Job description

Build your recruitment career with the backing of a Fortune Global 500 brand, national client relationships, and a team that genuinely wants to win together.

Recruitment is changing quickly, and the consultants who will thrive are the ones who can bring more to clients than just a CV shortlist.

At Adecco, our consultants have the advantage of working with one of the world’s most recognised recruitment brands, with the backing, stability and scale of a Fortune Global 500 organisation, while still being part of a close-knit, supportive and ambitious team.

We're looking for a talented Recruitment Consultant to join our Permanent Recruitment team in either Sydney or Melbourne. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow their specialisation, build meaningful client partnerships, and accelerate their career with the support, structure and scale of a best practice global organisation.

Together, we'll continue to grow our permanent recruitment business across Australia. We are open to consider all levels of experience - so if you are a seasoned recruiter or completely new to exploring the industry, we will help set you up for success.

Why Adecco?

This is where we stand out.

At Adecco, you're not starting from scratch. You'll be joining a well-established recruitment brand with existing national client relationships, strong market credibility, and access to a broader group offering across workforce solutions, talent services and HR consulting.

That means more doors to open, more reasons to speak with clients, and more opportunities to build a successful, long-term career.

You'll also have the benefit of:

• A recognised Fortune Global 500 brand with over 50 years of experience in Australia
• Existing warm client relationships across multiple sectors
• The ability to recruit nationally, not just within one local market
• Access to major clients, broader solutions and cross-selling opportunities across The Adecco Group
• Structured career pathways, development plans and a genuine focus on promoting from within
• Training, coaching and regular support from experienced leaders who are invested in your success
• An outcomes-focused environment where performance, growth and contribution are recognised
• A business that invests in its people, backs their development and celebrates their wins
• A collaborative team culture where people support each other, share ideas and genuinely enjoy working together

We have the scale and structure of a global business, but the feel of a team that actually knows each other, backs each other and wants to see each other succeed.

About you

We're looking for someone who is driven, curious, commercially minded and motivated by outcomes.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Experience in recruitment, sales, business development or account management
• Confident engaging with clients and candidates, and building trusted relationships
• A proactive, resilient and results-focused approach
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence
• A genuine interest in building a long-term career in recruitment
• A collaborative mindset, while still taking ownership of your own success

Recruitment experience would be ideal, but it's not the only thing we value. If you have strong outbound sales experience, enjoy building relationships and thrive in a fast-paced, people-focused environment, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on offer

You'll receive an attractive salary package, excellent employee benefits that you would expect from a global, and the support to build a career that can grow with you. We provide hybrid working and flexibility.

At Adecco, we are outcomes-focused, but we don't expect our people to figure it all out on their own. We set clear goals, provide structured training and coaching, invest in our people, and celebrate success along the way.

We always look to promote from within wherever possible, supported by structured career pathways and development plans. Whether your ambition is to become a senior consultant, move into leadership, be an expert in your market, or explore broader opportunities across The Adecco Group, we'll work with you to help you get there.

If you're looking for the energy of recruitment, the backing of a Fortune Global 500 brand, and a team that genuinely enjoys working together, this could be a great next step.
