Global Retail & E-commerce Organisation | Melbourne, Western Suburbs

UCentric is partnering exclusively with a leading global retail and e-commerce organisation to appoint an experienced Recruiter supporting its Australian and broader APAC operations. Our client is an established international business with a significant operational presence in Melbourne's west, alongside a diverse range of corporate and technology functions across the region.

Working Arrangement:

Hybrid, 3 days onsite per week, with the flexibility to work onsite up to 5 days per week during peak hiring periods.

About the Role:

As Recruiter, you will take ownership of end-to-end recruitment across corporate, technology and operational functions. You'll work closely with hiring managers and regional business leaders, providing market insights, developing recruitment strategies and ensuring a positive experience for candidates and stakeholders.

The role offers variety, combining specialist professional recruitment with workforce planning and higher-volume hiring requirements across the organisation's Australian operations.

We're looking for someone who can comfortably move between strategic talent conversations and hands-on recruitment delivery, bringing structure, commercial thinking and a proactive approach to sourcing.

Key Responsibilities:

Talent Acquisition & Stakeholder Partnership

• Partner with hiring managers and business leaders across Australia and APAC to understand workforce needs and develop effective hiring strategies.
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from intake and sourcing through to assessment, stakeholder coordination and offer management.
• Partner with global stakeholders to embed and champion global talent frameworks, aligning localized hiring priorities with enterprise standards.
• Provide market intelligence, talent availability insights and recommendations on sourcing approaches.
• Support recruitment across corporate and specialist functions, including technology, commercial and operational teams.
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders, providing a consultative approach to recruitment delivery.
• Develop and execute proactive sourcing strategies to identify and engage passive talent.
• Build talent maps and pipelines for specialist, business-critical and recurring hiring requirements.
• Leverage LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems and modern sourcing technologies to improve talent attraction.
• Conduct candidate screening and assessment to evaluate technical capability, experience and alignment with business requirements.
• Maintain an understanding of the Australian talent market, including emerging hiring trends and competitor activity.

Operational & Volume Recruitment

• Support high-volume recruitment requirements associated with a major operational site in Melbourne's western suburbs.
• Work with operational stakeholders to anticipate hiring demand and maintain consistent candidate pipelines.
• Develop scalable approaches to recruitment that balance speed, quality and candidate experience.
• Monitor recruitment activity, pipeline performance and hiring outcomes to support workforce requirements.

Recruitment Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to regional and global Talent Acquisition initiatives, collaborating with colleagues across different markets.
• Identify opportunities to simplify recruitment processes, improve sourcing effectiveness and enhance the candidate experience.
• Maintain accurate recruitment data and reporting to support hiring decisions.
• Share knowledge, market insights and recruitment best practices with stakeholders and colleagues.

About You:

We're looking for an experienced recruiter who enjoys the combination of relationship management, proactive sourcing and hands-on recruitment delivery.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Demonstrated end-to-end recruitment experience gained within an in-house Talent Acquisition function, recruitment agency or embedded recruitment environment.
• Experience recruiting across multiple professional disciplines, ideally including corporate or technology functions.
• Strong direct sourcing and headhunting capability, with confidence engaging passive candidates.
• A consultative approach to stakeholder management, with the ability to influence hiring decisions and challenge assumptions constructively.
• Experience managing multiple recruitment priorities and delivering against agreed hiring targets.
• Strong working knowledge of applicant tracking systems, recruitment technology and pipeline reporting.
• An understanding of Australian recruitment practices and employment requirements.
• The ability to work independently while collaborating with regional and global colleagues.

Experience supporting high-volume recruitment within retail, logistics, distribution, manufacturing or other operationally intensive environments would be highly regarded.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This role offers the opportunity to work within an established international organisation while supporting a diverse mix of hiring requirements across Australia and APAC.

You'll have the chance to work closely with business leaders, influence how talent is identified and attracted, and contribute to improving recruitment practices across the region.

It's particularly well suited to a recruiter who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced commercial environment and wants to combine specialist recruitment with broader talent advisory responsibilities.
