AOS - Talent Sourcing & Candidate Manager
Job Title: Candidate Manager & Sourcer
Location: Remote
Type: Full-time
Reports To: Founder
About the Role
We're a specialist recruitment business focused on civil and structural engineering talent across Southeast Queensland's building and development sector. We operate on a relationship-led model, prioritising long-term partnerships over transactional recruitment. AI and automation now handle the operational and admin workload, freeing up this role to focus purely on people: sourcing, screening, and relationship-building.
This is a communication-heavy role — LinkedIn outreach, candidate screening calls, and ongoing engagement — for someone warm, proactive, and confident representing the Founder directly with candidates.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and manage LinkedIn sourcing projects; identify and shortlist high-quality candidates
- Conduct candidate screening calls ahead of Founder meetings; gather and summarise candidate fit, motivation, and availability
- Act as primary point of contact for candidates; maintain warm, consistent communication and run nurture workflows
- Maintain accurate, enriched candidate records in the CRM
- Provide structured end-of-day reports and participate in regular check-ins
- Support the Founder by preparing shortlists, summaries, and candidate insights; act as a thinking partner, not just an executor
Essential Skills & Experience
- Previous experience supporting a recruitment agency or recruitment function
- Confident, warm verbal communication — comfortable with outbound and screening calls
- Strong written and verbal English
- Strong LinkedIn sourcing capability
- Confidence working with CRMs and candidate databases
- High attention to detail and process discipline
Highly Desirable
- Experience with recruitment automation tools and email sequencing
- Experience supporting founder-led or small recruitment businesses
- Exposure to Australian recruitment markets
You'll work closely with the Founder, represent the business directly with candidates, and help shape how we do things as we scale.
