Talent Consultant

Fulcrum is changing the talent game. We are not a recruitment agency.

We are an embedded talent partner to some of Australia's most ambitious companies and act as an extension of their team, to enhance their employer brand, redesign hiring processes, source the best talent out there, and build a more diverse, engaged, and productive workforce.

FY2027 has kicked off with serious momentum. New clients. New growth. We're building the team to match.

We've built our own AI tools to handle the repetitive parts of recruitment, so you're not stuck doing admin. You'll spend your time on what actually matters, getting under the skin of the business, reading the candidate, and making good calls.

We don't believe in culture-fit, we believe in culture-add.

And as an employer, we believe our people have the best platform for success when their voices are heard and their differences are celebrated for the value that they bring.

The Role

Most people treat talent as a fill the role exercise. We don't. You'll help clients build a stronger talent system across hiring, employer brand, salary strategy and retention, and connect them with your extensive networks of specialist candidates along the way.

You'll help our clients create inclusive systems and processes throughout the talent acquisition lifecycle and connect them with your extensive networks of specialist candidates.

Being embedded in our client's business means that your relationships are from C-Suite to entry-level. It means your impact is throughout the whole business, not just on one role.

You truly have a seat at the table with awesome companies.

You will not only impact the recruitment processes of your clients but also gain exposure to strategic decision-making, opening new pathways for your career growth.

Day to Day, You'll:

• Build relationships with candidate communities and understand their specific career aspirations, options, and obstacles.

• Own the Fulcrum technology and show clients how it transforms their hiring function.
• Spot emerging trends in the market and communicate them to clients and the Fulcrum team.

Your Experience

Maybe you're in a traditional recruitment agency but don't love the KPIs. We're on a subscription model with no placement fees, so you're not chasing a number. You're building something. Or perhaps you're already internal but want a broader and more consultative role.

You've got 2 to 5 years under your belt and you're ready for something different.

There's no must-have experience at Fulcrum, but we know that you'll thrive in this role if you're a natural in:

• Offering advice to both clients and candidates on salaries, development, career progression, and so on.
• Producing market insights and analysis to influence your stakeholders' hiring strategy, process, and decisions.
• Managing stakeholder relationships to ensure we're having a two-way conversation with candidates and clients.
• Getting under the skin of your client's industry, what they do, their work culture and environment, and building the narrative you'll take to the candidate market.
• Creating engaging content to market roles.
• Using a variety of methods to identify, approach and engage niche talent. Being creative about reaching people and building relationships.
• Developing and driving efficient, unbiased recruitment processes for yourself and your clients.

Values and Behaviours

At Fulcrum, we believe that understanding the needs, perspectives, and experiences of both our clients and candidates is the foundation of true partnership. We lead with empathy, ensuring that every interaction is grounded in respect and care, recognising the unique value each individual brings.

Behavioural Values

There's no such thing as a perfect candidate, so don't let impostor syndrome hold you back. You don't need 100% of the preferred qualifications to add incredible value to our team. Our partners come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you're passionate about what you could accomplish here, we'd love to hear from you.
