Talent Acquisition Specialist – The Wests Group Australia

Full Time | Newcastle-Based

About the Position

Reporting to the Talent & Capability Manager, this position plays a key role in delivering exceptional recruitment outcomes across The Wests Group's diverse portfolio of hospitality, entertainment, fitness and sporting venues - including our iconic Newcastle Knights.

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll take ownership of end-to-end recruitment across both high-volume frontline hiring and specialist corporate roles. You'll act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, designing strategic sourcing campaigns, elevating candidate experience, and ensuring our employer brand is represented with pride.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Managing the recruitment lifecycle from briefing to offer across a variety of departments including hospitality, operations, corporate and leadership roles.

  • Supporting and executing high-volume seasonal hiring campaigns to meet workforce demands across clubs, fitness and events.

  • Building strong partnerships with internal stakeholders to understand workforce needs and provide strategic hiring advice.

  • Proactively sourcing talent through social platforms, job boards, industry networks and local partnerships.

  • Maintaining and optimising our RMS processes to ensure a seamless and inclusive candidate experience.

  • Assisting with employer branding activities and cross-team projects - including community engagement initiatives, continuous improvement & DEI initiatives.

  • Creating recruitment reports, data insights and pipeline metrics to support workforce planning.

About You

To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

  • Minimum 2-3 years' experience in recruitment — internal, agency or RPO.

  • Proven success managing a fast-paced, high-volume recruitment portfolio.

  • Strong relationship-building skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across all levels.

  • A proactive, solutions-driven mindset - you enjoy finding great people and getting things done.

  • Experience using Applicant Tracking Systems and recruitment reporting tools (Cornerstone experience desirable but not essential).

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to represent The Wests Group brand with professionalism and warmth.

Why Work With Us?

At The Wests Group, we don't just offer jobs - we build careers. We value our people and proudly offer an incredible range of benefits:

  • Paid Parental Leave (with 12 months of maintained superannuation)

  • Wellbeing Leave & First Nations Cultural Leave

  • Flexible work options

  • 17.5% annual leave loading

  • Leadership development courses & paid qualifications

  • 40% Discount on Food & Beverages whilst on shift

  • $25/month B.CO+ membership - access to three Balance Collective fitness clubs, unlimited group classes (Pilates, Yoga & Creche included) - extended to your partner too

  • Discounted accommodation across The Executive, The Gateway and The Anchorage Hotel & Spa

  • Discounted nib Health Insurance & Reflections Holiday Parks

  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Program

  • Free annual flu vaccinations

As part of The Wests Group recruitment and assessment process, all candidates progressing to the next stage will be required to complete relevant due diligence and probity checks specific to the role. This includes, but is not limited to, a Criminal History Check, reference checks, and right to work verification via our company portal. All associated checks and costs will be facilitated by The Wests Group.

Don't Meet Every Single Requirement? That's OK

Research shows candidates (especially women) often hesitate unless they tick every box. At Wests, we value potential, passion and personality just as much as experience. If you think you'd be great at this role - we encourage you to apply

Inclusion at Wests

We are committed to building a workforce reflective of our community. We welcome applications from people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, identities and cultures. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are strongly encouraged to apply.
