About Wingman Recruitment

Wingman Recruitment partners with growing Australian businesses by providing experienced Remote Professionals who become a seamless extension of their recruitment teams.

At Wingman, you’re not just another remote worker—you become part of a long-term team with structured onboarding, ongoing support, and genuine career growth opportunities.

About the Role

We’re looking for a high-performing Recruitment & Business Development Specialist who brings energy, initiative, and a passion for connecting with people.

This isn’t a traditional sourcing role. We’re looking for someone who enjoys identifying top talent, building genuine relationships, and creating opportunities through proactive candidate engagement and market outreach.

You’ll spend your time sourcing exceptional candidates, running LinkedIn outreach campaigns, building talent communities, conducting market mapping, and supporting business development initiatives. Working closely with Australian consultants, you’ll help grow both candidate pipelines and client opportunities while delivering an outstanding recruitment experience.

If you’re commercially minded, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy picking up the phone, networking, and opening doors, we’d love to hear from you.
