The Early Childhood permanent recruitment desk works with a broad mix of clients including: 

• National for profit providers
• Not for profit and community organisations
• Independent centre owners

The desk is warm, with regular incoming roles, strong brand recognition and real room to build. You will work alongside a consultant with five years’ tenure who performs at a high level and values teamwork. 
  
This role suits either: 

• An experienced recruiter who can build quickly, or
• A motivated sales or service professional who wants to move into recruitment

Salary will reflect experience:  

• Trainee level around 70,000 plus super
• Experienced recruiters up to 100,000 plus super
• Exceptional candidates up to 110,000 plus super

What the week looks like 
You will have clear structure without a micro managed environment. For example: 

• Early morning candidate calls to connect with educators around their long day care hours
• Daily seat profiling to source and qualify high quality candidates
• Structured business development mid morning to grow and re engage accounts
• Client meetings to understand culture and role requirements
• A focus on results rather than call numbers

The work is permanent recruitment, but remains fast paced due to ongoing demand for quality early childhood candidates. 

You will report to the National Early Childhood leader, with strong support from the Brisbane State Manager.

Who we're looking for: 

• The hiring manager is very open on background and is focused on the person more than years of experience. To be successful you are likely to:
• Have experience in recruitment or a related sales environment where speed to market and client management matter
• Show real hunger, positivity and motivation to build and grow a desk
• Be confident on the phone and able to build rapport quickly with a wide range of people
• Understand how to manage expectations, protect pricing and sell a service rather than simply discounting fees
• Enjoy talking to people in a warm, down to earth way. The early childhood space suits someone who is people focused and not overly rigid or analytical
• Be organised, reliable and willing to “pull your weight” in a small team environment
• Direct early childhood sector experience is a bonus but not essential.

Backgrounds that tend to transfer well include education recruitment, healthcare recruitment, retail recruitment, real estate and other high volume or relationship based sales roles. 

Benefits 
The company offers a mix of stability, culture and benefits that performs well in the current market:

• Five weeks annual leave
• Hybrid work, with one work from home day (Wednesdays)
• Flexible approach to hours within a 38 hour week
• Team based bonus structure combining individual and team performance
• Career pathways, including interstate, global and leadership growth
• Dog friendly office
• Annual national gala trip, plus additional team trips and incentives
• EAP and wellbeing support
