Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

With a collaborative and values-driven culture, the business is known for its deep market expertise, long-term client partnerships, and commitment to delivering quality over quantity.

This is a diverse support role designed for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats.

• Assist with HR administration, internal documentation, and maintaining operational records.
• Provide backup support for invoicing and payroll following training from the Finance Manager to ensure business continuity during periods of leave or increased workload.
• Support general administrative and operational tasks as required.

• As the core focus of this role is recruitment sourcing and talent acquisition support, you'll also have the opportunity to assist with HR, finance, and business administration when additional support is required.
