Ready to Step Into a Candidate Manager Role?

This is a full-time, immediate opportunity for a disciplined, organised, and delivery-focused Candidate Manager to own candidate progression inside a fast-paced, high-performance recruitment firm that has retained market-leading status on the Gold Coast for five consecutive years.

Based in a brand-new, state-of-the-art headquarters in the heart of the Southport business district, this role is designed for someone who thrives in momentum-driven environments, values structure and accountability, and wants ownership over outcomes rather than support-based tasks.

This firm is the most reviewed recruitment agency on the Gold Coast, recognised for its premium service standards, disciplined execution, and sustained leadership in the local market.

The team operates at speed. Decisions are made decisively, communication is clear, and execution is consistent. The pace is high, the standards are higher, and the expectation is ownership.

As a Candidate Manager, you will own the end-to-end candidate journey across live recruitment assignments, ensuring candidate pipelines move efficiently, remain compliant, and deliver outcomes without friction.

This role suits someone who enjoys urgency, thrives on structure, and takes pride in delivery precision and accountability.

With a design-led office fit-out, onsite parking, and exposure to senior-level operations, this is a genuine career-defining opportunity inside a premium, fast-moving professional environment.

Here’s What You’ll Be Doing:

• Owning end-to-end candidate delivery across assigned recruitment assignments.
• Conducting candidate screening, interviews, and suitability assessments.
• Managing candidate progression across interview and feedback stages.
• Coordinating interviews and managing calendars to tight timeframes.

• Identifying stalled roles or delivery risks early and implementing corrective action.
• Ensuring all candidate files and General Registration (Gen Reg) documentation are accurate and compliant.
• Updating recruitment systems accurately and maintaining clean, organised records.
• Preparing delivery updates and progress reporting as required.
• Acting as the primary point of coordination between candidates, consultants, and internal stakeholders.

What You’ll Bring to the Role:

• Demonstrated experience in recruitment delivery or candidate management.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple live roles simultaneously.
• Clear, confident phone manner and professional written communication.
• The ability to perform under pressure in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong judgement and problem-solving capability, you identify issues early and act decisively.
• Confidence managing deadlines, follow-ups, and competing priorities.
• High attention to detail and respect for compliance-driven processes.
• A proactive mindset, you take ownership rather than wait for direction.
• A genuine desire to grow inside a high-performance firm, not just hold a role.

What’s in It for You:

• Competitive salary aligned with experience.
• Monday to Friday hours with structure and predictability.
• A brand-new, premium office in the Southport business district.
• Exposure to a fast-paced recruitment operation that leads its market.
• Ownership of delivery outcomes across live recruitment assignments.
• Clear development pathways into senior delivery, operations, or recruitment leadership roles.
• A polished, high-performing team culture built on pace, accountability, and standards.
• A workplace that reflects the Gold Coast lifestyle, ambitious, energised, and execution-driven.

Your career accelerates here, delivery-led, structured, and built for progression.
