Role Overview
Let’s be clear: this is not an HR or People role.
This is a talent acquisition role for someone who enjoys hiring at pace, partnering closely with the business, and helping build high-performing teams in a company that is growing quickly. If you are looking for a broader HR path or a role centered on policy, employee relations, or people operations, this will not be the right fit.
At Fresha, we are looking for a Talent Specialist to join our Sydney office and help drive hiring across a business with real momentum, particularly as we continue expanding across Southeast Asia and the wider Asia Pacific region.
This role will suit someone who is energised by a busy hiring environment, comfortable managing multiple priorities at once, and motivated by the chance to make a visible commercial impact.
About the Role
You’ll partner closely with our Global Head of Talent, Senior Talent Partners, and hiring managers to deliver a high-quality, end-to-end hiring experience. From sourcing and screening candidates to coordinating interviews and onboarding support, you’ll play a key role in building high-performing teams across our business.
This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, high-growth environment. You’ll be proactive, organised, and eager to take ownership from day one.
You’ll join a small, collaborative team with experience from companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Uber, Cleo AI, and Sandbox VR = all passionate about delivering best-in-class hiring experiences for both candidates and internal stakeholders.
Why Join Fresha?
What You’ll Do:
You will work across multiple recruitment priorities at once, partnering with hiring managers to keep processes moving and making good decisions quickly. This is not a slow, heavily layered environment. It is a role for someone who can stay organised, keep momentum, and maintain sound judgement while working at pace.
You can expect to:
Manage end-to-end hiring across multiple live roles
Partner closely with hiring managers to understand priorities and move searches forward
Identify and engage strong talent quickly and effectively
Keep candidate processes moving with pace and professionalism
Balance urgency with quality, knowing when to move fast and when to go deeper
Contribute to hiring efforts that support Fresha’s commercial growth across Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific
Bring market insight, good instincts, and strong execution to every search
Write and send compelling outreach messages to engage passive candidates
Screen CVs, conduct intro calls, and assess candidate fit
Coordinate interviews across multiple time zones and teams
Maintain and update our ATS (we use Lever) and support scheduling/admin
Contribute to team projects including employer branding, candidate experience, and hiring events
What We’re Looking For:
This role is likely to appeal to someone with a recruitment or talent acquisition background, ideally with experience in an agency or similarly high-output environment.
You will probably enjoy this role if you:
Are confident managing several searches at the same time
Know how to build momentum and keep stakeholders aligned
Are resilient and steady under pressure
Enjoy working in an environment where priorities can move quickly
Have strong judgement and are comfortable making decisions
Like being close to the business and seeing the impact of your work
Want to be part of a high-performance culture without the politics or unnecessary process
Bonus Points
Experience recruiting internationally
Exposure to high-growth startups or product-led tech companies
Hiring across commercial roles
What To Expect From The Environment:
We set a high bar, and the pace is real. There will be busy periods, shifting priorities, and times where speed matters. But this is not pressure for the sake of pressure. It is about building well, moving with intent, and hiring the right people to support meaningful growth.
We work closely together in the Sydney office because it helps us move faster, stay aligned, and build stronger working relationships. For the right person, that creates a more connected, energising environment and a much clearer sense of momentum.
What this role is not:
This is not a generalist HR position.
It is not focused on people operations or administration.
It is not a remote role.
It is a hands-on talent role for someone who wants to do high-impact hiring in a company that is scaling and expects strong execution.
What you will gain:
This is an opportunity to do meaningful work in a business whose product genuinely helps its customers succeed. You will join a team that cares about quality, values pace, and gives talented people the room to make a real contribution.
If you are ambitious, commercially minded, and motivated by building teams in an environment with momentum, this is the kind of role where you can do some of your best work.
You'll also gain:
End-to-end recruitment experience in a fast-growing global scale-up
Broad exposure across multiple functions, markets, and hiring strategies
A supportive, high-performing team environment with room to grow
The chance to help shape the hiring function and make a lasting impact
What to Expect from Our Interview Process:
We keep things simple and respectful of your time. Here’s how it works:
Initial Interview (30 mins) – Meet a member of our Talent Team Via Video
Skills Interview (45 mins) – Chat with our Global Head of Talent
Final Stage (60 mins, in-person) – Meet the APAC Talent Lead
We aim to finalise the entire interview process and deliver feedback within 2 weeks.
Every job application received is reviewed manually by our talent team. While we strive to assess applications within 7 days, the sheer volume of talented individuals expressing interest may occasionally extend this timeframe.
