At Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen, our mission has always been to reinvent fast-food. We’re Australia’s only fast-food restaurant to be 100% clean, meaning there are no added preservatives, artificial flavours, added colours or unacceptable additives in our food. We’re incredibly proud of our amazing people, and the unique way we celebrate Mexican culture in everything we do.
Job DescriptionOwn the talent pipeline for one of Australia's fastest-growing restaurant brands.
GYG is on a mission to bring the flavours of Mexican food to every corner of Australia, and we need great people to make that happen. As a Talent Partner, you'll manage end-to-end recruitment across a portfolio of GYG restaurants spanning NSW and ACT, hiring the Cooks, Crew, Shift Leaders and Restaurant Managers who bring our restaurants to life every day.
This is a high-volume, high-impact role, partnering closely with Operations leaders, and building the kind of talent pipelines that let great restaurants run even better.
What you'll bring
- Experience in high-volume recruitment, whether in-house or agency - think retail, hospitality, call centres, or customer service
- The ability to build genuine relationships quickly, from a candidate who's never worked before to a Restaurant Manager interview
- A solutions mindset - when things get tricky, you're the one people turn to
- The composure to manage multiple priorities without dropping the ball
- Sharp attention to detail and confidence with recruitment tech (we work in SmartRecruiters and Workday, and we leverage AI tools including Claude and Granola)
What's in it for you
- A small, close-knit Talent team that genuinely enjoys what they do
- Career growth within People Experience and beyond - we'll back your ambitions
- Paid parental leave
- Interstate travel several times a year for conferences and events
- Cultural celebrations that actually mean something to us. We go all-in on Day of the Dead and Cinco de Mayo, because these traditions are part of who we are.
- Exclusive GYG merch and an annual gift voucher so you can enjoy the food you're hiring people to make!
