Job description

Talenting is a Perth-based HR consultancy. Our clients span government, not-for-profit and corporate sectors, and our work ranges from hands-on HR advisory and recruitment through to workplace investigations, organisational reviews and considered senior appointments.

We are a small, high-calibre team with a clear purpose: to do good work for good organisations.

We are growing, and are recruiting an HR generalist at either Consultant or Senior Consultant level. We may appoint at one level or both, depending on the strength of the field. Both levels carry their own client work across our service lines. The difference between them is the complexity of the work and the level of independence and leadership each holds.

What you’ll be doing?

HR advisory and partnering. Acting as the day-to-day HR contact for client organisations on performance, conduct, policy, and award and Fair Work Act compliance.

Recruitment and selection. Running values-based recruitment end to end, from role design and sourcing through to assessment, panel support and offer, using an evidence-based approach to selection.

Workplace relations and investigations. Advising on employee relations matters, disputes and enterprise agreements, and supporting workplace investigations.

Leadership and capability development. Designing and delivering training and development for leaders and teams.

Organisational review and change. Contributing to and delivering work such as job design, policy reviews, organisational reviews, HR audits, workforce planning and classification assessment.

What role will suit you best?

Consultant

You will manage your own workload across a mix of clients, gather requirements and recommend practical, evidence-based solutions. You may be the main contact for HR partnering clients, and you will run recruitment processes end to end and manage smaller projects with support from senior staff. You will also draft client-ready documents such as position descriptions, contracts, policies and reports, and guide our coordinators on specific tasks.

This level suits someone with experience as an HR consultant, business partner, advisor or officer who wants broad exposure across sectors and service lines.

Senior Consultant

You will carry a larger and more complex client load, including specialist and executive recruitment, organisational reviews, employee relations matters and support on workplace investigations. You will lead small project teams, and supervise and mentor our consultants and coordinators, including reviewing their work and helping develop their capability.

You will also produce high-quality written advice and reports for executive and Board audiences, and support our Directors on proposals and more strategic matters.

What you'll need?

For both roles:

• C1. Generalist HR experience in a consultant, business partner, advisory or officer role, ideally within a professional services or project-based environment
• C2. Sound working knowledge of Australian employment law, with the ability to interpret and apply Modern Awards and relevant industrial instruments
• C3. A high level of written accuracy and attention to detail across all client-facing work
• C4. Professional communication skills with a collaborative and respectful approach
• C5. Digital confidence, particularly with Microsoft 365 and modern workplace tools, including responsible use of AI

For the Senior Consultant role, we are also looking for:

• C6. Proven ability to independently manage client engagements, from scoping and stakeholder communication through to defensible written advice
• C7. Demonstrated ability to prepare reports and formal correspondence suitable for executive or Board audiences
• C8. Experience in, or formal training for, workplace investigations (desirable)
• C9. Experience monitoring project scope, timeframes and budgets in a consultancy or advisory environment (desirable)

Why work for Talenting?

We exist to do good work for good organisations, giving them the capability, capacity and clarity they need to animate their talent. That shapes how we operate and how we develop our people.

What you'll get:

• Varied, substantive work across sectors and all five service lines
• A leadership team with extensive HR and IR/ER experience and a strong investment in your development
• A generous professional development allowance, because we take mastery seriously and fund it accordingly
• Five weeks annual leave
• Flexibility, including hybrid working and a negotiable FTE
