Job description  

Recruiter (RPO Consultant)

Korn Ferry RPO

• Contract: 6-Month Fixed Term
• Primary Location: Sydney CBD
• Work Style: Hybrid – 2 days per week onsite

 

About the Role

• Korn Ferry is proud to partner with a leading financial services organisation, delivering end-to-end recruitment support through our RPO model. As a Recruiter within this team, you'll take full ownership of the recruitment lifecycle — building trusted relationships with hiring managers, delivering exceptional talent outcomes, and ensuring every candidate interaction reflects a best-in-class experience.
• Due to continued hiring demand, we're looking for an experienced Recruiter to join us on a 6-month fixed-term contract. Based primarily in Sydney CBD, this hybrid role (2 days onsite per week) puts you front and centre of a high-impact recruitment function within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• This is a role where you'll truly own the outcome, partnering closely with hiring managers, influencing talent decisions, and playing a pivotal role in shaping the workforce of a major financial services client.

 

What You'll Do

• Own the end-to-end recruitment process — manage the full lifecycle from briefing through to offer, ensuring quality and pace at every stage
• Partner with hiring managers — build strong, trusted advisory relationships, providing market insights, challenging briefs where needed, and guiding managers to make great hiring decisions
• Deliver an outstanding candidate experience — ensure every touchpoint is professional, timely, and reflective of a premium recruitment process that candidates remember for the right reasons
• Drive hiring outcomes — take accountability for filling roles on time and to quality, keeping hiring managers informed and pipelines moving at pace
• Manage stakeholder expectations — provide regular, transparent updates to hiring managers and client stakeholders, proactively addressing challenges and keeping recruitment on track
• Maintain data integrity and compliance — ensure all recruitment activity is accurately captured in the ATS and aligns with best practice and regulatory requirements
• Contribute to continuous improvement — identify opportunities to enhance processes, share insights with the team, and help raise the bar on how we deliver for our client

 

What You'll Bring

• Proven recruitment experience — a solid track record in end-to-end recruitment, ideally within an RPO, agency, or high-volume in-house environment
• Strong hiring manager management skills — confidence in building relationships, consulting on talent strategy, and influencing hiring decisions at all levels
• A candidate-first mindset — genuine commitment to delivering a recruitment experience that is engaging, respectful, and transparent from first contact to offer
• Excellent organisational skills — the ability to manage multiple roles, stakeholders, and priorities simultaneously without dropping the ball
• Sharp communication skills — articulate, professional, and persuasive, with the ability to tailor your approach to different audiences
• A results-driven attitude — proactive, accountable, and motivated by delivering great outcomes for candidates, hiring managers, and the broader team
• Financial services exposure — experience recruiting within the sector

 

Why Join Us?

At Korn Ferry, we believe great recruitment goes beyond filling roles — it's about delivering talent that drives real business impact and creating candidate experiences that set the standard. As a Recruiter in our RPO team, you'll have the autonomy to own your portfolio, the support of a collaborative and high-performing team, and the satisfaction of seeing your work directly shape outcomes for a leading financial services client.

If you thrive on building relationships, love the challenge of a fast-paced environment, and take pride in delivering recruitment that truly makes a difference — we want to hear from you!
