The Opportunity
This is a genuine player-manager role.
You'll continue to be commercially active – developing clients, building relationships and managing your own recruitment portfolio – while also leading, coaching and developing our Melbourne team.
Working closely with our Directors and wider leadership team, you'll have the autonomy to help shape our Victorian business, identify new markets and clients, and build a high-performing team around you.
You'll be supported by an established specialist brand, long-standing client relationships, an extensive candidate and contractor network and a collaborative national team.
What You'll Do
• Lead, coach and develop our Melbourne recruitment team
• Develop new business and grow existing client relationships
• Build and manage your own successful recruitment portfolio
• Engage with senior clients and develop long-term partnerships
• Support consultants with business development, recruitment delivery and desk strategy
• Identify opportunities to grow our presence across Victoria
• Help attract and hire experienced recruiters as the team expands
• Contribute to the broader direction and growth of Decipher Bureau
About You
We're looking for an experienced agency recruiter who still enjoys being in the market but is ready to have a broader impact.
You'll ideally bring:
• A successful agency recruitment background ideally in IT
• A strong track record in business development and billings
• Experience leading, mentoring or developing recruiters
• Strong client development and account management skills
• The ability to independently build and manage a successful recruitment portfolio
• Confidence engaging with senior executives and decision-makers
• A commercial mindset and genuine interest in building a successful team
• A collaborative leadership style
Why Join Decipher Bureau?
You'll be joining an established specialist business with significant opportunity for further growth in Melbourne.
We offer:
• An established and respected specialist brand
• Long-standing relationships with leading Australian organisations
• An extensive specialist candidate and contractor network
• An existing Melbourne presence with considerable growth potential
• National recruitment, contractor care, marketing and operational support
• Genuine autonomy to help shape and grow the Melbourne business
• Uncapped earning potential
• A clear pathway for continued leadership and career progression
• A collaborative culture focused on quality over volume
A Leadership Role Where You Can Still Recruit
Most recruitment leadership roles eventually take you away from the market. This one doesn't.
If you're an experienced recruiter who enjoys winning business, building relationships and making placements, but you're also ready to lead people and help build something bigger, we'd like to hear from you.
