Role overview

KordaMentha is expanding its People & Culture function and is looking for a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to join the national team in Sydney. This role is suited to someone at the early stage of a talent acquisition career who wants to move beyond basic coordination and take ownership of recruitment activity from start to finish.

Working with experienced Talent Acquisition and People & Culture professionals, you will build your recruitment capability while partnering with hiring managers and contributing to a wide range of hiring initiatives. These include experienced hire recruitment, candidate sourcing, stakeholder engagement, employer branding, and talent attraction projects.

You will manage your own workload, take growing ownership of recruitment campaigns, and contribute ideas that improve how the firm attracts and engages talent. This is a strong development opportunity for someone who is proactive, curious, and eager to grow into a broader talent acquisition career.

What you'll do

• Run selected recruitment processes end to end, covering advertising, screening, interview scheduling, offer preparation, and onboarding support.
• Source candidates proactively through LinkedIn Recruiter and help develop talent pipelines across priority business areas.
• Set up and maintain vacancies in the applicant tracking system and on external job boards.
• Assist with, and gradually take ownership of, graduate and vacationer hiring programs each year.
• Work with hiring managers to clarify role needs and help deliver a smooth candidate experience.
• Review applications, screen candidates, and prepare shortlists based on role criteria.
• Arrange psychometric testing, reference checks, and employment contract coordination.
• Take part in interviews and build confidence in assessing candidates and discussing options with stakeholders.
• Represent the firm at university events, careers fairs, and networking activities.
• Contribute to employer branding and wider talent attraction initiatives.
• Support broader People & Culture projects and administration, with exposure to the employee lifecycle.

What we're looking for

The ideal candidate has around 1 to 3 years of experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, human resources, or a similar coordination role. You should be comfortable working in a busy environment with several competing priorities and have a clear interest in building a career in talent acquisition.

Strong communication skills, confidence with stakeholders, and the ability to build relationships are important. You should also be highly organised, detail-focused, comfortable managing multiple hiring processes at once, and able to work both independently and as part of a supportive team.

This role also suits someone with solid administrative and technology skills, including Microsoft Office, plus a growth mindset and a willingness to learn new recruitment approaches and methods.

KordaMentha emphasises professional growth and employee support. Team members can benefit from expert mentoring, tailored learning through KordaMentha Business School, study assistance, and the Accelerate program for Analysts through to Associate Directors, designed to help build personal brand, network, and strategic insight.

The firm supports work/life integration through flexible working options, offers merit-based career progression, secondments, and exposure to senior leaders on meaningful projects.
