Recruitment Resourcer / 180 Recruiter

Salary: R29 000 – R32 000 per month, plus commission on placements

A boutique UK recruitment consultancy is hiring a Recruitment Resourcer to own its entire candidate pipeline. Fully remote from South Africa, UK hours.

The role

You work directly alongside the founder, a recruiter with fifteen years in the industry who has run this exact model before and billed half a million pounds a year doing it. He keeps the clients. You own the candidates: finding them, qualifying them, and handing across the ones worth presenting.

Three to five live vacancies at a time, recruiting UK field sales professionals into FMCG, food service, finance and property. Roles start at £35 000 to £40 000, so these are serious candidates who expect a serious conversation. Around 85 percent of placements come through LinkedIn outreach, which makes sourcing the heart of this job rather than one task among many.

What you will do

- Source and headhunt on LinkedIn at volume, with targeted searches and personalised outreach

- Run screening and qualification calls against detailed vacancy briefs

- Write clear, well-structured shortlists the founder can take straight to a client

- Keep candidates warm and informed from first contact through to offer

- Coordinate interviews and keep the pipeline and admin accurate

- Take on elements of client liaison as you earn it
