Based in Adelaide, this role reports directly to the General Manager and plays a critical leadership role across recruitment operations in South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales.
About the Role
This is a hands-on leadership position overseeing a small internal recruitment team, including two Recruitment Partners as direct reports. You will be responsible for driving performance, improving capability, and ensuring consistent delivery across a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Key Responsibilities
You will:

- Personally recruit for managerial and shared services roles as required
- Drive consistent hiring outcomes, quality of hire, and time-to-fill performance
- Partner with senior stakeholders to align workforce needs with business priorities
- Engage directly with executive and C-suite leaders, providing updates, insights, and recruitment strategy input
- Improve recruitment processes, candidate experience, and overall hiring effectiveness
About You
You are a confident recruitment leader who thrives in high-volume, multi-site environments. You are equally comfortable coaching a team as you are leading executive-level conversations.
You will bring:
- Background in agency recruitment or internal talent acquisition (preferred)
- Proven experience managing high-volume recruitment functions
- Strong capability in stakeholder management, including executive/C-suite engagement
- Experience in structured interviewing, assessment centres, and proactive sourcing/headhunting
- A calm, commercial approach with strong organisational and leadership skills
- The ability to lead performance and lift capability within a small team
