Permanent Recruitment Consultant – Childcare Sector

We’re looking for a driven, strategic, and high-performing recruiter who’s focused on building meaningful, long-term hiring solutions. This role calls for someone who works with integrity, communicates with impact, and can navigate complex client needs with professionalism and care.

About the Role:

You’ll be responsible for managing a permanent recruitment desk within the early childhood education and care sector. This is a 360° role: sourcing exceptional talent, building deep client relationships, and navigating the intricacies of the sector with confidence and precision.

What We’re Looking For:

Minimum 4+ years of 360 recruitment experience, with demonstrable success in permanent placements across childcare or early learning sector.
Proven success in permanent recruitment, ideally in education, healthcare, or a similarly complex, compliance-driven sector.
Exceptional business development skills and have built a large client portfolio.
Deep understanding of retained search, headhunting techniques, and complex stakeholder management.
Data-driven mindset: you know your numbers and can translate KPIs into performance strategy.
Advanced communication, negotiation, and objection-handling skills — both written and verbal.
Experience using modern ATS/CRM platforms, specifically Bullhorn, HubSpot, Boolean search, market mapping, and competitor analysis.
A degree in Business or HR-related is preferred.
Strong commercial acumen – you understand how to manage margins, negotiate effectively, and build sustainable pipelines.
Key Responsibilities

Manage job vacancy advertising, coordinate interviews, assess applicants, and lead staff hiring.
Keep and update employee records using our HR information system.
Run the staff onboarding program, including briefing new hires on service terms, pay, and advancement pathways.
Gather and organise employment details from hiring managers — job descriptions, wage info, and employment conditions.
Provide current vacancy updates to both potential applicants and hiring managers.
Facilitate negotiation of employment agreements and compensation terms with new recruits.
Support employee engagement by coordinating consultative committees and workplace participation initiatives.
What We Offer

A respected brand with an established presence in the childcare sector.
Warm leads, loyal clients, and a genuinely collaborative team culture.
Competitive base salary + uncapped commission structure that rewards real performance.
Autonomy, trust, and the tools to succeed, no fluff, just results.
Professional development that actually aligns with your career goals.
Salary: Base + Super + Commissions ($130K OTE)
