Location: Sydney (in office, 5 days/week) — a short walk
from the train station. Note: no in office parking. Contract: 6-month
fixed term Start: Immediate About the Role We're looking for an
experienced Talent Acquisition Specialist to join a growing,
people-focused organisation experiencing a sustained uplift in
recruitment activity — currently 20–25 active vacancies, with a
forecast of approximately 30 roles across NSW and Victoria. The
hiring need is predominantly operational, site-based, and
technically aligned, requiring a fast-paced recruitment approach,
solid coordination skills, and consistent engagement with hiring
managers and stakeholders. You'll work closely with the Lead Talent
Acquisition Specialist, providing additional capacity across
candidate screening, interview coordination, recruitment delivery,
stakeholder management, and line-manager support. This is a
hands-on, coordination-heavy delivery role — not a strategic one —
requiring resilience, pace, and comfort with ambiguity. What You'll
Be Doing Screening candidates across trades, technical roles, site
supervisors, project support, and operational hires. Managing
end-to-end interview scheduling — phone screens,



hiring manager
interviews, site-based interviews, and follow-ups. Maintaining
momentum in a reactive hiring environment where requisitions depend
on client sign-off and can shift quickly. Managing relationships
with technically focused, time-poor line managers who may change
role parameters or delay feedback. Keeping documentation accurate
and audit-ready, including briefs, interview notes, and candidate
records. Delivering a strong candidate experience despite
fluctuating timelines and shifting priorities. Optional HR
crossover — strong performers may pick up basic HR coordination or
grow into a hybrid HR/TA role. What We're Looking For A proven
track record recruiting within the commercial construction
industry. Solid understanding of construction business structures
and role requirements. Strong influencing and negotiation skills.
Excellent communication skills, with the judgement to know what
each situation needs. A patient, solutions-focused approach.
Experience with JobAdder or a similar ATS is highly regarded.
Availability for an immediate start.
