Surry Hills, Sydney (a stone's throw away from Central Station)

We're The Onset; a specialist recruitment agency trusted by Australia's leading tech, product, and digital teams to build the future. From enterprise giants to VC-backed startups, we partner with the brands shaping the landscape and the talent making it happen.

Whether your domain is in technology, go-to-market, executive, or another professional vertical in legal, accounting, supply chain, or logistics - if you're a high performer, we want to hear from you.

This role is Principal-level. That means leadership without the red tape. Autonomy without being left in the dark. And a platform where your experience is actually valued.

You've already proven yourself. Here's what you get to own:

A vertical you'll be known for - Full ownership, with the backing of a respected brand, killer marketing, and real delivery support.

Strategic relationships - Work with decision-makers who trust your expertise, not just your CV flicks.

A performance runway - Access to our existing client base and freedom to open new ones.

A space to experiment and lead - No micromanagement. Just big ideas and the backing to run with them.

What's different about us?

We're not an agency that talks about "being different" then acts the same.

Here's What People Actually Stay For

A high-performance, low-ego team (many with 10+ years in the game)

Tailored growth - whether you want to lead a team or deepen your niche

Regular knowledge-sharing with founders, advisors, and big-name clients

Market-leading tools, AI systems, and a delivery, marketing and research team so you can spend more time where it counts

WFH days, and real work-life balance

Industry-leading commission and incentives (seriously, ask us about the numbers)

You'll Fit Right In If You

Have 2+ years of 360 recruitment experience (ideally in Australia)

Know your niche or are ready to define it

Want to be trusted to do great work, not told how to do your job

Are looking for real influence as a market expert

Value culture, outcomes, and long-term impact

You're a good human that always has others in mind is

Bonus: Experience recruiting for backend software engineering or enterprise applications (Salesforce, Adobe, SAP) roles

This isn't for everyone.

But if you're serious about your career - and want to surround yourself with top performers, and actually shape the future of your market - this is your shot.
