How has 2026 been for you so far? Are you embracing the 'AI revolution' or are you worried that AI is coming for your job? We can not question that change is upon the recruitment industry and some of our duties will be changing... but here at JDP we think in a good way.

If you are currently in Melbourne (or looking at moving to Melbourne) and feel worried / concerned for what is coming - maybe it is time for a chat. Even if you are feeling unhappy with your current company, we would love to have a chat with you to discuss what JDP are doing.

Generally recruitment doesn't sit still, but as an industry - we dont like change. Here at JDP we are all about embracing change, and this is why we are looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant focusing on our Melbourne based clients to help us with this next exciting part of our journey.

So what exactly are we looking for? 

The right person will have a curious mind, someone who likes to challenge the status quo and someone who isn't afraid to push boundaries. Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat... this is starting to sound like a Steve Jobs posting.

So what exactly will you be doing?

The Melbourne Digital Scene is always busy & with our reputation to deliver continuing to grow - we're beautifully chaotic. As a result, we're in need for a Senior Consultant to focus on the Digital space and work with our team to kick some serious goals! Think: CIA level people-finding skills, complied with hunting skills and its the perfect mix.

Experience in Digital Recruitment is not mandatory - It's more about your mindset and current (recruitment) ability, plus the understanding of how to harness a successful desk - Essentially, remaining proactive in your approach to market, whilst ensuring repeat custom across both client and candidates alike. 

JDP are all about doing things differently; we embrace creativity, immerse ourselves in the digital community, opt for no bullsh*t recruitment and reward our awesome people. If this sounds like something that you want to be part of, I would love to chat.

Cut the fluff.... What we really want from you is:

• An individual who can deliver to an array of diverse clients
• Someone who isn't afraid to pick up the phone
• The ability to have fun - don't take yourself too seriously
• Drive! The ability to put the previous day behind you and remain focused. Tenacity is required 
• Someone who can self-manage. We are not a KPI-type organisation, so if you need hand holding this isnt the role.

What we are offering in return:

• The chance to work with a fun, social and highly successful group
• Solid base + excellent bonus structure  
• Quarterly team events (boat parties) plus overseas trips - Hawaii last year
• An amazing client base that has been nurtured and refined across the years
• Work with excellent consultants earning a genuinely high return. The office is in good shape and momentum is well and truly set.  

Being that I'm the author of this Ad, the founder of this business, if you want to hear the JDP story, I'm happy to be utterly transparent about direction to-date plus goals for 2026.

If you are looking for that next right challenge - this could be it.
