This is a brand new role for our team, reporting directly into the Head of eCommerce Recruitment.

Ecommerce Recruitment (ECR), partners with high growth D2C and consumer brands across Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada to help them find exceptional talent.

Founded by Davie Fogarty as part of the broader Davie Group (think The Oodie), ECR also has access to an extensive founder and operator network through The Daily Mentor community of more than 1,000 D2C businesses globally.

We are growing and are looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant who wants to take real ownership of their desk, build strong client relationships and grow within a specialist international market.

This is a true 360 role.

You will manage searches from briefing through to placement, work directly with clients, build candidate pipelines, develop new business and take ownership of individual revenue outcomes.

You will also have the support of a Talent Coordinator across sourcing, market mapping and screening, giving you more space to focus on higher value recruitment activity, client relationships and placements.

What you will be doing

Managing recruitment assignments from client brief through to successful placement

Taking detailed briefs and understanding the business, role, team and ideal candidate profile

Building and adjusting search strategies based on market and interview feedback

Proactively sourcing and headhunting candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter and other channels

Conducting detailed candidate screening and assessment

Presenting strong, client ready shortlists

Managing interviews, feedback, offers and negotiations





Building trusted relationships with clients and providing proactive market updates

Advising clients on candidate availability, remuneration and market conditions

Growing existing accounts and identifying new opportunities

Prospecting ecommerce, DTC and consumer brands

Building relationships with prospective clients through targeted outreach

Working towards individual placement and revenue targets

Building specialist candidate networks across the functions you recruit

Using AI and recruitment technology to improve quality, speed and efficiency

Who we are looking for

This role is suited to someone who already understands agency recruitment and is comfortable owning the full recruitment lifecycle. You will ideally have:

Agency recruitment experience within a 360 environment

Experience managing recruitment assignments from briefing through to placement

Strong sourcing, headhunting, screening and assessment capability

Hands on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter

Confidence managing client relationships independently

Experience with business development, prospecting or creating new recruitment opportunities

Commercial awareness and confidence working towards individual revenue outcomes

Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly

Strong organisation and the ability to manage multiple clients, roles and candidates at once





Attention to detail and strong follow through

Confidence using ATS, CRM and workflow systems

A self directed approach with the ability to take ownership

A collaborative mindset and willingness to share ideas and improve

Ecommerce, DTC or consumer brand recruitment experience would be valuable, but it is not essential. Strong recruitment capability, commercial judgement and the ability to quickly learn a specialist market matter more.

Why ECR?

This is an opportunity to build more than just a recruitment desk. You will have the chance to develop deep expertise in a specialist market, work directly with founders, operators and senior hiring leaders and build a strong personal network across the D2C and consumer brand space.

You will also get:

Your own 360 recruitment desk across Australia, Recent Zealand, the US and Canada

Exposure to high growth D2C and consumer brands

Direct relationships with founders and senior hiring leaders

Support from an established Talent Coordinator

Exposure to the broader Davie Group and The Daily Mentor ecosystem

Ongoing training and development

Hybrid working from our Southbank office

Team events and social initiatives

Product discounts across The Oodie

The opportunity will suit someone who enjoys the commercial side of recruitment, wants ownership of their results and is excited by the opportunity to grow alongside ECR.

Interested?

If you are an experienced recruiter who wants more ownership, stronger exposure to high growth brands and the chance to build your reputation within a specialist market, we would love to hear from you.
