Talent Acquisition Co-ordinator
Mō te Tūranga | About the Role
As our Talent Acquisition Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in supporting recruitment and onboarding across both our hospitals and National Support Office. From posting job adverts and managing requisitions to coordinating background checks, contracts, and onboarding documents, you’ll ensure a smooth process for candidates and hiring managers alike. You’ll be the go-to person for managing our recruitment system, responding to queries, and providing regular recruitment reporting, while also working closely with Payroll, Digital Services, and the wider People & Culture team to deliver a seamless new starter experience.
This role goes beyond recruitment administration—you’ll help shape a positive candidate journey, support induction programmes, track immigration compliance, and stay on top of visa requirements across the network. With your organisation, attention to detail, and ability to juggle multiple priorities, you’ll help us deliver an efficient, compliant, and engaging recruitment process that reflects Southern Cross Healthcare’s values and brand. In this role you will deliver with precision and speed – ensure every recruitment task is completed accurately and on time, meeting agreed SLAs while keeping the hiring process smooth, efficient, and candidate-friendly.
