Dental Empire is looking for an exceptional recruiter and proven headhunter to take ownership of one of the most significant functions in our business:
finding exceptional people.
We are a rapidly growing, approximately 30-person digital business operating in the dental industry, and we are entering the next stage of our growth.
Over the next 12 months, we need to hire across multiple levels of the organisation — from high-performing sales and patient coordination roles through to senior management, including a Sales Manager, COO and ultimately CEO.
We don't need someone to post jobs on SEEK and wait for applications.
We need a headhunter.
Someone who knows how to map a market, identify exceptional people who aren't looking for another job, approach them directly, sell them on an opportunity, properly screen them and consistently put outstanding candidates in front of us.
If you're exceptional at recruitment, this is an opportunity to earn
$180K+ while working fully remotely anywhere in Australia
, with the potential to earn
more than $200K
if you're genuinely great at what you do.
About Dental Empire
Dental Empire is a rapidly growing digital business that partners with dental practices to grow their high-value implant treatment.
We're not a traditional lead-generation agency.
Our team manages the patient journey from generating demand through qualification, appointment booking, attendance management and patient concierge.
We currently have a team of approximately 30 people and are building the leadership and operational infrastructure required for the next stage of the company.
That means
talent is now one of our biggest priorities.
We're prepared to invest heavily in finding great people — but we have no interest in hiring average people simply because a position needs filling.
That's where you come in.
The Role
This is an internal recruitment position, but we want someone with the mentality and skillset of a
top agency headhunter
.
You will own recruitment across the company.
Your job isn't simply to generate candidates.
Your job is to
find exceptional people who materially improve the quality of our team.
You'll recruit across very different levels of the organisation.
One week you might be headhunting high-performing salespeople from dental companies, medical-device businesses or other industries where you've identified transferable talent.
The next, you could be running a national search for our next COO.




You'll be expected to think creatively about where exceptional candidates might be hiding rather than simply searching for people who already have the exact job title we're recruiting.
You will own:
Proactive headhunting and candidate sourcing
Mapping companies, industries and talent pools
Direct outreach to passive candidates
Writing and managing job advertisements
Initial interviews and candidate screening
Assessing performance history, attitude and cultural fit
Selling exceptional candidates on the opportunity
Reference checking
Managing candidates throughout the recruitment process
Maintaining an active pipeline for recurring roles
Presenting only genuinely strong finalists to senior management and the CEO
The objective is simple:
We want fewer average people and more exceptional people.
Your performance will be measured accordingly.
Your First 12 Months
This isn't a role where you'll spend your first three months "learning the business" before producing anything.
There is a significant recruitment mandate waiting for you from day one.
You'll initially be responsible for helping us build an elite patient coordination/sales team, while simultaneously recruiting several critical management positions.
We expect to recruit approximately
seven to ten exceptional performers into our frontline team
, alongside hires including:
Sales Manager
Chief Operating Officer
Fractional/senior finance capability
Chief Executive Officer
And there will be further hires as the company grows.
You will work directly with the founder and senior leadership to define exactly what great looks like for each position — then go into the market and find those people.
This Is a Performance Role
We believe recruiters should be rewarded for the
quality of the people they recruit
, not simply for filling vacancies.
Your package therefore has significant performance upside.
Remuneration
$120,000 base + super
$180,000 expected OTE
$200,000+ possible for exceptional performance
Your performance bonuses are directly linked to the success of the people you recruit.
We don't simply reward you because somebody accepted an offer.
We assess whether the person you recruited is
actually performing.
There are performance checkpoints approximately
30 days and 120 days
after commencement, with bonuses determined by the individual's performance against the scorecard established for their role.
Find good people and you'll earn well.




Consistently find exceptional people and you can earn extremely well.
There is no business development.
There are no external clients to chase.
There are no recruitment fees to negotiate.
You have
one client: us.
Your job is to understand our business exceptionally well and become relentless about increasing the quality of the people inside it.
Who We're Looking For
Proven headhunting experience is mandatory.
If the majority of your recruitment experience has consisted of posting advertisements and processing inbound applicants, this isn't the position for you.
We're looking for someone who can demonstrate that they have personally:
Headhunted high-performing passive candidates
Built target lists and talent maps from scratch
Approached people who weren't actively looking for another job
Sold strong candidates on changing companies
Conducted high-quality screening interviews
Recruited against demanding performance criteria
Managed multiple searches simultaneously
Challenged a hiring manager rather than simply taking an order
Identified talent from unconventional or adjacent industries
Built repeatable recruitment pipelines
Agency recruitment experience is likely to translate extremely well.
You need to be commercially minded, persuasive, highly organised and comfortable being measured against outcomes.
And you need to have a
very high bar for talent.
If you find three candidates and they're all mediocre, we don't want you recommending the best of the three.
We want you to keep searching.
How We Work
This position is
100% remote and can be based anywhere in Australia.
You'll generally work standard Australian business hours.
However, headhunting means speaking to people who already have jobs. There will occasionally be conversations that need to happen outside standard hours, including evenings and potentially weekends.
We're not interested in clock-watching.
We're interested in outcomes.
In return, you'll have substantial autonomy over how you structure your search activity and achieve those outcomes.
Why This Role Is Different
Most internal recruiters inherit vacancies.
You'll help build a company.
The people you recruit over the next ***** months will materially determine what Dental Empire becomes.
You'll work directly with the founder, have the budget to aggressively pursue exceptional talent, and have the freedom to search outside conventional recruitment channels.
If you spot an entire industry containing people who could outperform the candidates everyone else is recruiting,
we want you going after them.
If you believe someone exceptional needs to be approached 10 times before they'll take your call, approach them 10 times.
And if you build a track record of consistently bringing exceptional people into this company,
we want your earnings to reflect it.
