Your day to day will consist of:

- Leading the assessment of UNSW College's current recruitment and selection practice, own the design of a contemporary framework (covering sourcing, selection methodology, candidate experience, employer brand, technology and analytics), and lead its implementation across the College, including hiring-manager engagement, capability uplift and post-implementation review.

This includes curating talent pools for repeat-hire and high-volume cohorts, such as Academic English teachers, with a deliberate balance between direct and agency channels.
- Actively managing end-to-end recruitment for specialised, senior or priority roles as required, including executive searches, specialist academic appointments, psychometric testing, and roles where a hands-on approach is warranted by complexity, seniority or stakeholder sensitivity
