About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Recruiter to join a large-scale Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) program supporting a major organization within the Australian resources sector.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, this is a highly visible, hands-on recruitment role responsible for managing end-to-end recruitment across a portfolio of specialist, technical, engineering, operational, project, and corporate positions.
The successful candidate will bring strong recruitment experience within mining, resources, energy, engineering, construction, infrastructure, or other heavy industries, along with a solid understanding of the Australian talent market.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable operating within a large and complex organization, partnering directly with hiring managers and senior stakeholders, proactively sourcing difficult-to-find talent, and managing recruitment processes from intake through offer and onboarding.
Previous experience working within an RPO environment or an in-house Talent Acquisition function within the mining/resources sector would be highly valued.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the full recruitment lifecycle across an assigned portfolio of vacancies, from intake and sourcing through screening, interview coordination, offer management, and successful placement.
- Partner with hiring managers to understand role requirements, technical capabilities, team environments, and business priorities.
- Develop tailored recruitment strategies for each vacancy based on talent availability, location, skill requirements, and market conditions.
- Manage multiple vacancies simultaneously while maintaining quality, responsiveness, and an excellent candidate experience.
- Maintain accurate and timely recruitment activity and candidate information within the ATS.
- Proactively identify risks or challenges that may impact recruitment delivery and recommend appropriate solutions.
- Take a proactive, direct-sourcing-led approach to identifying and engaging talent.
- Apply strong knowledge of recruitment within mining, resources, energy, engineering, construction, infrastructure, or related heavy industries.
- Build strong, consultative relationships with hiring managers, HR teams, Talent Acquisition stakeholders, and business leaders.
About You
You are a strong, hands-on recruiter who understands how to find and engage difficult-to-reach talent rather than relying primarily on job advertisements or inbound applications.
You understand the Australian resources talent market and can confidently engage with engineers, technical specialists, project professionals, operational talent, and senior candidates.
