Talent Acquisition Partner

Who is Bare?

Bare is a Australia's most highly rated end of life business, supporting Australian families through the hardest time in their life.

We are a company dedicated to providing accessible, affordable end-of-life care to change the way that Australians deal with death. Our aim is to change the game in the funeral industry which has long provided expensive, traditional, cookie cutter services that don’t always meet the needs of the modern Australian.

By combining empathy with technology, we’re creating end-of-life experiences that are simple, personalised and affordable. In only five years, we’ve served more than 40,000 families, have become Australia’s most awarded end-of-life provider (with awards in customer service, innovation and digital disruption), and have built a team of more than 100 people committed to changing the way Australians deal with end-of-life. And we’re just getting started.  

As we continue to scale nationally, we’re creating a new role at Bare - Talent Partner - and we’d love you to help us build the team that will take us into our next chapter.

This is a full time role, primarily work from home.

So what is the role, exactly?

As our Talent Partner, you’ll own end-to-end recruitment across the business, from our frontline funeral services teams, to marketing, tech and leadership roles. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand what “great” looks like, then go out and find it.

The culture we've built at Bare is unique. We've built the highest performing team in the industry, full of low ego, empathy led people who are great to work with. You'll be responsible for codifying that culture and making sure every new hire improves it.

This is a hands on role with real ownership. Over time, you’ll help define our recruitment strategy, improve our processes, and build a hiring experience that reflects the care and thoughtfulness we bring to everything we do.

That makes sense, but what would my day-to-day look like?

In this role, you’re not supporting grieving families directly, but you’re enabling the people who do, by making sure we have a large pipeline of exceptional talent to draw from when we need them. You'll have an immediate advantage in attracting talent, as we are the employer brand of choice for anyone wanting to work in end of life.

Your days will typically involve:

• partnering with hiring managers to deeply understand role needs, team dynamics, and what “success” looks like
• owning end-to-end recruitment across multiple roles at once — from brief to offer
• proactively headhunting candidates (not just posting ads and waiting)
• screening CVs, conducting initial interviews, and guiding candidates through the process
• creating thoughtful, human candidate experiences that reflect Bare’s values
• continuously improving how we hire — tools, processes, job ads, interviews, and decision making
• helping us scale recruitment in a way that stays high quality, not high volume

You’ll work closely with leaders across the business, and be trusted to run your patch with autonomy and judgment.

Ok, sounds great. Who are you looking for?

You care deeply about getting the right people into the business, not just moving roles along. You’re comfortable owning recruitment end-to-end, making judgment calls, and being accountable for the quality of every hire. You are passionate about continually levelling up the business with truly exceptional talent.

You’ll likely have:

• solid experience recruiting in-house or in an agency environment
• strong instincts for people, cultural fit, and A players
• the ability to manage multiple roles (from transfer drivers to engineers) without sacrificing quality or pace
• a structured, organised approach, paired with good judgment and flexibility

But experience alone isn’t the point. We’re looking for someone who:

• treats candidates with care, clarity, and respect
• brings a practical, no-ego mindset to their work
• communicates clearly and follows through
• is comfortable operating in a growing, changing environment

Most importantly, you’ll believe in our mission. Everyone at Bare is driven by impact — and we’re deliberate about protecting that as we grow.

What’s in it for me?

Someone in our end-of-life team recently said “This is the most impactful work I’ve ever done. I feel lucky to be able to help people when they truly need support.” It's a common statement, and one that should resonate with you.

In addition to meaningful work, we offer:

• real ownership and influence over how Bare builds its team
• strong opportunities for growth as the business scales
• work from home flexibility with high trust and autonomy
• a friendly, supportive, and genuinely kind team
• competitive remuneration
• the chance to shape an industry that truly needs changing

The main reason you’ll join, though, is because you believe in what we’re building, and want to play a meaningful role in our next iteration.
