About the role
This is an opportunity to build your career in recruitment at a growing technology company. You’ll work closely with our People & Talent Lead to find talented people, keep hiring processes moving and give candidates a great experience from their first conversation with Blinq.
You’ll get exposure to hiring across engineering, product, design and commercial teams. To start, you’ll focus on sourcing, coordination and candidate communication. As your confidence and skills grow, you’ll take on screening conversations and more ownership of roles, with coaching along the way.
Whether you’re a graduate or have one to two years of experience, we’re interested in your curiosity, initiative and ability to follow through.
What you’ll do
Find great people. Research companies, map talent markets and source potential candidates through LinkedIn, our recruitment platform and other channels.
Start conversations. Write thoughtful outreach that gives people a clear reason to learn more about Blinq.
Keep hiring moving. Coordinate interviews, manage scheduling and follow up with candidates and hiring managers so nothing gets missed.
Create a great candidate experience. Keep people informed, prepared and supported throughout the process, including when the outcome isn’t what they hoped for.
Learn to assess talent. Help clarify what each role needs, review applications and develop your interviewing skills through shadowing and supported screening conversations.
Keep our recruitment data useful. Maintain accurate candidate records, track progress and help us understand what’s working and where we’re getting stuck.
Improve how we work. Explore ways to use AI and automation to reduce admin and improve research and communication, while applying sound judgment.
Help tell the Blinq story. Support job adverts, employer branding and initiatives that help the right people discover us.
What you’ll bring
You’re a graduate or have around one to two years of experience in recruitment, coordination, customer service, sales or a related field. Previous recruitment experience isn’t essential.
You’re organised and reliable. You can manage competing priorities, keep track of details and close the loop.
You communicate clearly and warmly, whether you’re writing an outreach message or speaking with a candidate.
You’re curious about people, technology and what makes someone successful in a role.
You take initiative. When something needs doing, you’re comfortable having a go and asking for help when you need it.
You’re open to feedback and willing to put it into practice.
You’re comfortable learning new tools and interested in how AI can help you work more effectively.
You handle personal information with care and understand the importance of discretion.
What success looks like
Candidates feel informed and respected throughout their experience with Blinq.
Interviews run smoothly, records stay accurate and follow-ups happen on time.
Your sourcing helps us connect with people who are relevant to our roles.
Hiring managers can rely on you to keep things moving and flag issues early.
You build the skills and judgment to take on increasing ownership of recruitment.
Why join Blinq?
You’ll work closely with an experienced People & Talent Lead, learn directly from hiring managers and see how a Australian start up builds its team.
This is a hands-on role with room to grow. You’ll contribute from day one, receive regular feedback and develop skills across sourcing, interviewing, candidate experience and recruitment operations.
You don’t need to arrive knowing everything. We’re looking for someone who’s keen to learn, takes pride in their work and wants to help build a great team.
