Do you have exceptional customer service skills and a desire to develop your career within talent acquisition? An opportunity has been created for a Talent Acquisition Advisor to join our Talent Acquisition and Strategy group to support our team in building a skilled workforce that supports the Department to deliver on its objectives now and into the future.

In this role you will work closely with experienced Talent Acquisition Partners across the end-to-end recruitment process, which will include scheduling interviews, preparing interview packs, coordinating assessment tasks, conducting reference checks and processing offers. High performers will be given the opportunity to help source and engage candidates and review and match our pre-assessed candidates to roles across our business.

This role is a critical part of our our senior executive recruitment team. Exceptional communication skills, a professional writing style and strong attention to detail is essential as you will be required to draft advertisements and prepare appointment paperwork for the Departments’ executive team. You will also be responsible for managing the team’s central inbox and calendar, including the coordination of interviews with executive candidates and key internal stakeholders.

This role will also support the team with our Workforce Mobility Program, helping us to redeploy our skilled workforce across government as work programs are completed.  You’ll be managing employee databases, requesting information and be the frontline helping us manage change.  You’ll need to be flexible and able to quickly pivot between tasks when supporting your team, using the knowledge you’ll gain of our business to help prioritise tasks.  

This is a unique opportunity to work in a high-touch human resource role performing a critical function supporting the operations of our Talent Acquisition team. Our team is focused on striving to be ‘a world class public service’ and customer service is at the forefront of everything we stand for.

What’s in it for me?
You’ll be part of a supportive team with a genuine commitment to development and progression, with a fast-paced and busy workload. You’ll get the opportunity to shape the future of our executive workforce, while continually learning and building new skills. Our Talent Acquisition Advisor roles are a professional development pathway for a career in recruitment.

This is an exciting time to join the team as we embark on a period of change focused on building a contemporary talent acquisition delivery model. Your contributions will directly impact our department and the communities we serve as you will work with a range of clients on initiatives that positively impact the people of NSW.

We also offer flexibility in work arrangements, diverse and fulfilling assignments, and prioritise work/life balance and wellbeing with initiatives like flex leave and access to support programs. Additionally, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, respected, and empowered to succeed.

What you will bring to the role
We’re looking for someone who has extensive experience in managing the administrative needs of a small team and demonstrates exceptional organisational, coordination, and time management skills. A background in executive search coordination or providing administrative support to a recruitment function is ideal. Your proven capacity for critical thinking and proactive anticipation of needs, combined with your ability to effectively manage competing priorities and a high-volume workload, will be key to your success in this role.

It is essential that you have a demonstrated ability to take initiative, have exceptional attention to detail and be someone who easily embraces and enhances new systems and processes. You’ll also be customer focused and bring proven experience in providing an elite customer experience at all touch points for your stakeholders, both internal and external.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to prove themselves and make a career in talent acquisition. If this role excites you, we want to hear from you!
