Some people are drained by talking to 40 strangers a day.
You're the opposite.
Job Play on the Gold Coast places labourers and tradespeople on construction sites across Australia.
At 6am a site manager rings short three carpenters.
By smoko, three carpenters are on site with the right tickets in hand.
That's the job - and when you're the one who pulled it off, it's a genuinely good feeling.
We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist (Recruitment Resourcer) who loves the finding, not the selling.
If the best part of your day is a good conversation, a fast match and a worker who says "yeah, I can start Monday," you'll fit here.
Our office is Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast.
About you
You'redeeply passionateabout people and about the construction industry - you find both genuinely compelling, and it shows in how you talk about them.
You'reenthusiasticon the phone from the first call to the fortieth.Eagerto learn a market you might not know yet.Excitedby a hard role that no one else can fill, andenergeticenough to still be moving at 4pm on a Friday.
You'rededicatedto your candidates - you follow up, you call back, you remember names.Committedto getting the details right, because a missing ticket stops a worker at the gate.Drivento build the best talent pool on the Gold Coast, andinspiredby the idea of being the person hundreds of workers call first.
What you'll be doing
Sourcing labourers and trades across job boards, databases and referrals
Screening candidates and running phone interviews
Registering candidates and verifying licences, tickets and right-to-work
Building and maintaining a strong pipeline of ready-to-work labourers
Reconnecting with past candidates and keeping the talent pool warm
Coordinating workers for site placements alongside the recruitment team
Flagging opportunities you hear on the phones and passing them to the consultants




What we're looking for
Strong phone communication - you'd rather call than email or text
You genuinely like people and can talk to anyone, on any site, in any trade
Highly organised with sharp attention to detail - tickets and licences aren't negotiable
Comfortable speaking with candidates all day and energised, not exhausted, by it
Someone who wants to become the person who owns the talent pool, not the person chasing the sale
No recruitment experience required.
If you've served, coached, hosted, sold or hustled and you're good with people, we'll teach you the rest.
Where it goes
This isn't a stepping stone to a sales desk.
It's the start of a specialist track.
There are avenues for sales for those that want it but often we find someone passionate about resourcing doesn't want to go into a sales position.
As you grow, you'll take ownership of the candidate pool itself - workforce planning, redeployment, retention, and becoming the person hundreds of workers call first.
That's the Talent Manager path, and we'd rather build it internally than hire it in.
What's in it for you
Variety by default - trades, labour, transport, warehousing, five states
Real ownership of your talent pool, not a script and a call list
Training from a leadership team that's built desks from scratch
Modern Gold Coast office, a team that celebrates wins, and no two days the same
No one works on their birthday!
Well remunerated, salary pending on experience
Commission structure and rewarded for effort that contribute to team goals
About Job Play
