Recruitment Consultant (Temp Desk)

_{08th September, 2026}

Most temp desks advertised have to be built from nothing. This one is already running, with existing clients, repeat bookings and more opportunity than we can currently service.

We are looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to take it over and grow it.

Who are we?

• italent (Innovative Talent Group) is a Melbourne based agency working across real estate, property, construction and accounting
• Leaders with over 25 years of combined expertise, working alongside you on the desk
• Close knit and down to earth, with no hard sell energy and no phone scripts

• Taking over the temp desk and running it like your own business unit
• Managing multiple live assignments at once, from booking through to completion
• Staying on top of every follow up, with clients and candidates, without being chased
• Building a bench of ready to go temps and keeping those relationships warm between assignments.
• Sourcing and onboarding new temps weekly
• Growing the desk with new business and converting temps into permanent and temp to perm placements

• Agency recruitment experience, essential. Temp or contract desk experience highly regarded
• A high level of care and empathy, because your candidates are people, not names on a bench
• A real sense of urgency, because on a temp desk the placement goes to whoever moves first
• Creative thinking when the obvious candidate is not available and the client still needs someone tomorrow
