• Support recruitment campaigns and job advertising across relevant online platforms.

4. Screening & Candidate Assessment

Assess and qualify candidates against role requirements:

• Conduct initial phone/video screening and qualification interviews to assess candidate suitability.
• Assess candidates against role requirements, including technical skills, industry experience, Australian market experience, systems knowledge, communication skills, availability, salary expectations and cultural/team fit.
• Prepare concise and professional candidate summaries, scorecards and recommendations for clients.

5. Interview Coordination & Offer Management

Coordinate the process through to a confirmed placement:

• Coordinate candidate interviews with clients and manage the recruitment process between candidates and hiring managers.
• Manage candidate negotiations around salary, notice periods, availability, working arrangements and other offer considerations.
• Coordinate references, background checks, documentation and pre-employment requirements.

6. Team Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Support the wider team and keep improving how we recruit:

• Work collaboratively with other recruiters and provide support with sourcing and candidate screening when required.
• Continuously review sourcing strategies and identify opportunities to improve candidate quality, response rates and time-to-fill.
• Help develop and improve screening questions, interview processes, recruitment scorecards and candidate assessment methods.
• Ensure candidates are presented professionally and that the recruitment experience reflects positively on Outsourced Staff and its clients.

• Proven experience in end-to-end recruitment, preferably within an agency, outsourcing or high-volume recruitment environment.
• Strong candidate sourcing and headhunting capabilities.
• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter or LinkedIn sourcing/outreach.
• Strong understanding of Boolean/search techniques and proactive candidate identification.
• Experience working with an ATS, recruitment CRM or candidate database (we use Lever as our ATS/CRM).
• Excellent phone and video interviewing skills.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills; confident communicating with Australian clients and hiring managers.
• Strong stakeholder and relationship management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple vacancies and priorities simultaneously.
• Strong negotiation and influencing skills.
• Genuinely into AI tools and quick to pick up new ones — we rely heavily on AI-powered platforms for sourcing, outreach and candidate research, so this isn't optional for the role.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to recruitment challenges.

• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Commercially aware and client-focused
• Confident, proactive communicator
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, fast-paced environment
