Talent Acquisition Specialist | Parramatta

12‑Month Contract | Parramatta, NSW | Hybrid

Are you a recruiter who likes ownership, pace, and variety — and wants to see the impact of your work on the ground?

At Hitachi Construction Machinery Oceania (HCMO), we’re continuing to strengthen our Talent Acquisition capability while covering a key parental leave role in the team. This is a hands‑on, end‑to‑end recruitment opportunity where you’ll play a genuine role in keeping critical hiring moving across the business nationally.

We’re open to both experienced internal TA professionals and agency recruiters who are ready to step into – or continue in – an in‑house environment.

The Role

This is a 12‑month contract supporting national recruitment across a mix of operational, technical and corporate roles.

You’ll start by recruiting across multiple regions to build a strong understanding of our people, sites and workforce needs, before transitioning into a more defined portfolio. You’ll be trusted to run your desk, partner closely with hiring leaders, and progress roles in a market that doesn’t always move easily.

This role will suit someone who enjoys:

• Managing competing priorities
• Working with varied stakeholders across locations
• Moving roles forward with limited hand‑holding
• Balancing stakeholder needs with market realities

You’ll be supported by an experienced and a collaborative TA team, but you’ll own delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Delivering end‑to‑end recruitment across a diverse national portfolio
• Partnering with hiring managers to understand role requirements, market challenges and realistic hiring strategies
• Proactively sourcing and engaging passive talent using multiple channels
• Building and maintaining talent pipelines for recurring and hard‑to‑fill roles
• Supporting early‑stage recruitment activities including video assessments and interview coordination
• Managing recruitment activity and reporting through PageUp
• Driving roles to close within agreed timeframes while maintaining a strong candidate experience

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to tick every box, but you’ll likely bring:

• Solid experience in end‑to‑end recruitment (internal TA or agency)
• Confidence working in a fast‑paced, outcome‑driven environment
• The ability to quickly build credibility with stakeholders at different levels
• Strong sourcing capability, including engaging passive candidates
• A practical, solutions‑focused mindset — you see obstacles and work around them
• A genuine sense of ownership and follow‑through

Experience recruiting blue‑collar, technical, operational or hard‑to‑source roles will be highly regarded.

What You’ll Get

• Hybrid working (up to 2 days WFH after onboarding)
• A supportive, experienced TA team with clear direction and trust
• Autonomy to manage your portfolio and make a visible impact.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Access to employee discounts
