We're Hiring!

Company

For 81 years, we've achieved success through our ability to innovate, placing a clear emphasis on how we best serve our customers’ needs. As demand continues to grow, we have expanded rapidly, now delivering a superior range of dry goods, frozen and chilled products, fresh seafood and meat, confectionery, paper products, and cleaning solutions.

In recent years, we’ve seen significant growth and invested in our systems and processes, building a close partnership with Woolworths Group that has continued to deliver high-quality service for our customers and suppliers.

In 2024, Woolworths moved to a 100% interest in the PFD business, bringing PFD exciting opportunities as a strategic part of the Group. Sharing expertise across both teams will ensure our continued success and drive further growth and unlock our collective potential.

• Contribute to projects such as onboarding, EVP or systems improvement.
• Champion inclusive and equitable hiring practices.

• Experience recruiting across professional or specialist functions.
• Strong relationship-building and influencing skills.
• A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery.
• Curiosity about technology, process, and people.
• Confidence using AI tools as a partner for efficiency from sourcing to content creation.
• Proficiency with ATS and HR systems (PageUp, LinkedIn Recruiter)

What Success Looks Like (within 12-Months)

• Contributor to new or improved TA processes or campaigns.
• Recognised for delivering quality outcomes with warmth and consistency.
• Growth in your role and in the team, through shared learning and curiosity.

A Note from Your Future Leader

“I’m not looking for someone to copy my style, I’m looking for people who bring their own spark of excellence.

In our team, titles don’t define us: collaboration, curiosity, and care do. We value pace and precision just as much as empathy and inclusion. We hold ourselves to a high standard, not because we have to, but because we take pride in what we do.

If you love recruitment, want to be surrounded by people who genuinely support each other, and believe that great talent work changes a business - you’ll fit right in.”

What PFD is Offering the Successful Candidate

We are offering competitive remuneration, superannuation and other staff benefits (such as discounts on staff purchases, discounted accommodation, health insurance and banking).
