Job description

Talent Acquisition Coordinator | Manufacturing

A large national manufacturer is looking for a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to join a dynamic team run day-to-day recruitment at its plant in Brisbane’s south-west. This is a permanent full-time role, based on site [days and hours], reporting to the Head of Talent & Capability.

It’s a hands-on coordination role with a clear focus on building your capability in talent acquisition. You will learn waged and labour hire recruitment inside a large organisation, with people around you who want you to grow.

What you will be doing
You will keep waged recruitment moving at the plant, working alongside People Business Partners, site leaders and the broader Talent Acquisition team. Most days you’ll be:

• Running recruitment for plant roles from start to finish: posting jobs, screening, booking interviews and assessment centres, pre-employment checks, offers and onboarding handover
• Working with labour hire providers to bring workers on site, covering availability, right to work, medicals, safety inductions and site access
• Spotting good casual workers who could convert to permanent roles
• Supporting local recruitment campaigns, referral programs and community engagement to build the plant’s future workforce
• Keeping trackers and recruitment systems accurate, and pulling together updates on vacancies, time to fill, commencements and labour hire numbers
• Being the go-to person for supervisors and candidates who want to know where things are up to

This role will suit you if

• You’re comfortable spending your day on a manufacturing site, in PPE, with early starts
• You like talking with supervisors and shift workers face to face, not just over email
• You can juggle a high number of vacancies at once and keep the detail right when priorities change
• You follow through, and you know when to elevate
• You want to build a long-term career in talent acquisition

What you’ll bring

• Experience in recruitment coordination, agency recruitment, labour hire, HR administration or a similar coordination role
• Exposure to high-volume, manufacturing, warehousing or blue-collar recruitment (highly regarded)
• Confidence with an applicant tracking system, Microsoft Office and spreadsheets
• An HR or business qualification is welcome but not essential

What’s on offer

• A permanent role with real development in talent acquisition
• Experience across waged recruitment, labour hire and workforce reporting within a large national manufacturer
• A collaborative team environment
