Join a rapidly scaling trades platform and build the recruiting engine behind it. Lighthouse Service Partners is a people- and mission-driven trades company serving home service businesses — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and related trades — across Australia. We're growing fast and we need a Talent Associate who can grow with us.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Talent, you'll drive full cycle recruiting on a prioritised set of trades and operational roles across all of our OpCos (operating companies) — while equipping GMs and hiring managers to confidently run structured interviews and own lower-priority roles themselves using our Lighthouse Recruiting Playbook. This isn't a role where you wait for perfect process. You'll move fast, build trust with GMs across the portfolio, and materially level up hiring capability across the business. Success here creates a genuine platform to grow within Lighthouse's People & Talent function as we scale.
What You'll Do
- Lead full-cycle recruiting on priority trades and operational roles across all OpCos, based on volume, criticality, and business need.
- Build genuine, trusted relationships with GMs and hiring managers — becoming their go-to hiring partner.
- Direct OpCo hiring managers on using the Lighthouse Recruiting Playbook — structured interviewing, scorecards, advertising, and onboarding.
- Build proactive sourcing playbooks and talent pools for recurring trades roles (plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians), reducing reliance on agencies.
- Drive adoption of standardised job ads, scorecards, and interview frameworks — and report on time to fill, offer acceptance, scorecard compliance, and Year 1 attrition.
- Support the Head of Talent on GM and HoldCo-level hiring as needed.
What You Bring
- 2–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in blue-collar, trades, or multi-site operational businesses.
- A track record across the full cycle — sourcing, screening, interviewing, closing — for high-volume, high-turnover roles.
- The ability to build trust fast with GMs and operational leaders, and credibility with both blue-collar and corporate stakeholders.
- A scrappy, resourceful mindset — comfortable operating without fully mature systems in place.
- Sharp instincts for reading a business and a hiring need, adapting your approach rather than running a fixed script.
- Comfort tracking and reporting against recruiting metrics.
- ATS experience and enthusiasm for championing standardised tools and frameworks.
- A degree in HR, Psychology, or a related field is a plus — but strong recruiting results and relevant experience matter just as much.
- Bonus: affinity for or exposure to trades industries (plumbing, HVAC, electric).
Why Lighthouse
You’ll join at a pivotal point in our growth — with real ownership over how we hire across a growing portfolio of trades businesses, direct exposure to GMs and leadership, and a clear path to grow within our People & Talent function as the portfolio scales. Competitive salary + performance bonus on offer!
