Senior Talent Acquisition & People Lead

Senior Talent Acquisition & People Lead
Location: Philippines – Remote
Employment Type: Full-Time Contract
Please note: This opportunity is exclusively for candidates who are currently based in the Philippines. We appreciate interest from candidates elsewhere; however, for this particular role, we can only consider Philippines-based applicants.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Talent Acquisition Manager to lead end-to-end recruitment across Australia and the Philippines, while also providing day-to-day HR and people support to our growing team.
Recruitment will be at the heart of this role. We believe great candidates aren’t always actively looking — and they aren’t always found on LinkedIn or traditional job boards.
We’re looking for someone who knows how to build networks, tap into professional communities, generate referrals, engage passive candidates and find creative ways to reach great talent.
Alongside recruitment, you’ll help keep the employee experience running smoothly by supporting onboarding, employee documentation, leave and attendance, probation reviews and routine people matters.
What You’ll Do
Own end-to-end recruitment across Australia and the Philippines.
Partner with hiring managers to understand the business need behind each hire.
Develop creative sourcing strategies for different roles and markets.
Proactively identify and engage passive candidates.
Build and nurture professional networks and talent pipelines.
Source beyond LinkedIn and traditional job boards through referrals, communities and alternative channels.
Screen and interview candidates and present thoughtful, well-assessed shortlists.
Coordinate interviews, offers, reference checks and pre-employment requirements.
Create a positive candidate experience from first contact through onboarding.
Use AI and recruitment technology to make sourcing and screening more effective.
Maintain recruitment trackers and provide clear hiring updates.
Support onboarding and offboarding of employees.
Maintain employee records and basic HR documentation.
Assist with leave, attendance and routine employee requests.
Coordinate probation and performance review schedules.
Be a first point of contact for general people and HR queries, escalating more complex matters when appropriate.
Support other people initiatives as the business grows.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of Talent Acquisition / Recruitment experience
Strong end-to-end recruitment and headhunting experience
A natural ability to network and build relationships
Resourcefulness in finding candidates beyond the usual platforms
Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills
Experience recruiting across different functions and seniority levels
Experience recruiting for Australian roles or businesses is highly desirable
Comfortable providing practical, day-to-day HR support
Basic HR / People Operations experience
Comfortable using AI, ATS and recruitment technology
Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
Organized, proactive and comfortable working independently
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is curious about people, creative about where to find them and takes pride in making the right hire — while being someone our team can rely on for everyday people support.
This is a full-time remote opportunity for candidates currently based in the Philippines.
Company details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
We look forward to hearing from you.
