-Can you multitask and get the job done at lightening speed without compromising on important details?

We want a team player, a hot talent matcher, a key connector and a rock star in recruitment. if you're not there yet but highly ambitious, thats ok - we will train you! We just need you to come with a winners attitude.

We're not looking for bags of experience here. Our only requirement is that you need to be competitive, ambitious and attention to detail with speed as your strongest asset. If you were an athlete at school, or you play sports on a regular basis as well as have either 1 year of recruitment experience, event promotion or similar, we want to talk to you!

Some of our top billers started at The Talent Boom with no experience apart from a "not giving up" attitude, and laser focused on making money and closing the deal.


We need someone that can grasp the importance of recruitment and headhunting from every angle and finding and retaining the right creative, digital, product and AI talent to make matches with our product, SaaS, AI, advertising agency and consulting clients.

We also want someone who is strategic with a good eye for detail and moves at lightening speed!

As you can probably tell from our job brief, we’re not a corporate environment, so we’re keen to hear from seriously solid headhunters who want to be in a more flexible, creative environment whilst still maintaining top billings.
