Make an impact at Serco

We're looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Business Partner to join our Defence and Maritime team. Working closely with the Talent Acquisition Lead, you will support the recruitment of specialist Defence, Maritime and technical professionals across Australia and New Zealand.

This is a hands-on role where your ability to proactively identify, engage and build relationships with passive candidates is just as important as your expertise in managing end-to-end recruitment processes.

If you enjoy solving complex recruitment challenges, building talent pipelines and partnering with hiring managers to secure exceptional talent, you'll thrive in this role.

As a Talent Acquisition Business Partner, you'll make a positive impact by:

· Manage end-to-end recruitment across specialist Defence, Maritime and technical positions

· Proactively source and engage passive candidates using sourcing tools, market mapping and targeted search strategies

· Build and maintain talent pipelines for niche and specialist roles

· Develop sourcing strategies and recruitment campaigns

· Build trusted relationships with hiring managers, providing recruitment advice and market insights

· Create engaging job advertisements and deliver an exceptional candidate experience from attraction through to onboarding

· Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the Defence Talent Acquisition team

Serco is a place for you

You'll enjoy working in a collaborative environment where you'll partner closely with an experienced team while having the autonomy to manage your own portfolio. You're organised, proactive and comfortable balancing multiple priorities without compromising the candidate or hiring manager experience.

You could be a great fit if you have:

· Demonstrated experience proactively sourcing passive candidates for niche specialist positions

· Experience recruiting within Defence or Maritime industry will be highly regarded

· Proven success using LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing techniques to identify and engage talent

· Experience managing end-to-end recruitment within an internal Talent Acquisition or agency environment

· Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to build trusted relationships

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills

· Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple recruitment campaigns simultaneously

Please note:

• This position carries trust and responsibility. To support this, a comprehensive probity assessment, including a National Police Check, is a key part of the selection process for this role.

• As this role requires an Australian Defence Security Clearance, applicants must be Australian Citizens and eligible to obtain and maintain that clearance.
