Job description

Recruitment Consultant | Risk & Compliance

Bluefin Resources is looking for an experienced recruitment consultant in Risk & Compliance (or a similar specialist market) to join our Sydney team.

Our Risk & Compliance desk is long established and consistently one of our strongest performers. Consultants on the desk have historically billed $700k to $1m+ annually, with a steady flow of permanent and contract work and genuine relationships across the market.

You’ll join a mature desk with room to make it your own, working alongside another Risk & Compliance consultant, our leadership team and the wider Project Services & Transformation practice, where average recruitment experience is 10+ years.

Our clients

Big Four banks, investment banks, insurers, super, wealth and fintech

Consulting, retail, FMCG, universities and ASX 200 organisations

Major recruitment panels and some of Australia’s largest programmes of work

Mid-tier and smaller organisations where you can win exclusive work and own the relationship

How we work

Dual desk model: permanent, contract, retained search and exclusive roles

Full toolkit: LinkedIn Recruiter, AI platforms, sourcing tools, established CRM and candidate network, plus marketing support

No egos, no internal competition, no set activity KPIs and no rollover thresholds

A culture of trust where you manage your own market and your day

What we’re looking for

Someone who enjoys being out in the market, meeting clients face to face and creating new opportunities. You’ll inherit strong relationships, but business development remains a key part of the role.

Why Bluefin?

Established, high-billing Risk & Compliance desk

Autonomy and trust, with no KPIs or rollover thresholds

Strong existing client and candidate relationships

Mix of major panels, direct clients and mid-market accounts

Premium CBD office on Level 43, Australia Square

Experienced leaders and a high-performing team that celebrates each other’s wins
