Recruitment Officer in Canberra

The Australian National University (ANU) brings together exceptional people from across the world: visionaries, researchers, leaders and change-makers who create impact locally and globally. Through a strong commitment to education and staff experience, ANU supports its people to achieve ambitious goals and build meaningful careers.

We are seeking a Recruitment Officer to join the People and Culture Division. This is an opportunity to contribute to the delivery of recruitment services, working closely with colleagues and stakeholders to support a smooth and professional experience for both hiring managers and candidates.

In this role, you will provide day-to-day recruitment advice and support, applying your understanding of policies and procedures to guide decision-making and ensure compliance. You will work with Divisions and Schools, building effective relationships and contributing to consistent recruitment outcomes.

The successful candidate will bring experience in recruitment or broader HR administration, strong attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment. We value adaptability, a customer-focused approach, and the ability to interpret and apply policy, and this role offers the opportunity to further develop these capabilities. Experience with HR and recruitment systems (ideally PeopleSoft and PageUp) will be beneficial.

The University actively encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. ANU values diversity and inclusion and believes employment opportunities must not be limited by socio-economic background, race, religion or gender.

Please note: The preferred candidate must have rights to live and work in Australia, and will be required to complete mandatory pre-employment declarations and background checks relevant to the role they have applied for, in accordance with the Background Checking Procedure and the National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence.
