Recruitment And Talent Officers

**The Organisation**

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) protects Australia and Australians from threats to their security. In a complex, challenging and changing security environment, our success is built on the imagination and intelligence of our team. ASIO's people are ordinary Australians but they do extraordinary things - they are our most important asset. To be successful in our mission, we need talented people who are highly capable, dedicated, adaptable and resilient.
- The opportunity

We are seeking to fill a variety of positions within our Recruitment Teams. Key business areas, including ASIO's Recruitment Teams, must be representative of the Australian community, hence the need to fill these positions via an Affirmative Measures process for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. We are committed to building inclusive recruitment practices within ASIO, which requires a diverse staffing footprint, including people from different walks of life, with different abilities and different cultures.

You may or may not have recruitment experience, but you will be responsible for contributing to the recruitment of specialist roles across ASIO, including intelligence, technical and corporate roles, as well as ASIO's high priority entry level programs like Graduate and Traineeship recruitment. You will often be the first point of contact for people enquiring about an ASIO career, or you may even be the 'face' of ASIO Recruitment for in-person or virtual recruitment activities.

You will use your recruitment or other relevant experience, as well as your creative and innovative thinking to contribute to, and directly support, the ASIO talent and recruitment process.

As part of the Recruitment Team, you will work closely with other business areas across the organisation to understand their resourcing needs to ensure we attract and recruit the best and brightest talent for ASIO.
