Talent Acquisition Specialist

Job No: 100481

Location: Brisbane

Closing Date: 27 Jul 2018 CST

What does an EO "Talent Acquisition Specialist" do exactly?

Advertising and marketing in the recruitment space is a diverse, exciting and challenging area. Employment Office rises to the task each day, creating robust and innovative campaigns and collateral that reach out to active and passive candidates across a wide range of industries and locations.

We also take a more personal approach to attracting candidates by actively seeking out talent in order to connect them with their perfect career opportunity. That's where you come in. 

In this role, you'll be primarily responsible for conducting targeted talent searches using a variety of mediums and actively connecting with candidates online and over the phone.

More specifically you will:

• Directly source the best candidates possible using a variety of internal and external sourcing methods;
• Design and implement a variety of innovative candidate generation techniques to build high-quality candidate pipelines;
• Utilise and manage LinkedIn and other candidate attraction tools to source talent;
• Confidently consult with our clients on sourcing strategy; and
• Actively call, email and engage with passive candidates with the aim of converting them to active applicants.

As you'll be part of the wider Recruitment Advertising Team, you may also be involved in other elements of advertising strategy execution as required.

Please Note: You will not be prospecting business - this is all handled for you by our Sales & Account Executives.

Who are we looking for? 

We're seeking a personable individual with a knack for uncovering hidden talent. It's important you have an excellent phone manner and be comfortable liaising with clients and candidates in a professional and friendly manner.

Our ideal candidate could come from a number of backgrounds, such as:

• 360 recruitment - maybe you'd like to get away from the constant pressure of sales targets?
• Internal recruitment - maybe you're looking to use the skills you've gained in a new light, with more variety in role type and clients?
• A corporate background of some other kind - maybe you're looking for a new challenge that involves helping jobseekers and employers find their respective perfect matches?

What's most important however, is the right attitude.

If you're driven, enthusiastic and genuinely looking for a long term career opportunity, we want to hear from you.

If you have an eye for detail, the ability to identify areas for product or process improvements, and are looking for the opportunity to play a key part in the future success of our service offering, we really want to hear from you.
