Ready to Step Into a Candidate Manager Role on the Gold Coast?
This is a full-time, immediate opportunity for a disciplined, organised, and delivery-focused Candidate Manager to join a fast-paced, high-performance recruitment business that has retained market-leading status on the Gold Coast for five consecutive years.
Based in a brand-new, state-of-the-art headquarters in the heart of the Southport business district, just one street back from the Broadwater Parklands and ocean frontage, this role offers a rare balance of premium corporate environment and Gold Coast lifestyle.
The business is recognised as the most reviewed recruitment agency on the Gold Coast, known for premium service standards, disciplined execution, and sustained leadership in the local market.
This role is intentionally designed for someone not coming from another recruitment agency. We are looking to mould and develop a high-potential operator with strong communication skills, discipline, and commercial awareness, rather than inherit habits from other firms.
The team operates at speed. Decisions are made quickly, communication is direct, and execution is non-negotiable. The pace is high, the standards are higher, and the expectation is ownership.
This is a client-facing and candidate-facing role, suited to someone with presence, confidence, and the ability to command a room, whether on the phone, in interviews, or in live professional conversations.
As a Candidate Manager, you will own the end-to-end candidate journey across live recruitment assignments, ensuring candidates progress efficiently, professionally, and in line with premium service standards.
This is a structured, professional role focused on delivery, accountability, and long-term development. You are accountable for candidate flow, communication, and outcomes, not just activity.
With a design-led office fit-out and direct exposure to senior-level operations, this is a genuine career-defining opportunity inside a premium, fast-moving professional environment.
Here's What You'll Be Doing
* Owning end-to-end candidate delivery across assigned recruitment assignments under consultant oversight.
* Conducting candidate screening, interviews, and suitability assessments.
* Managing candidate progression across all interview, offer, and feedback stages.
* Coordinating interviews and managing calendars to tight timeframes.
* Maintaining consistent, professional communication with all active and passive candidates.
* Identifying stalled roles or risks early and implementing corrective action.
* Ensuring candidate experience reflects a premium service standard.
* Maintaining accurate, compliant candidate records within recruitment systems.
* Ensuring all General Registration (Gen Reg) files are complete, compliant, and current.
* Preparing and submitting delivery updates and progress reporting as required.
* Coordinating closely with internal team members to ensure smooth workflow and delivery efficiency.
What You'll Bring to the Role
* Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple live roles simultaneously.
* Clear, confident phone manner and professional written communication.
* Presence and confidence to command conversations and build trust quickly.
* Ability to operate under pressure with discipline and sound judgement.
* Strong problem-solving capability, identifying risks early and acting decisively.
* Confidence managing deadlines, follow-ups, and competing priorities.
* High attention to detail and respect for compliance-driven processes.
* Comfort operating in a structured, salaried professional environment.
* A proactive mindset, you take ownership rather than wait for direction.
* A genuine desire to grow inside a high-performance business, not just hold a role.
* Backgrounds in sales, law, property, operations, hospitality leadership, executive support, or client coordination are highly regarded.
What's in It for You
* A competitive, stable salary aligned with experience and long-term progression.
* Monday to Friday hours with structure and predictability.
* A brand-new, premium office in the Southport business district.
* Immediate proximity to the Broadwater Parklands and ocean frontage.
* Ownership of delivery outcomes inside a market-leading recruitment business.
* Exposure to senior-level recruitment operations and decision-making.
* Clear development pathways into senior delivery, operations, or recruitment leadership roles.
* A polished, high-performing team culture built on pace, accountability, and standards.
* A workplace that reflects the Gold Coast lifestyle, ambitious, energised, and execution-driven.
