Talent Acquisition Specialist
Talent Acquisition Specialist – Full-Time | Fully Remote
Sick of work where you feel invisible, underutilised, or stuck doing work that doesn’t matter?
Where growth is slow, your ideas get ignored, and you’re surrounded by driftwood instead of real talent? Where “development opportunities” are a joke and the culture sucks the energy out of you?
It doesn’t have to be like that.
At Profitable Tradie:
• Your voice matters. Disagree, challenge, speak up. We actually listen.
• Stagnation doesn’t exist here. We push you to grow harder, faster, and smarter every day.
• You’ll work with legends. No driftwood, just top-tier talent who push you to be better every day.
• Impact is real. The work you do changes lives, both for clients and the team around you.
• Fun isn’t optional. Our banter is off the charts and we work hard while laughing harder.
If you’re done settling for mediocre and want to step into a role that actually excites, challenges, and rewards you, this is where you belong.
Who We Are
At Profitable Tradie, we are on a mission to turn great tradespeople into great business owners by scaling their businesses through smarter sales, better systems, elite teams, and solid financial strategy.
We are not a stuffy consultancy or a corporate HR machine. We are a fast-growing coaching and consulting business with heart, grit, and results to show for it. Our people are our foundation, and that is where you come in.
What You Will Be Doing
In this role, you will own the recruitment process end-to-end and partner closely with leaders to help build exceptional teams as the business grows.
This role will suit someone who enjoys finding great candidates others miss, not just managing job ads and applications.
You will:
• Partner with senior leaders to understand hiring needs and shape recruitment approaches
• Write compelling job ads that attract strong candidates, not just applicants
• Actively source and headhunt great people through LinkedIn and other channels
• Build candidate pipelines so we are always ahead of future hiring needs
• Lead structured interviews and confidently assess candidates, providing clear hiring recommendations
• Market map key roles to identify where strong talent sits in the market
• Manage multiple open roles without compromising quality
• Guide hiring managers through good recruitment decisions
• Deliver a professional and engaging candidate experience from first contact through to offer
• Use systems such as Teamtailor to manage pipelines, candidate communication, and recruitment data
• Track recruitment metrics and continuously improve our hiring process as we grow
This role is more than filling jobs. You will play a key role in building the team that drives the future of the business.
Who You Are
You are not just organised. You care deeply about hiring great people and building strong teams.
You bring:
• Experience in recruitment or talent acquisition
• Confidence running interviews and partnering with hiring managers
• Strong sourcing and headhunting capability
• The ability to identify high-quality candidates beyond what sits in the applicant pool
• Excellent organisation and the ability to manage multiple roles at once
• A proactive mindset and strong sense of ownership
• Confidence to challenge hiring managers when the candidate is not the right fit
• Commitment to delivering a great candidate experience
• A good sense of humour and the ability to keep things human and fun
