Recruitment Consultant - Labour Hire

Most labour hire recruiters have no idea what they're actually worth. Their billings would tell them — their payslip doesn't.

We're Harrison Barratt Group, and we've got warm labour hire desks open in Surry Hills. You take over an established desk — live clients and signed terms already in place — so you bill from week one, not month six.

Then you grow it. You'll have hundreds of onboarded, terms-already-signed accounts in our database to reactivate — warm leads most agencies would kill for — plus the autonomy and BD support to win new clients and build your own book. Start warm, then build big. You're backed by the full HBG machine: a network of clients and 10,800+ inducted, ticket-verified workers across construction, civil and trades.

What you'll actually take home

• $80K–$110K base + 12% super
• Uncapped commission up to 50%, paid monthly on the 15th — no holdbacks
• Realistic Year-1 OTE $150K+, with a clear path to $200K–$280K+ as you grow the desk
• Our commission is public — run your own billings through the live calculator at harrisonbarratt.com.au/careers and see exactly what you'd earn. No other agency in Sydney shows you that.

Why is this desk different?

• A genuine warm desk — established clients handed to you, not a phone book and a target
• Massive growth runway — hundreds of dormant, terms-already-signed accounts to reactivate, plus full BD support to win new business and grow your own book
• A real tech stack that does the admin for you — JobAdder CRM, HBG's own platform for allocations and worker rego/compliance, and Aircall that auto-logs your call notes (no more manually typing notes once a contact's set up), plus proprietary in-house tools you won't find anywhere else
• Built for where recruitment's going — HBG runs on AI-augmented, in-house tech. We don't fear automation; we wield it. The grunt work gets handled, so a good recruiter becomes a great one here — more selling time, more placements, less burnout
• Run construction, civil & trades, or build your own desk (civil, building services, manufacturing, warehousing, traffic or perm)
• An MD who still bills daily — learn from someone who does the job, not someone who forgot it
• A real career path: Consultant → Senior → Principal → Lead

The culture

Competitive but collaborative — we work hard, celebrate the wins and have a laugh doing it. The MD is on the tools beside you, top billers get monthly recognition and quarterly incentive trips (recent: Hunter Valley), and the Surry Hills office is somewhere you actually want to be: golf sim, pool table, Friday knock-offs, weekly team lunches, NRL and Melbourne Cup days. Hit target, get rewarded, build a career — not just a job.

The good stuff

• New MacBook + iPhone day one, and a company ute for site visits
• Up to 33 days leave plus your birthday off, and quarterly incentive trips
• Surry Hills HQ — golf sim, pool table, Friday wind-downs — 4 days office / 1 WFH

You'll fit if you

• Have 2–3+ years' agency labour hire or recruitment experience and a billing history — or you're hungry, with sales/industry experience and the drive to learn
• Can sign terms and grow an account, not just hold it
• Are strong on the phone, commercially sharp and comfortable on site
• A construction, civil or trades background is a bonus, not a must. Visa sponsorship is available for the right person.

Worst case, you walk away knowing your number.
