Recruitment Team Leader – Permanent Division
About Talent Focus
Established in ****, Talent Focus Recruitment has spent nearly three decades building a dominant reputation across the Eastern Seaboard and Asia Pacific.
Originally founded as a specialist boutique provider for FMCG, Operations, and Technical Supply Chains, we are completely Australian-owned and run by consultants who are genuinely passionate about what they do.
The Opportunity
Stepping into this pivotal leadership role, you will take immediate ownership of a tight-knit, dedicated permanent recruitment team of 3 consultants.
This is a hybrid 'player-coach' role where you will lead by example while maintaining your own high-performing billing desk while aggressively driving the strategic growth of the permanent division.
Your primary objective is clear: Scale the permanent team's revenue performance and systematically increase our headcount by hiring, mentoring, and developing the next generation of top-tier recruitment talent.
Key Responsibilities
Team Leadership & Development:
Lead, coach, and mentor a team of 3 permanent recruitment consultants, driving daily activities, setting KPIs, and fostering a high-performance culture.
Strategic Growth:
Build and execute a clear growth strategy to increase the permanent division's profitability, market share, and headcount.
Hands-on Billing:
Lead from the front by managing end-to-end permanent recruitment cycles for senior supply chain, procurement, and logistics professionals.
Business Development:




Leverage your network and Talent Focus's deep historic database to secure new client partnerships and key preferred supplier agreements (PSAs).
Brand Ambassadorship:
Maintain and project Talent Focus's honest, ethical, and team-oriented approach to recruitment.
What We Are Looking For
Proven Agency Track Record:
A minimum of 4–5+ years of 360 agency recruitment experience, ideally with deep domain knowledge in Supply Chain, Logistics, Procurement, or Manufacturing.
Leadership Experience:
Experience managing, mentoring, or stepping up to guide junior or mid-level recruitment consultants (even as a Senior Consultant looking for that formal step up).
Commercial Acumen:
A natural hunter mindset with a clear history of meeting personal billing targets and a genuine passion for scaling a business unit's headcount and revenue.
Strong Communication:
Exceptional relationship-building skills to engage with corporate stakeholders and supply chain executives smoothly.
What's In It For You?
Uncapped Earning Potential:
Enjoy a lucrative base salary paired with a highly rewarding personal commission structure plus a team override on your team of three.
Clear Career Path:
You are entering at a critical expansion point.
Success in this role directly maps to a Divisional Manager / Director pathway as the team scales.
Great Culture:
Work out of our modern Western Sydney office in a collaborative, supportive environment that values autonomy over rigid micromanagement.
