Company mission
To build a retail crime intelligence platform that connects people and organisations with timely intel to proactively reduce the impacts of crime in retail stores and in our communities.
Role
Who you are
- 2–3 years of end-to-end recruiting experience — you've owned the full process from sourcing to close, not just one part of it
- A GTM lens: you understand what strong looks like in sales, marketing, and customer success roles, and you know how to assess for it
- High agency — you identify what needs to be done and you do it, without waiting for perfect clarity or a nudge
- Strong stakeholder skills — hiring managers trust you because you're organised, honest, and follow through
- A genuine eye for candidate experience and employer brand; you care about the impression Auror leaves, not just whether roles get filled
- Comfortable working at pace with ambiguity — you adapt quickly and don't need everything to be defined before you start
- Startup or tech industry background is a plus; Ashby experience is a bonus
- If you’re not sure that you tick all the boxes but feel you’re close to what we’re looking for, please apply anyway! We’re proud that Auror is a place where everyone can learn and grow so we’d love to hear from you
What the job involves
- At Auror, you'll own end-to-end hiring across multiple geographic markets with a strong GTM lens — sales, marketing, customer success — and an opportunity to expand into ops and product/engineering hiring over time
- You’ll have real latitude to shape how we hire and how we show up to candidates, working closely with a People Experience team that operates at a strategic level
- Your job is to make sure great talent gets through the door so they can focus on the people experience once someone joins
- What you do here genuinely matters
- The quality of your hiring, the strength of the candidate experience, and the employer brand you help build will have a direct impact on Auror achieving its mission of "50 in 5" — reducing violent retail crime by 50% in the next 5 years — and the people experience and culture we're building whilst doing it
- If you're someone who runs a tight process and spots what needs fixing before anyone asks — this is your role
- You'll report to the Senior Director of Talent and People Experience and have real ownership from day one
- This role is a 12 to 13 month fixed term contract, with the opportunity to transition into a permanent role
- Running end-to-end recruiting — from intake through to offer, with hiring managers who'll trust you to run the process well
- Being a genuine thought partner to hiring managers, not just a coordinator between them and candidates
- Building the kind of candidate experience people talk about — responsive, personalised, and reflective of Auror
- Building diverse pipelines intentionally — actively sourcing from underrepresented groups, challenging where our pipelines are too narrow, and advocating for inclusive hiring practices across every team you support
- Supporting onboarding so the experience doesn't drop off after a candidate signs
- Keeping Ashby (ATS) sharp — candidate records clean, stages current, data reliable, and nothing falling through the cracks. We use our ATS as a source of truth, and you'll be the one who holds that standard
- Supporting on talent projects such as EVP development, careers site improvements, recruiting events, process enhancements — and picking them up proactively
- This role reports to Sian Govind, Senior Director of Talent and People Experience
Application process
- Job applications will close on Friday the 10th of July
- You'll be asked to submit a cover letter as part of your application. While this is optional we do encourage it, as we find cover letters can tell a story that resumes alone often cannot
- Our hiring team love to understand what attracted you to this role and why you are excited about the opportunity to join Auror
- Once you apply, you’ll hear from us to acknowledge your application. If you have questions about any of the above, or if you have any accessibility requirements, we’ll be able to help you from there
Our take
Across the globe, profit-motivated and organised crime costs trillions of dollars each year, with retail theft costing the world over $100B annually. However, shoplifting has become an “accepted” business cost, often unreported and unsolved, that businesses factor theft costs into their budgets and forecasts. Auror’s platform for retailers is focused on preventing crime, reducing loss, and making stores safer.
The company uses data visibility technology for fast and easy reporting of crime, providing crimefighters with the intelligence they need to not only solve more crime, but also provides insights as to how to prevent future shoplifting. Connected with over 2,000 law enforcement agencies, it drives a 50% improvement in debt recovery rates and resolves cases that would ordinarily never be investigated within two weeks.
The company has expanded globally, with offices in New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and the UK, and works with some of the largest retailers in these countries, including Walmart, Woolworths, and Coles. Auror’s successful expansions and proven product have it well set to be at the centre of greatly reducing retail theft across the globe.
