Senior Recruitment Consultant | Data & AI | Financial Services
I'm working with one of Australia's most established specialist recruitment businesses, with a strong reputation across the financial services market.
They've been operating for 20+ years and work with some of the country's biggest financial institutions across
Technology, Data, Transformation, Risk, Investments, Finance, Marketing, Credit and Lending
.
They're now looking to bring an experienced
Data & AI recruiter
into the Sydney Technology team.
The opportunity
This is
not a cold-start desk
.
You'll inherit an established Data & AI market, working closely with the NSW Technology Director, who is already well connected across this space.
There's a pretty good combination here of
established business
including
4+ house accounts
currently generating multiple roles across Data, so you'll have active opportunities and relationships to work with from day one with the
ability to work across perm and contract with no ring fenced clients.
Another big positive,
your manager is directly incentivised by the performance of the team,
so there's a genuine interest in making sure you have good work, the right support and the chance to bill.
What you'll be doing
Manage and grow an established
Data & AI recruitment desk
Work across a number of established financial services clients
Develop existing relationships and identify new opportunities within those accounts
Build strong candidate networks across Data, AI and associated technology markets
Manage the full 360 recruitment process from business development through to placement




Work closely with the Technology leadership team and other specialist consultants
Identify opportunities to increase account penetration and develop new areas of business
What they're looking for
Proven experience recruiting within
Data, AI or closely aligned technology markets
A strong understanding of the Sydney recruitment market
A genuine 360 recruitment background — comfortable with both candidates and clients
Experience working with mid-to-large enterprise clients
A commercial mindset and an interest in growing accounts rather than simply filling jobs
The ability to operate independently while still being part of a collaborative team
Why consider it?
You're not being asked to walk in, cold-call for six months and build a desk from zero. There are existing clients, active Data requirements and a manager who is heavily invested in the performance of the team.
On top of that, the business offers:
25 days annual leave
Join an AFR BOSS Best Places to Work business
Paid parental leave for primary and secondary carers
10 additional personal days each year for reproductive health needs
Hybrid working — 3 days office / 2 days WFH
Flexible start and finish times
Robust operational support across reference checking, CV preparation, contractor care and administration
Tailored learning and development programs
Regular social, wellbeing and charity initiatives
Bespoke BI dashboards covering placements, contractors, account penetration and roles worked
Access to multiple AI tech stacks
A genuinely collaborative environment rather than a collection of individual desks
