Job Description
Smart. Commercial. Ambitious. And probably not a recruiter.
n
Maybe you studied law but don't want to be a lawyer.
n
Maybe you smashed a commerce, economics, marketing or tech degree and discovered the traditional graduate path feels a little... predictable.
n
Or maybe you're a few years into your career and have realised you're really good at people, opportunity and making things happen.
n
We should talk.
n
Aquent is looking for a seriously bright, commercially minded person to join our Australian business and learn how to build a market from the ground up.
n
And to be clear:
n
We're deliberately NOT looking for someone from recruitment.
n
We can teach you recruitment.
n
What's much harder to teach is curiosity, commercial instinct, resilience, judgement, confidence and ambition.
What will you actually do?
n
This is a
360-degree commercial role
spanning business development, relationship building, talent and recruitment. You'll learn to spot opportunity before it turns into a job vacancy.
n
You'll turn those signals into conversations, relationships, opportunities and revenue. Then you'll learn the other side: finding brilliant people, interviewing, advising clients, negotiating, closing placements and growing accounts.
Who are you?
n
First, the non-negotiable:
n
You must have a university degree and a strong record of academic achievement.
n
Your degree could be in law, commerce, education, art, economics, business, psychology, marketing, technology, engineering or something we haven't thought of.
n




We care less about what you studied and more about what your results tell us about how you think and perform.
n
You might be an outstanding graduate or already a few years into sales, consulting, professional services, account management, customer success or another commercial career.
n
What we're really looking for is someone who is:
n
Someone who asks excellent questions.
n
Someone who notices things.
n
Someone who treats setbacks as data, not defeat
n
Someone who wants their performance to have a direct relationship with what they earn.
n
And someone who backs themselves.
What you DO NOT need?
n
In fact, if your career has predominantly been in recruitment, this particular role isn't for you.
n
We're intentionally looking outside the industry for someone with a different perspective and the raw ingredients to become exceptional.
What do you get?
n
A competitive base salary plus uncapped commission.
n
And when we say uncapped, we mean it.
n
You'll also get:
n
n
Unlimited annual leave
n
$8,000 annual Learning & Development allowance
n
Access to Aquent's company-owned holiday retreat homes
n
Global career opportunities
n
Exposure to emerging AI and recruitment technology
n
A seriously experienced team to learn from
n
n
There isn't a predetermined ceiling on where this can take you. So if you're smart, ambitious and sitting there thinking "I'm capable of more than what I'm doing now." come and prove it.
