Australian Skilled Migration (ASM), part of the Capricorn Group, is looking for someone with building and construction experience who understands tradespeople, can recognise practical capability and enjoys building business relationships.
What you bring is industry knowledge, sound judgement and the confidence to turn conversations into business opportunities.
About the role
Reporting to the General Manager, you will recruit construction and welding candidates from Australia and overseas, connecting skilled workers with employers who need them.
You will manage the recruitment process from sourcing and interviewing candidates through to placement. You will also develop client relationships, follow up enquiries and convert leads into recruitment engagements.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Sourcing and attracting candidates across construction roles.
• Interviewing tradespeople to evaluate their practical knowledge, work history and suitability for employer requirements.
• Preparing candidate shortlists and coordinating employer interviews and selection.
• Building a strong understanding of clients’ businesses, workforce needs and role requirements.
• Following up leads, identifying new client opportunities and securing recruitment business.
• Managing candidate and client relationships throughout the recruitment process.
• Working closely with ASM’s migration team to coordinate progress towards placement.
• Keeping recruitment records accurate and providing timely updates to clients and candidates.
About you

• Good organisation and the ability to manage several candidates and vacancies at once.
