This is a key opportunity to become the right-hand recruitment partner to an experienced UK recruiter within a growing boutique consultancy. You’ll take ownership of the candidate pipeline across several live vacancies, with a strong focus on sourcing and engaging high-quality UK talent.

• Own the candidate sourcing and qualification process across approximately 3–5 live vacancies at any given time.
• Conduct targeted, high-volume candidate searches primarily through LinkedIn Recruiter and other relevant platforms.
• Identify, approach, engage, and build relationships with suitable UK-based candidates.
• Conduct initial screening and qualification calls, assessing candidates against detailed vacancy requirements and evaluating their suitability.
• Prepare clear, structured candidate shortlists and summaries for presentation to the lead recruiter.
• Maintain regular communication with candidates throughout the recruitment process, keeping them engaged and informed.
• Manage job descriptions, candidate correspondence, recruitment administration, interview scheduling, and candidate logistics.
• Conduct professional phone and video interviews and provide clear feedback on candidate suitability.
• Coordinate with the lead recruiter throughout the process, handing qualified candidates across when they are ready to be presented to clients.
• Gradually take on elements of client communication and relationship management as experience and responsibilities develop.
• Independently manage priorities across multiple vacancies while maintaining a high standard of candidate experience and attention to detail.

• 2–3+ years of recruitment experience within a UK-focused environment, whether agency, in-house, or as part of a remote recruitment team.
• Strong understanding of the UK recruitment market, candidate expectations, and hiring practices.
• Excellent LinkedIn sourcing skills, with confidence using LinkedIn Recruiter or advanced LinkedIn search to identify and approach candidates at volume.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the confidence and professionalism required to communicate with UK-based candidates and, eventually, clients.
• Excellent candidate-screening instincts, with the ability to quickly assess suitability and ask effective qualification questions.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong written communication skills for candidate summaries, emails, notes, and recruitment documentation.
• Highly self-motivated and organized, with the ability to manage several vacancies independently and work effectively without close supervision.
• Comfortable conducting frequent outbound phone and video calls and equipped with reliable high-speed internet, a quality headset, and an appropriate home-working setup.
• Availability to work UK-aligned business hours, approximately 08:00–16:30 South Africa time, Monday to Friday.
• Experience recruiting sales professionals, particularly field-based sales candidates, is advantageous.
• Familiarity with sectors such as FMCG, food service, finance, or property is a plus.
• Experience with UK job boards, ATS platforms, VoIP systems, or WhatsApp-based candidate outreach is desirable.
• Previous experience working in a boutique consultancy alongside a senior recruiter would be an advantage.

• Fully remote position based in South Africa.
• Competitive monthly ZAR retainer plus commission linked to successful placements.
• 37.5-hour working week, Monday to Friday, aligned with UK business hours.
• Opportunity to work closely with an experienced recruiter and become a key contributor to a growing recruitment operation.
• Significant career-development potential, with the opportunity to progress from candidate-focused recruitment into broader client-facing responsibilities.
• Exposure to established UK businesses and a range of sectors, with a strong focus on sales recruitment.
• Opportunity to work within a quality-focused, relationship-led recruitment environment rather than a high-volume transactional model.
• Access to the systems and tools required to operate as an integrated member of the team.
• Ongoing support and regular check-ins throughout the placement.
• Opportunity to join a broader network of South African professionals working remotely with UK businesses.
