We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team. You don't need a background in recruitment, although this would be highly regarded. What matters more is how you connect with people, your drive and energy, how you handle setbacks, and your commitment to a successful career.

Who We Are
Italent (Innovative Talent Group) is a Melbourne-based recruitment agency working across the property, construction, accounting and real estate industry. Our team are highly driven, close-knit, collaborative, and led by down-to-earth leaders who have over 25 years of combined expertise. We're not about big personalities or hard-sell energy, we're about doing right by our clients and candidates, and building long lasting connections and relationships.

Who We're Looking For
We are interested in those with a background in customer facing, telesales, client services, or account management - industries where you've already built the following key traits that translate well into recruitment:

• Resilience - you don't let setbacks and 'lows' knock you off course
• A people person - you build trust quickly and genuinely enjoy connecting with others
• Empathetic - you listen well and understand what clients and candidates actually need
• Sound judgement & instincts - you read people and situations well, and make thoughtful decisions rather than rushed ones
• Influential - you are able to shape conversations and guide outcomes
• Motivated by results - you're driven to hit targets, but relationships come first
• Coachable and eager to learn - you take feedback on board and apply it quickly

You might already have experience in recruitment or a fast-paced, relationship and target-driven role. You could also be earlier in your career with strong transferable skills and the hunger to learn. Either way, we will provide training and mentorship to ensure your success.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building and maintaining genuine, long-term relationships with clients and candidates
• Sourcing, screening and placing candidates into permanent roles
• Using sourcing channels such as SEEK Talent Search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and our internal database (JobAdder) to find candidates
• Screening candidates both on the phone and face-to-face
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle from first conversation through to offer and placement
• Fostering existing relationships while bringing in new business
• Building your personal brand by marketing yourself as a trusted advisor and consultant in the market
• Contributing to a collaborative team environment where support goes both ways

What's In It for You

• A genuine, long-term career path with uncapped earning potential - OTE $120-200k+
• Structured, hands-on training and ongoing mentoring from a supportive leadership team
• A collaborative, down-to-earth culture 
• A relaxed, local office environment in Essendon
• The chance to build a career on your own judgement and relationships, not just a phone script
