Talent Acquisition Partner, Auckland
Korn Ferry RPO | Global Media Client
We’re launching something big.
Korn Ferry is partnering with a globally recognised leader in the media and advertising space, and we’re building a brand-new RPO solution from the ground up. This is your chance to get in early and help shape it.
This isn’t BAU recruitment. This is a rare opportunity to step into a greenfield environment — designing processes, influencing stakeholders, and embedding best-in-class talent acquisition practices from day one.
If you thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments and want to work with some of the most recognisable brands in media, you’ll love this.
The Opportunity
As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll operate as a true advisor — owning end-to-end recruitment while helping build and evolve a high-performing RPO solution.
You’ll partner with stakeholders across ANZ, delivering outstanding hiring outcomes while playing a key role in shaping how talent is attracted, assessed, and hired within a major media organisation.
This is perfect for someone who:
- Loves building, not just maintaining
- Enjoys influencing and partnering at a senior level
- Wants exposure to a dynamic, creative, and fast-moving industry
What You’ll Be Doing
- Partnering with Hiring Managers as a trusted recruitment advisor
- Delivering end-to-end recruitment across ANZ
- Driving proactive sourcing and multi-channel attraction strategies
- Building and nurturing talent pipelines
- Delivering a high-touch, high-quality candidate experience
- Running structured briefing sessions and managing expectations
- Assessing talent using competency-based frameworks
- Supporting the design and evolution of recruitment processes and reporting
- Identifying opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, and outcomes
- Acting as a SME across sourcing, market insights, and TA best practice
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a Talent Acquisition Partner (RPO, embedded, or in-house)
- Strong exposure to the media, advertising, or creative industries (highly regarded)
- Demonstrated success in direct sourcing and market mapping
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing capability
- Comfortable operating in a build/scale environment — adaptable, proactive, solutions-focused
- Confident communicator with the ability to engage at all levels
Why Join
- Be part of a newly launched RPO with a global media powerhouse
- Shape how recruitment is delivered from day one
- Work within a high-performing Korn Ferry environment
- Gain exposure to a fast-paced, creative, and influential industry
- Make a visible impact from the outset
If you’re looking for your next move and want to be part of something being built — not just maintained — this is the opportunity.
