We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Sourcing Specialist to join our People team in Sydney.

The Talent team helps shape the future of Stake by finding exceptional people who raise the bar across the business. We partner closely with leaders to understand where the company is heading, what capabilities we'll need next and how to build talent pipelines before the market catches up. We care deeply about candidate quality, hiring experience and creating systems that scale.

This is a sourcing-first role focused on uncovering exceptional talent across engineering, customer success, operations, product and business functions. You'll spend your time identifying standout candidates, building meaningful talent pools and creating scalable sourcing systems that improve how we hire. You'll work closely with talent partners and hiring leaders to map markets, surface high-potential talent early and strengthen the quality of our pipelines.

We're particularly interested in someone who is excited by the future of talent acquisition. You'll help us experiment with AI-enabled workflows, rethink manual processes and build sourcing approaches that are faster, more personalised and more effective. We work hybrid spending 3 days in our beautiful, dog-friendly Sydney office.
