Animal Emergency Australia is seeking a Talent Resourcing Specialist to source and engage veterinary talent across Australia and internationally.

• 6 month contract role flexible to be based in Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth
• Source and engage veterinary talent across Australia and beyond
• – Shape the future workforce of a growing veterinary network

At Animal Emergency Australia (AEA), we provide emergency, critical care, and specialist veterinary services across a growing network of hospitals throughout Australia.
We’re more than just a workplace. We’re a community of passionate veterinary professionals dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care and supporting one another to be our very best. Through innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, we’re helping shape the future of veterinary emergency medicine.
We believe great care starts with great people.

The role
As our Talent Resourcing Specialist, you’ll play a vital role in helping us find and engage exceptional veterinary talent across Australia and beyond.
You’ll be the talent scout, relationship builder, and sourcing expert behind our recruitment success. Whether you’re uncovering hidden talent on LinkedIn, building meaningful connections with veterinary professionals, screening candidates, or creating innovative attraction campaigns, your work will directly contribute to the growth and success of our hospitals.
This is a role for someone who genuinely loves connecting people with opportunities, enjoys the challenge of finding hard-to-reach talent, and gets excited about building talent pipelines before vacancies even exist.
No two days are the same. One morning you could be headhunting an Emergency Veterinarian in Perth, and by the afternoon be connecting with veterinary nurses, attending a university careers event, or creating a new Facebook campaign to engage passive candidates.

We’re open to both full time and part time arrangements, and this role can be based in Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth, offering flexibility to help you do your best work while maintaining balance outside of it. This is a 6 month contract role initially with view to extend.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Proactively identify, engage, and attract high quality veterinary and support talent across Australia and international markets.
• Build creative sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, social media, referrals, industry networks, and direct outreach.
• Build and maintain talent pools for critical and hard-to-fill positions, particularly within Emergency and Critical Care (ECC).
• Conduct initial candidate conversations and screening interviews to assess skills, experience, motivation, and cultural alignment.
• Partner with universities, industry associations, professional bodies, and training providers to strengthen talent networks.
• Support social media recruitment activity and talent attraction projects.
• Work closely with Marketing, P&C, and operational teams to promote AEA’s Employee Value Proposition.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven years’ experience in recruitment, talent sourcing, talent acquisition, or candidate engagement.
• Demonstrated success sourcing hard to fill or specialist roles.
• Strong screening and candidate assessment capabilities.
• Highly proactive with a natural ability to build connections and engage people.
• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, CRM systems, or ATS platforms.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple talent pipelines simultaneously.
• Passion for delivering an exceptional candidate experience.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience recruiting within healthcare, veterinary, medical, allied health, or professional services sectors.
• Exposure to international recruitment or relocation programs.
• Experience with talent pooling, workforce planning, or employer branding initiatives.
• Familiarity with JobAdder or similar Applicant Tracking Systems.

Why Join AEA?
Because finding great talent should be fun.
You’ll join a passionate Talent team that values innovation, creativity, collaboration, and finding new ways to connect amazing people with meaningful careers. You’ll have the opportunity to influence how we attract talent, build relationships across the veterinary industry, and help shape the future workforce of Animal Emergency Australia.
