Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Specialist – Part-Time Contractor

Independent Contractor | Flexible Part-Time
Performance bonuses for successful hires

Home Crew is seeking an experienced and proactive Talent Acquisition / Recruitment Specialist to manage recruitment on a flexible, part-time contractor basis.

This is a hands-on recruitment role, not a general HR administration position. You will identify, screen and progress suitable candidates across roles including:

• Flyer distributors and walkers
• Handymen and tradespeople
• Estimators
• Operations and administration staff
• Other roles as the business grows

Responsibilities

You will independently manage most of the recruitment process, including:

• Writing and posting job advertisements across Indeed, SEEK and other platforms
• Reviewing applications and proactively sourcing candidates
• Conducting phone screens and first-stage interviews
• Assessing suitability, communication and motivation
• Checking references and documentation
• Coordinating interviews with management
• Managing candidate follow-up and recruitment pipelines
• Assisting with offers and onboarding
• Following up new hires at 30, 60 and 90 days
• Maintaining recruitment records and improving hiring processes

The goal is for management to meet only candidates who have been thoroughly screened and are genuinely suitable.

About You

You will have:

• Proven recruitment or talent acquisition experience
• Strong communication, interviewing and organizational skills
• Sound judgement and attention to detail
• A proactive, persistent and professional approach
• The ability to work independently and manage multiple vacancies
• Confidence recruiting both blue-collar and professional candidates

Experience recruiting tradespeople, field workers, contractors or high-volume operational roles is highly regarded. Agency recruitment experience is also advantageous.

Contractor Arrangement

This is an independent contractor position. You will require your own ABN and invoice Home Crew for services.

The role will initially involve approximately 8–12 hours per week, with flexibility depending on recruitment needs. Most work can be completed remotely, with occasional meetings or interviews in Melbourne’s south-east.

Remuneration

$65 per hour + GST

Performance bonuses will also be paid for successful hires, linked to retention milestones such as 30, 60 and 90 days. The arrangement may be reviewed as the relationship develops and results are demonstrated.

About Home Crew

Home Crew is an established Melbourne home maintenance and renovation business servicing homeowners across Greater Melbourne. We are growing our team and building a more structured recruitment function.

You will work directly with management and have significant autonomy to improve how we attract, assess and hire people.

• Your recruitment experience
• The roles and industries you have recruited for
