[Hiring] Experienced Recruitment Consultant @Select People / Apprentice Recruit

Role Description

We're looking for an experienced recruitment professional to join our established recruitment business on a part-time contract basis. This could be the ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys speaking with people, identifying great candidates and making placements happen, but wants the flexibility to work from home and fit their work around other commitments.

The role will average approximately 10 hours per week, spread across Monday to Friday. You'll have flexibility around when you work during normal business hours, but you must be available to work across all five weekdays. No commuting, no office politics and no temporary labour hire. Just genuine, permanent recruitment with a supportive, experienced team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Reviewing applications and identifying suitable candidates
• Contacting shortlisted applicants and conducting telephone screenings
• Assessing experience, suitability, attitude and cultural fit
• Making informed decisions about which candidates should progress
• Coordinating interviews between candidates and clients
• Following up with candidates and clients throughout the recruitment process
• Keeping clients informed on the progress of their vacancies
• Maintaining accurate candidate records and notes within our Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

You'll be working across a variety of positions, so the ability to switch between roles, understand different requirements and make sound decisions quickly is important.

Qualifications

• Previous hands-on recruitment experience is essential
• Experience recruiting for trades, construction, landscaping or similar industries would be an advantage, but isn't essential

Requirements

• Has worked in a busy recruitment agency or similar recruitment environment
• Is confident conducting candidate interviews and assessments over the phone
• Can quickly identify whether someone is genuinely suitable for a position
• Has excellent communication skills and builds rapport naturally
• Works efficiently, stays organised and pays attention to detail
• Is comfortable using recruitment software and managing multiple vacancies
• Can work independently without needing constant direction
• Has a positive, practical attitude and isn't afraid to pick up the phone
• Enjoys helping people find the right employment opportunities
• Above all, we're looking for someone with good judgement, initiative and the ability to get through work efficiently without compromising quality

Benefits

• Approximately 10 hours per week, with some variation depending on recruitment activity
• 100% remote working – work from anywhere in Australia
• Flexible working hours between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday
• Ongoing independent contractor arrangement
• Work with an established recruitment business and supportive team
• While the actual working hours are relatively low, you'll need to be reasonably accessible throughout the working day, Monday to Friday, to respond to candidates, communicate with clients and keep the recruitment process moving
• This arrangement would suit an experienced recruiter who enjoys the flexibility of working from home, is comfortable managing their own workload and can balance other commitments while remaining responsive during business hours

Remuneration

An hourly contract rate will be negotiated based on your experience, skills and what you can bring to the role.
