Recruiter

Talent Researcher & Outbound Specialist

Full-time | Remote | Australian business hours | Confidential client

About the Company

Our client is a growing boutique executive search and recruitment business built on the belief that recruitment should be smarter, more strategic and grounded in genuine partnerships.

They partner with businesses across Australia to recruit high-performing professionals in Accounting & Finance, Sales, Marketing, Operations and Executive Leadership.

They do not wait for applications. They find people, and they find clients, by going out and looking. Research, headhunting and market mapping are how every assignment is won and delivered.

The Opportunity

This is a dual-outbound role. You will spend your week finding exceptional candidates before anyone else does, and finding the companies that need them.

Half your focus is candidate outbound. Researching organisations, mapping industries, identifying passive talent and building pipelines the consultants can place from.

Half your focus is client outbound. Researching target organisations, identifying hiring signals and decision makers, and running structured outreach that lands meetings for the Australian consultants.

You are not carrying a sales target and you are not closing deals. You are the reason there is something in the diary. If nothing goes out, nothing comes back, and that is the job.

Working remotely during Australian business hours, you will be the engine behind every assignment the business runs.

Key Responsibilities
Candidate side
Conduct targeted searches across LinkedIn Recruiter, ---------- pany pages, SEEK Talent Search and the company's ATS
Headhunt passive candidates for professional and executive-level roles
Build talent maps across Accounting & Finance, Sales, Marketing and Operations
Identify competitors and target organisations for search assignments
Source candidate contact details using available research tools
Produce high-quality longlists and shortlists for consultants
Monitor candidate availability and market movements
Client side
Research and build target account lists using hiring signals, headcount growth, funding, leadership changes and job posting activity
Identify the actual decision maker rather than the person who answers
Write and run outbound sequences by email and LinkedIn, personalised enough that they get read
Book qualified meetings into consultants' diaries and brief them properly before the call
Follow up. Most of the value in outbound sits in touches three through seven
Both
Maintain accurate, current records in the ATS and CRM. The systems only work if the data is real
Research new industries, organisations and emerging talent markets
Maintain strict confidentiality and data security standards
What We're Looking For
Previous experience in recruitment sourcing, talent research, executive search, or B2B outbound and lead generation
Strong experience with LinkedIn Recruiter
Experience with SEEK Talent Search
Experience with ATS and CRM platforms
Excellent online research and headhunting skills
Demonstrable outbound writing ability. You will be judged on whether your emails get replies, not on how many you send
Strong attention to detail
Excellent written English, genuinely excellent, since your writing goes directly to Australian executives
High levels of organisation and self-management
The ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a remote Australian team
Curiosity, persistence, and the ability to think creatively when a candidate or a decision maker is hard to find
Exposure to Accounting & Finance, Sales, Marketing, Operations or Executive Leadership recruitment is highly regarded
Who This Is Not For

Being direct so nobody wastes their time:

In-house or internal talent acquisition backgrounds. In those roles the requisitions come to you. Here nothing comes to you. It is a different muscle and this role will be frustrating if that is your experience.
Anyone who needs a warm list, an inbound queue, or someone else to tell them who to contact. You build the list.
Anyone who thinks outbound means sending the same message to four hundred people. That does not work here and will not be tolerated.
Anyone uncomfortable being measured on reply rates and meetings booked.
Technical Requirements
Reliable high-speed internet connection
Modern computer, dual monitors preferred
Webcam and headset suitable for daily video calls
Quiet, professional home office environment
Backup internet connection preferred
Working Hours
Monday to Friday
8:00am to 4:00pm AEST
