES means you stand out from other candidates.
- It opens doors. Some jobs are only shown to candidates above a certain score.
- It motivates you. Watching your number grow is a great way to keep going.

What does my score mean?
Your score puts you in a rank. Each rank is a sign of how ready you are. See Ranks explained for the full list and the points needed to reach each one.
Can my score go down?
In most cases, no. Once you earn points for a task, they stay. Some special cases (for example, if a document expires and you do not renew it) can change your status, but the points you have earned do not vanish.
What is the highest possible score?
There is no fixed maximum. The system grows as new tasks are added. The most important thing is to keep moving up — most candidates who get hired are at Top Performer rank or higher.
