Recruitment Manager – Own Talent Acquisition, Onboarding & Retention Strategy

Location: Sydney CBD (Full-Time | 5 Days In-Office)
Salary: $100,000 – $140,000 + Super + Up to $40,000 Bonus

Join Australia's #1 Property Investment Group

At Freedom Property Investors, we’re on a mission to help busy, everyday Australians build wealth safely through property. With over 10,000 members served, 300+ full-time staff, and 2,000+ five-star Google reviews, we pride ourselves on being the industry leaders in investment-grade property.

We’re now looking for a high-performance operator to join our team as a Recruitment Manager — someone who will personally own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle across all departments and roles. From direct sourcing and onboarding to retention strategy, you will be both the architect and the engine behind how we scale our team.

About the Role

This is not a support function — this is an ownership role.

You will personally manage the entire recruitment pipeline, including sourcing top talent, headhunting directly, running hiring campaigns, overseeing onboarding, and implementing retention systems that scale. You’ll collaborate closely with hiring managers, marketing, and senior leadership — but you won’t delegate. This role requires execution, accountability, and urgency.

You’ll play a critical role in building the recruitment infrastructure that powers our continued national expansion.

What You’ll Be Doing

Personally own the recruitment lifecycle across all departments (sales, ops, corporate)

Headhunt and source top talent through direct outreach and campaign execution

Run national hiring campaigns across SEEK, LinkedIn, Meta, and other paid media

Write and optimise job ads, briefs, and recruitment comms to attract top performers

Launch and manage recruitment events — Careers Nights, Group Interviews, etc.

Build a recruitment database and maintain long-term pipeline visibility

Develop referral programs, alumni reactivation strategies, and internal mobility flows

Collaborate with marketing to launch high-performance paid recruitment funnels

Remap, document, and enforce structured onboarding processes across the company

Track 30/60/90 performance of new hires and flag risks or drop-offs early

Ensure all hiring managers are aligned and accountable for onboarding delivery

Monitor time-to-fill, source effectiveness, and early-stage retention rates

Deliver a full recruitment + retention strategy — systems, SOPs, scorecards, workflows

What You’ll Need

3+ years’ experience in recruitment — high-growth or high-volume preferred

Strong success soin urcing and placing across multiple departments (especially sales)

Experience running national campaigns, careers events, and volume onboarding

Proven ability to lead onboarding and reduce early-stage attrition

Confident working directly with senior leaders and department heads

Exceptional communication, copywriting, and recruitment marketing ability

Highly organised with strong data fluency and a bias for action

Do Not Apply If…

You only feel comfortable managing a few open roles at once

You wait for applicants instead of proactively sourcing talent

You don’t want to lead onboarding or track 90-day retention data

You want to work remotely — this is a full-time, in-office role in Sydney CBD

You’re not prepared to own the entire recruitment and retention lifecycle end-to-end

Your Scorecard (KPIs)

Headcount Fulfilment – Fill 90%+ of approved roles in the financial year

90-Day Retention – 90% of hires are still active and not under PIP at 90 days

Time-to-Fill – Average time-to-fill of 30 days or less

Strategy Delivery – Documented recruitment, onboarding, and retention framework delivered company-wide

What You’ll Get

💰 $100K–$140K base + Super + Up to $40K Bonus
📦 End-to-end ownership of recruitment, onboarding, and retention strategy
🚀 Direct access to leadership and influence over national hiring scale
🏢 In-office role at our Sydney CBD HQ with structured, high-growth environment
📈 Performance-based bonus tied to clear KPIs and business impact
