Job description

Location: Southern Suburbs | Job ID: J107085

Who We Are: We don’t just fill seats; we build the teams that power the technology sector. With over 20 years of experience, we have established ourselves as a stable, highly respected fixture in the landscape. We pride ourselves on a "quality over quantity" approach, backed by deep industry knowledge and an unwavering commitment to our clients and our collective success.

We operate as a true collective. Here, you aren’t an island - you are part of a supportive team where everyone pitches in to help each other cross the finish line. Our culture is built on mutual respect and maturity; we discourage unnecessary overtime because we value your life outside of work. However, we are a high-performance environment that recognizes and rewards grit. If you are someone who pushes hard during the day and goes the extra mile to deliver excellence, you will find yourself highly valued here.

The Role:

We need a tech-savvy, hands-on individual with an obsession for detail and a genuine care for people. This role is about the art of talent identification - finding and engaging with top-tier professionals to help our partners grow.

You will be an integral part of a lean, fast-moving group where "that’s not my job" isn't in our vocabulary. We provide full support and training, but we need someone who is already an exceptional communicator and a natural collaborator.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Utilising a modern ATS system, AI tools and digital platforms to uncover the "hidden" talent that others miss.
• Crafting compelling, professional outreach to engage high-level specialists and bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.
• Maintaining a high bar for attention to detail within our modern talent ecosystems and workflows.
• Staying flexible and jumping in to help the collective with whatever is required to secure a win.
• Using strong written and verbal skills to manage professional relationships across all levels.

What You Need:

• You have 3 - 5 years of experience in high-pressure, fast-paced environments (ideally within smaller companies). You know how to triage priorities and stay calm when things move fast.
• You have a proven track record of finding people and "connecting the dots".
• We value life experience and the ability to solve real business problems over academic achievements.
• You are comfortable with high-tech tools and focused on continuous improvement.
• You find enjoyment in helping others succeed and have a natural drive to see things through to 100% completion.

Who You Are:

• Grounded & Professional: You value maturity and humility. You are a "we" person, not an "I" person.
• Sharp-Eyed: You notice the nuances and small details that others miss.
• Adaptable: You thrive when priorities shift and are happy to wear multiple hats to get the job done.

The Logistics:

• Hours: 08:00 - 17:00, Monday to Friday. Our hours match our clients' needs; therefore, these hours are fixed.
• Location: Southern Suburbs. As we are not on a main transport route, your own transport is ideal.
• In-Person: This position is highly collaborative and requires in-person attendance to ensure team dynamic and effectiveness.
