Talent Acquisition Specialist

Kinetic IT has built its reputation on delivering exceptional managed IT services across some of Australia’s most complex enterprise and government environments. Behind every great hire that keeps that engine running is a recruiter who understands both the technical landscape and the people within it. That’s where you come in.

About The Role

This is an exciting time to join our Resource Management & Talent Acquisition function.

We’re at a pivotal point in how we bring together workforce demand, resource planning and talent acquisition across Kinetic IT. This role is more than filling vacancies. You’ll have the opportunity to help shape best practice, influence how Talent Acquisition operates, and contribute to building a more proactive, consistent and enterprise-wide approach to attracting talent.

You’ll own end-to-end recruitment across a portfolio of technical and corporate roles, partnering closely with hiring managers, Resource Management and business leaders to attract and secure the capability Kinetic IT needs to deliver for our customers.

Responsibilities will include:

• Manage full-cycle recruitment from role briefing and sourcing through to offer, delivering a consistently strong candidate and hiring manager experience.
• Build and maintain proactive talent pipelines across IT infrastructure, service desk, cybersecurity and corporate disciplines.
• Partner with hiring managers to understand current and emerging capability requirements and develop practical attraction strategies.
• Coach and advise leaders on recruitment approaches, interview practices and fair, consistent selection processes.
• Help establish Talent Acquisition best practices, processes and ways of working as the new function continues to mature.
• Contribute to employer brand and attraction initiatives that authentically reflect Kinetic IT’s culture and values.
• Use recruitment data and market insights to help inform workforce and hiring decisions.
• Collaborate closely with Resource Management and the broader business to improve visibility of demand, internal capability and external hiring requirements.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who is comfortable delivering today while also helping us build for tomorrow.

• Demonstrated Talent Acquisition experience, either in-house or agency-side, with a strong track record of recruiting technical roles.
• A genuine understanding of IT infrastructure, technology or managed services environments.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to partner with leaders at different levels of the organisation.
• Experience proactively sourcing and developing talent pipelines rather than relying solely on advertised recruitment.
• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems and a range of sourcing tools beyond LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Experience recruiting for roles requiring Baseline or NV1 security clearance would be highly regarded.
• A practical, continuous-improvement mindset and an interest in helping establish best-practice Talent Acquisition processes.
• A collaborative approach that fits naturally within a close-knit, delivery-focused team.

Why Kinetic IT

This is an opportunity to join Kinetic IT at an important point in the evolution of Resource Management and Talent Acquisition.

You’ll have a genuine opportunity to influence how we work, challenge existing approaches, introduce best practice and help build a Talent Acquisition capability that supports Kinetic IT’s future workforce needs.

You’ll be part of a team working to create stronger connections between business demand, workforce planning, internal capability and external talent, making recruitment a proactive part of workforce planning rather than simply a response to vacancies.

Kinetic IT is an Australian-owned business with a strong commitment to its people and customers. You’ll work in a collaborative environment with flexible working arrangements, professional development opportunities and the chance to make a visible contribution to how our people capability evolves.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to recruit great people while also helping shape what great Talent Acquisition looks like, we’d love to hear from you.
