Talent Acquisition Consultant, Specialist

Provides expertise and leads the entire recruitment cycle for all mid-level, internal and external, positions to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and equity.

About Vanguard

50 years ago, John C. Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently. A company with no external shareholders. Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs. Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant. To this day, Vanguard Group still has no external shareholders. That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners.

Today, Vanguard is one of the world's largest investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors worldwide. For more than 25 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers, and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.

We're seeking a Talent Acquisition Specialist to lead recruitment for mid to senior-level roles across the business.
