Who is Talent Nation?

We are an award-winning recruitment agency, that for over a decade, have placed key ESG talent into over 1/3 of the ASX100, influential private companies, and some of the best-known NGOs globally.

We generate impact by placing the changemakers into organisations who will:

• Deliver on Net Zero strategies.
• Influence policy to enable Australia to become an economic superpower in a post-carbon world.
• Green our urban environment.
• Repair our landscape through biodiversity programs.
• Channel the flow of capital into the right places such as renewables.
• Provide indigenous fire abatement practices.
• Develop carbon business models to turn waste into a resource.
• Provide tools to increase transparency around non-financial data.
• Build social programs to support communities in response to natural disasters.
• Improve the sustainability and environmental credentials of major infrastructure hubs.
• Improve the ability for organisations to disclose their performance against agreed targets.

And these are just the organisations we are working on right now…

What sets us apart?

A founding certified BCorp in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (there are only 5 other BCorps that certified before us) and the first non-government funded recruitment agency to be Climate Active Certified Carbon Neutral. Talent Nation team members work here because we have always believed in what we do and want to create a lasting impact. A percentage of our revenue is donated to environmental and social charities through our 1% for the Planet partnership, however the investment back into the community through donations, pro-bono work and impact driven discounts, is far greater than this. We believe passionately in the power of business as a force for good.

Who are you?

If you have a passion for people and impact, then Talent Nation offers you the opportunity to combine these in an environment that celebrates your success. Much like the individuals that we work with, your career path to this point may not be a linear one:

• You bring a range of professional and life skills into your work and apply a structured approach to your work to take projects from inception to completion.
• You have a focus on delivering the best possible outcomes for all stakeholders.

What will you do?

• Deliver end-to-end recruitment assignments across ESG, Sustainability, Environment, Climate & Energy and Sustainable Finance.
• Continually learn and engage with SME's to build your knowledgebase.
• Develop and maintain relationships that enhance the mission and reputation of Talent Nation.
• Build collaborative relationships internally with the broader Talent Nation team.
• Source suitable candidates and brief them on specific opportunities.
• Provide quality and timely candidate communication throughout the hiring process.
