Talent Acquisition Associate

At Intelligen, we’re building something different. Over the past three years, we’ve evolved from a bold startup to a trusted partner for some of Australia’s most complex data transformations. We’ve helped organisations move from legacy to modern platforms, embedded governance into decision-making, and brought AI into the hands of the business - responsibly and at speed.

But we’re just getting started. As we scale into our next phase of growth, we’re building a world-class team across data engineering, data governance, and AI engineering, and we need exceptional talent acquisition capability to get us there.

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Associate to support growth in our AI, data, and data governance consulting business. You will be responsible for building and maintaining strong talent pipelines across Data Engineering, Data Governance, and AI Engineering roles using market mapping, targeted outreach, and disciplined follow-up to keep hiring moving.

You will partner closely with the Head of People and hiring managers, acting as the sourcing engine behind multiple concurrent recruitment processes and ensuring a high-quality candidate experience.

• Act as the main contact for sourcing and outreach, keeping talent pipelines active, following up on stalled searches, and updating team member on progress
• Conduct telephone screens and provide detailed overviews including experience, motivation, availability, salary expectations, and alignment to role
• Manage multiple recruitment processes simultaneously, maintaining accuracy, transparency, and compliance across high-volume roles
• Support the review of ad responses on high-volume and routine recruitment processes, ensuring fast and consistent shortlisting
• Identify Open to Work talent and run targeted outreach campaigns aligned to role requirements and priority skills
• Train leaders on best practices for viewing candidate lists, outreach, and follow-up, and monitor outreach activity and response rates to ensure sourcing efforts are effective
• Track LinkedIn Recruiter search activity and ensure agreed actions progress, maintaining visibility of pipeline health and next steps

• Experience in recruitment, talent sourcing, or a similar role, either agency or in-house
• Strong communication skills for candidate engagement and stakeholder partnering
• Outstanding stakeholder engagement skills, fostering strong relationships and ensuring alignment with diverse stakeholders to achieve outcomes
• Able to track activity rigorously and maintain sourcing momentum through structured follow-up
• High attention to detail and comfort working in fast-paced environments with competing priorities
• Skilled in LinkedIn Recruiter sourcing and market mapping, with a strong research-first approach
  

We’re not just delivering AI and data projects, we’re humanising them. That means we care deeply about the how, not just the what. We value curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. We look for people who are driven to build a business, get curious, and offer up their opinions and ideas.

You’ll work with a team that’s smart, kind, and ambitious. You’ll have real influence in how we scale, who we hire, and how we build a high-performing culture across Sydney and ANZ. And as we grow, so will you.

As well as:

• Work from home perks
• Training & Development - even tech pathways!
• Free Food & Snacks (yes its a dangerous slope)
• Many socials and community groups (2026 is shaping up to be really exciting…..)
• Opportunity to drive projects that are of interest to you! (we love hearing about your passion projects too!)

Ready to help shape the team powering Australia’s next wave of responsible AI and data transformation? We’d love to meet you.
