Junior Talent Consultant

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

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

We implement a rich tech stack that supports our clients in sustainable growth and deliver training to their existing teams to address the systemic challenges to diversity from the ground up.

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

The Role

You’ll work with clients acting as an extension of their team as you support them to grow. From day one, you’ll be helping shape great hiring experiences—primarily through candidate delivery—with opportunities to step up into more client-facing work as you grow.

This role is built for someone early in their recruitment career (around 1-2 years experience), who’s ready for more exposure, variety and learning. You won’t be doing any business development—just real, meaningful recruitment work that helps companies grow.

You’ll work closely with senior consultants and hiring teams, representing our clients’ brands and helping them run high-quality, inclusive hiring processes. Most of your impact will be through candidate engagement, research, sourcing, and project coordination—until you're ready to take on more.

You’ll genuinely get a seat at the table, learning from experienced partners and seeing first-hand how strategic recruitment decisions get made.

Day to Day, You'll:

• Build relationships with candidate communities and understand their aspirations, options, and challenges
• Run smart, structured sourcing campaigns using Fulcrum’s tools and tech
• Support candidate screening, shortlisting and engagement
• Collaborate with clients to understand role briefs and hiring priorities
• Help craft compelling job ads, outreach copy, and content
• Manage process coordination to ensure things run smoothly and on time
• Learn how to advise on inclusive hiring and candidate experience best practice
• Begin to take part in client meetings and planning sessions as you build confidence

Your Experience

You might be working in an agency, but feeling frustrated by constant BD targets or repetitive roles. Or you might be internal, but wanting more variety, challenge and learning. Either way, you’ve had a solid start and now want to accelerate.

You’ll thrive at Fulcrum if you’re organised, people-focused, and love seeing your work make a difference.

This Role Is for You If

• You’re early in your career but hungry to learn and grow
• You’re organised, diligent, and keep track of the details that matter
• You bring high energy and initiative - you don’t wait to be told
• You love working with people and take pride in delivering a great candidate experience
• You’re values-driven and care about doing things the right way
• You want to work somewhere that will actually develop you - not just use you

This Role May Not Be for You If:

• You prefer high-volume, transactional recruitment over thoughtful, quality-first work
• You’re only comfortable working in one niche and don’t like variety
• You’re not comfortable working with changing priorities or multiple stakeholders
• You prefer to work in isolation rather than as part of a team

Values and Behaviours

We believe that genuine partnerships are built by deeply understanding the needs, perspectives, and experiences of both our clients and candidates. Empathy is at the heart of what we do—it shapes every interaction, ensuring respect, care, and recognition of the unique value each individual brings.

Our behavioural values guide how we show up, collaborate, and make an impact every day:

• Partner: We align our shared goals through embedded collaboration, ensuring we work as an extension of our client’s team.
• Candour: We communicate directly and honestly, always acting with integrity and delivering on our promises.
• Inquisitive: We’re open-minded and committed to continuous learning and improvement.
• Impact: We strive to make a meaningful difference in everything we do, arriving inspired to create solutions and drive positive outcomes through our expertise and passion.

In return, we offer a great benefits package, flexibility, team socials, casual dress, and a laptop.

We have a tech stack that beats the majority of recruitment companies/internal teams, ensuring that you are set up for success and focus on the most important aspect of your role... helping teams and companies grow.
