Talent Acquisition Partner - Built Living

This isn't recruitment into an established business where everything is already mapped out. Join Built Living at an exciting stage of growth and help build the teams and talent pipelines supporting a new way of delivering housing across Australia.

Built Living is transforming how Australia delivers medium and high-density residential developments. A joint venture between Built and Wesfarmers, it combines development and construction expertise with advanced manufacturing, digital design and a product-led delivery model to create quality homes faster, with greater certainty and at scale.

As Talent Acquisition Partner, you will support Built Living as it scales nationally. This is not a high-volume recruitment role. The work is specialised, research-led and often complex. You'll need to get under the skin of unfamiliar roles, understand what great talent looks like, map where that talent sits in the market and find people with specialist skill sets who may not be actively looking.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with leaders to understand business and workforce needs and develop practical sourcing strategies.
• Manage end-to-end recruitment across operational and corporate roles, with an initial focus on building the teams supporting our new factory.
• Build proactive talent pools and talent maps for specialist, hard-to-find skill sets that are new to the Australian market.
• Bring structure and consistency to role briefings, sourcing, assessment, offers and candidate communication.
• Use market insights to influence hiring decisions and strengthen workforce planning.
• Create a high-quality candidate experience that brings the Built Living story to life.

Your attitude and approach will matter as much as your background. You are proactive, commercially minded and comfortable getting in front of leaders. You build trusted partnerships, but you are also prepared to ask difficult questions, offer a different perspective and keep the process moving toward the right outcome.

You will bring:

• Strong end-to-end recruitment experience, ideally gained across both agency and in-house environments.
• Experience recruiting specialist, hard-to-find talent, using direct sourcing and talent mapping rather than relying on advertising.
• The confidence and emotional intelligence to partner with demanding stakeholders, enabling them while constructively challenging where needed.
• An agile, solutions-focused mindset and the ability to think beyond standard sourcing approaches.
• A down-to-earth, genuine style and the confidence to operate with ambiguity as priorities and structures evolve.
• Strong process discipline, from thorough role briefings through to assessment and offer.  
• Experience recruiting in manufacturing, construction, engineering or operational environment would be valuable, but is not essential.
