About the role

As a key member of the People & Performance team, you’ll play a hands‑on role in attracting, sourcing, and hiring world‑class talent to support our business as we scale globally.

Reporting to the Talent Lead, you’ll focus on executing recruitment strategies, managing candidate pipelines, and delivering an outstanding candidate experience that reflects the calibre of our product and culture.

What your day will look like

• Manage full‑cycle recruitment for roles across regions and functions, from sourcing and screening to coordinating interviews and supporting offer processes.
• Contribute to talent strategy and workforce planning, supporting forward‑looking hiring plans, capability mapping, and future skill needs as the business scales.
• Help shape and evolve our Employee Value Proposition (EVP), partnering with People & Performance and the business to ensure our story resonates in the market and reflects the real employee experience.
• Build scalable recruitment practices and foundations, designing processes, tools, and ways of working that can flex across regions, functions, and increasing hiring volumes.
• Upskill and enable hiring leaders, through coaching, training, and ongoing partnership to lift interviewing quality, assessment rigour, and hiring decision‑making.
• Support compensation benchmarking and market insights, contributing data and insights to inform fair, competitive, and consistent offers aligned to our compensation philosophy.
• Partner on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, helping embed inclusive hiring practices and broaden access to talent across all roles.
• Represent Halter in the market, acting as an ambassador at events, universities, and industry forums to strengthen our talent brand.
• Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines for current and future roles, proactively sourcing talent through multiple channels.
• Work closely with hiring managers to understand role requirements, team goals, and key success profiles.
• Provide guidance on hiring processes and help managers run smooth, effective, and inclusive recruitment cycles.
• Deliver an exceptional, consistent candidate experience at every stage of the process, reflecting our culture and values.
• Ensure all communication and interactions contribute positively to our employer brand.
• Maintain our ATS and recruitment workflows to keep the hiring process efficient and organised.
• Track and share key metrics like time‑to‑fill, pipeline progress, and candidate feedback to help improve our approach over time.
• Support initiatives around internal mobility, diversity, and employer branding.
• Look for opportunities to improve recruitment processes and tools as we scale.

Who are we looking for

• Proven experience building and scaling high‑performing teams across multiple regions.
• Strategic business partner who can zoom in and out: from exec‑level reporting to day‑to‑day hiring excellence.
• Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, a true business partner to hiring teams.
• Demonstrated success working in a fast‑paced, high‑volume hiring environment without compromising on the quality of talent we bring through the door.
• You’ll have a deep knowledge of sourcing techniques and channels, and know what it takes to seek out the best talent globally.
• Strong reporting and data skills; you’re able to track, analyse, and present key hiring metrics where needed.
• Familiarity with employment laws, immigration requirements, and compliance across New Zealand and ideally Australia too.
• High emotional intelligence with excellent communication skills; a proactive, solutions‑focused self‑starter who thrives in ambiguity and takes strong ownership and accountability.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work at a high‑growth ag‑tech company focused on sustainability and impact.
• Competitive compensation and equity package aligned to our philosophy.
• Strong focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion; encourage applications from under‑represented groups.
