Recruitment Resourcer (Remote, South Africa)

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

How it works

Remote Recruitment places South African professionals with UK businesses. You are engaged as an independent contractor through Remote Recruitment and paid monthly in rand. Work Composer, a productivity monitoring tool, is installed on your work device as standard across all our placements. The process is a short screening interview with us, then an interview with the client, with a short recruitment task in between.

What you will need

• 2 to 3 years of hands-on recruitment or resourcing, agency or in-house
• Experience recruiting into the UK market, and familiarity with how UK candidates and employers work
• Confident LinkedIn sourcing, whether on LinkedIn Recruiter or standard search
• Clear spoken and written English that lands well with a UK candidate on a call
• A reliable connection, a decent headset, and a home setup you can make calls from
