JOB DESCRIPTION

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

We’re hiring!

But as you’ve no doubt realised, so is everyone else.  So, let’s tell you a bit more about why you should consider a career with us.

Well, we have an incredibly strong and stable background; we were founded in 1948, we’re the largest specialised staffing agency in the world with over 300 offices worldwide, we’re recognised by Forbes as one of the best employers to work for, and we’re listed on the NYSE.  And whilst that’s great and we’re exceptionally proud of our history, all of that doesn’t really tell you who we are today, here, and now in Brisbane.

Our Brisbane office is made up group of people who place a huge emphasis on collaboration and teamwork.  We all hard work hard for each other which not only contributes to individual success but inevitably success as a team.  We’re a group of people who all bring differing strengths and ideas; we believe that everyone has a voice and a say in the direction of the business, and what we’re trying to achieve.  We have a strong focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion with several people in our branch representing us across APAC in our community ensuring that our thoughts and ideas are heard.

Some of us had other careers before recruitment, and we come from different backgrounds in terms of education as well as coming from differing parts of the world; we believe that makes us stronger together.  We take pride in our ethical approach, and we work hard to provide an outstanding service to our clients and candidates alike. 

We’re a social team, and we enjoy each other’s company.  We’ll go for lunches, and dinners, as well as enjoying regular office events as well events for your individual teams (including APAC events).  We know this isn’t an easy job, so we try to enjoy ourselves as much possible whilst striking that balance between work and downtime. 

We’re looking for people to join our Brisbane team where you’ll work to develop & maintain networks within the Brisbane market with people looking to find their next job. 

This is not a client-facing sales or business development position, but rather a position for people who want to work purely with candidates looking for a new position. 

Of course, as time goes on you might want to transition into a client facing, more Business Development focused position, and if that’s the case, then we’ll support you with your decision.  After all, we’re looking for people who want a long-term opportunity rather than a quick fix.

In this position you’ll be responsible for engaging with active job seekers as well as cultivating relationships with a passive network.  You’ll work on a desk where you’ll partner with experienced Consultants to provide them with the best people for the job.  This is a crucial position and one where you’ll work together with our client facing Consultants, not for them.  We’re huge believers in working with a collaborative mindset and that your internal brand is equally as important as your external one.

To deliver effectively you’ll conduct interviews either face-to-face or over video, take references, post job adverts, generate leads regarding activity in the market; and potentially attend job pick-up meetings with your client-facing colleagues; as well as providing expert, consultative advice to job seekers that you’re working with.

You’ll be working on a busy desk from day one, however that doesn’t mean we expect to you to make placements straight away.  In fact, the first few weeks will be heavily focused on training which will lay the groundwork for future success.  Training starts the minute you join us, and it’s on-going throughout your career us.

We’re a big believer that you can drive your career forward from wherever you sit within our business.  Some of our staff operate in Management positions purely with a focus on working with people looking for jobs, whereas some take the opportunity to step into a more client facing role.  How you progress is up to you, and something we’ll support you on.  We like to promote from within which means your next role is still very likely to still be with us.

So, about you - we’re keen to speak with you if you’re a team player.  That’s a non-negotiable for us.  You might already be in recruitment and you’re considering a change in environment, or someone with a career behind them that is looking for something new, or even just starting out and looking for an environment where you can develop your career.  You’ll be capable of speaking with, and building relationships with, a myriad of people from different backgrounds.  You will be ethical in your approach, be honest and foster trust.

We’d also like you to have ambition.  This is not a position for someone who just wants to settle.  We want people who want to be a success personally, as well as share our group success.

We’re looking for someone who wants a career, not just a job.  We’re not looking for people just to fill seats, we want people who are eager to learn who have a great attitude.

We have opportunities across our Finance and Technology teams – so there are different areas your strengths could be utilised. 

We’re looking for really good people who want to work alongside really good people; let’s not over complicate this!

We can offer:
 

• Flexibility: we understand that life goes on outside of the office
• WFH / hybrid working
• Early finish on Friday
• Working with an experienced leadership team who will support and mentor you to build your career
• Company recognition at
• Excellent on-going training to help you achieve success
• Wellbeing initiatives for all employees
• Regular social events
• Industry-leading technology
• An attractive salary with generous bonus schemes
• Potential to work in other offices; nationally and internationally

Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you!
