Summary

At Niche, we have a strategic focus on building stronger, more diverse and inclusive workplaces in Aotearoa New Zealand. In order to deliver on our vision and values we must identify the very best talent for our clients. To do this we need consultants with specialist skills in identifying the top potential talent for the roles our clients entrust us with.

We place huge value on our candidates, and appreciate that they trust us with their futures, and we take that responsibility really seriously.

You will be the voice of the candidate throughout the recruitment process and will constantly be building and nurturing talent communities. Your ability to identify the best people to go forward for new roles, will make you one of the most important people in our company.

About the role

Due to growth and client demand, we are seeking another Talent Sourcing Consultant to join our team. On a daily basis you will be:

Identifying professional and executive talent, and other specialist candidates as requested, via multiple channels including advertising, Niche database, referrals, networking, events and competitor mapping; social media including but not limited to Facebook and LinkedIn, Twitter and Newsfeed. This will include using Boolean search, and Google extensions/tools to support candidate search.
Connecting and getting to know candidates (whakawhānaungatanga), and developing the basis for long lasting relationships with our current and future leaders
Identifying new technologies and methods to make you more effective

About you

We are looking for an awesome communicator, who is a natural connector with a strong interest in using smart technology to help Aotearoa New Zealand grow stronger, more diverse and inclusive organisations.

If you’re already the friend introducing all your friends to one another, introducing family members to potential employers or vice versa (and maybe a bit of match making), this job is for you. A genuine interest in helping people realise their goals is a huge component of talent acquisition, and having a natural disposition toward wanting to help others is key.

Experience in human resources and/or the recruitment industry would be useful, but full training will be provided, and we are working with a global expert in talent acquisition to ensure the person taking on this role is set up for success. As such we are super keen to hear from people with a background in organisational psychology, anthropology, ontology and/or data science.

It would be fantastic if you have fluency or proficiency with te Reo Māori, Mandarin or Cantonese or a Pacific language but this is not a must (and we provide weekly te Reo Maōri training for all of our team).

Rewards and recognition

Our rewards include a competitive base salary, uncapped bonus structure, flexibility to work from home, telephone and ongoing training. Our top performers are recognised with a travel package to a recruitment conference and monthly rewards including celebratory lunches and rostered days off.

You should enjoy working as part of a team and have a flair for dealing with people from all walks of life. Niche places great importance on Diversity and Inclusion strategies in the workplace and ensuring that these standards are met within our recruitment processes. Dedication in this area, together with the desire to succeed will ensure your success.
