Recruitment Program Manager

Your primary responsibilities will be to:

• Have onboarding calls at the beginning of each mentoring cycle with all mentees who are actively seeking work to help understand their interests and skills.
• Provide gentle encouragement and tailored recommendations to mentees on building and applying their skills and experiences.
• Build and maintain a high-level understanding of job-seeking individuals in the Magnify Mentoring network, including mentors and current and former mentees.
• Develop proactive relationships with Hiring Managers across a broad, multi-cause spectrum of altruistic, evidence-based organisations.
• Work on both sides of the recruitment relationship: with Hiring Managers to identify talented candidates, and with job-seekers to encourage them to apply for relevant roles.
• Work with the Community Project Manager and CEO to identify opportunities to cultivate the skills of Magnify Mentoring’s job-seekers and help them overcome barriers to accessing suitable opportunities.
• Attend relevant conferences with a focus on meeting job-seeking individuals and encouraging them to apply to Magnify Mentoring for support.
• Assist in matching mentees and mentors with the broader Magnify team during peak busy periods (ordinarily matching occurs 3–4 times a year).

Role Requirements

• You have experience with recruitment or talent-matching activities, such as supporting hiring processes, advising candidates, and connecting individuals to suitable roles or opportunities.
• You enjoy people-facing work and feel energised by 1:1 conversations and relationship building activities. 
• You are excited to support people, including those early in their careers, to achieve their goals.
• You have experience working successfully with people from a diversity of backgrounds, including neurodivergent people and those from low- to middle-income households, and a history of creating warm, welcoming interactions.
• You care about diversity and inclusivity and prioritize an action-oriented, forward-facing, and collaborative approach.
• You are a careful, empathetic, and skilled communicator.
• You are self-motivated and have the ability to work independently.
• You are a safe set of hands for a small, scaling organisation. For example, you are professional, respect confidentiality, and can work on tasks in a reliable way even if they are mundane and occasionally boring.
• You care about doing good effectively and adopting an evidence-based approach. However, you also understand that this leads people to varying conclusions, and you can respectfully support a diversity of approaches.
