Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Recruiter to join Korn Ferry at the beginning of a brand-new RPO partnership, embedded with a growing Australian organisation operating in a fascinating, highly technical environment.

You’ll be there from the start, with the opportunity to build relationships, shape how recruitment is delivered and become a trusted talent partner as the solution grows.

You’ll become part of the client’s world while having the support, expertise and career opportunities that come with being part of Korn Ferry.

What you'll be doing

You’ll own recruitment across a diverse portfolio of engineering, technology, science, manufacturing and specialist corporate roles, with plenty of opportunity to influence how talent is attracted and engaged, as well as:

• Partner directly with hiring leaders and become a trusted recruitment adviser
• Manage recruitment end-to-end across a varied portfolio
• Get creative in sourcing hard-to-find talent
• Build proactive pipelines rather than waiting for vacancies to land
• Use market insights to challenge thinking and shape hiring strategies
• Create a great experience for candidates from first contact through to offer

Who we're looking for

You don’t need to have recruited every type of engineer or scientist before.

What matters is that you’re an experienced recruiter who knows how to navigate complex or specialist talent markets and enjoys learning about the business you support.

You might come from technology, engineering, defence, aerospace, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, professional services or another specialist sector.

You’ll be naturally curious, confident with stakeholders and strong at sourcing. Most importantly, you’ll enjoy the hunt and know how to engage candidates who may not be actively looking.

Why consider it?

This isn’t about stepping into an established recruitment machine and simply picking up a requisition load.

You’ll be joining at the beginning of a new recruitment partnership, with the opportunity to shape how recruitment is delivered, build relationships from the ground up and become genuinely embedded in the organisation.

If you enjoy complex recruitment, stakeholder partnership and finding talent others struggle to find, we'd love to hear from you.
