Role Overview
Talent Specialist | Sydney CBD, AU | Office-based
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
You will be recruiting commercial talent across multiple regions including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea & Japan.
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.
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
Keep candidate processes moving with pace and professionalism
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
Maintain and update our ATS (we use TeamTailor) 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 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.
Your Opportunity at Fresha:
Grow with the Business: Build your scope quickly with direct exposure to senior leadership and clear progression as Fresha scales.
Operate at Serious Scale: Join a global Talent function delivering hundreds of hires across multiple markets and functions.
Help Build What’s Next: Shape how Fresha hires, develops and scales the teams behind our next phase of growth.
A positive & Supportive Environment: The culture is uplifting, encouraging and focused on helping people do their best work.
Global Exposure: Working with people across different countries, cultures and backgrounds.
Ownership & Achievement: Work that keeps you proactive, engaged and feeling accomplished day to day.
Inclusive workforce
At Fresha, we are creating a culture where individuals of all backgrounds feel comfortable.
We want all Fresha people to feel included and truly empowered to contribute fully to our vision and goals. Everyone who applies will receive fair consideration for employment.
