With more than 200 events lined up for the first half of the year, International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) has refined and expedited its hiring process in order to meet demand.

Job applicants can now expect feedback within a day of their application, across a variety of roles, with the accelerated recruitment process complementing the Centre’s recently enhanced employee benefits scheme.

ICC Sydney chief executive officer, Geoff Donaghy said the 2022 recruitment program formed part of the venue’s ongoing commitment to prioritising the people at the centre of its operations.

“Since the venue’s inception, we’ve fostered a culture of innovation and improved efficiencies. A positive candidate experience is central to our hiring process and aligns with our objective to uphold our employee value proposition to do the extraordinary – together,” Donaghy said.

“With the steep increase of in-person events, we are adding new team members across a spectrum of skills to meet the needs of our clients. Our approach to recruitment, combined with our enhanced employee benefits program, will help us to continue to be more than a venue for the customers and community we serve.”

ICC Sydney director of human resources, Luke Fleming said successful casual candidates can expect to be notified of a job offer within a day of their interview, trained within five days and start the following week.

“We have opened up a number of casual and permanent roles to meet the surge in demand for face-to-face events,” Fleming said.

“Our accelerated recruitment process streamlines the candidate journey and improves their overall experience from application, to offer and on boarding with us.”

Applicants will be invited to the venue’s casual open day to be run each week, with the first open day commencing on Thursday, 10 February 2022.
