Talent Sourcer (Remote in SA)

Talent Sourcer (Remote in South Africa)

About the Role

We are looking for driven, curious, and proactive Talent Sourcer to join our high-growth sourcing team.

As a Talent Sourcer, you are the engine of our recruitment process. You’ll be the person who tracks down "purple squirrels"—those hard-to-find developers and engineers who aren't looking for work but are perfect for our clients. You’ll be responsible for the initial outreach, sparking curiosity, and qualifying talent before handing them over to our Delivery Managers to finalize the hire.

This is a fast-paced, high-energy role where no two days are the same. If you enjoy the "thrill of the hunt" and want to see the direct impact of your work as your candidates land roles at world-class tech companies, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• The Hunt: Proactively identify and engage elite tech talent across LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche platforms.
• Strategic Outreach: Craft compelling, personalized messages that stand out in a crowded inbox to spark conversations with passive candidates.
• Pipeline Building: Maintain a steady flow of high-calibre talent for specialist roles in Software Engineering, Data Science, and AI.
• Multi-Tasking: Manage multiple search mandates simultaneously, ensuring a consistent volume of quality leads.
• Collaboration: Work closely with our Delivery Managers and Recruitment leads to calibrate searches and refine candidate profiles.
• Conversion: Successfully transition interested, qualified candidates into the interview funnel.

Requirements

We value grit, personality, and potential over a long CV. However, to be successful in this specific role, you will need:

• Experience: At least 6 months of experience in a dedicated sourcing or recruitment role.
• Persistence: You are relentless. You don't stop until you find the "impossible" candidate.
• Communication: You are a natural at building rapport quickly via text and voice.
• Organization: You can manage a high volume of data and moving parts without breaking a sweat.
• Results-Oriented: You are motivated by targets. Our benchmark is a minimum of 3 successful placements per quarter.

Logistics & Requirements:

• Location: Must be based in South Africa (remote).
• Time Zones: You must be able to maintain a minimum 4-hour overlap with UK business hours (9 am–5 pm GMT).
• Flexibility: Willingness to work later shifts a few times a week to overlap with US time zones (for US-based mandates).

Benefits

• Global Impact: Source talent for some of the most innovative tech companies in the US and Europe.
• Growth: Gain hands-on experience in a high-impact environment with a clear path for career progression.
• Flexibility: Enjoy a remote-first culture that values output over desk-time.
• Culture: Work with a friendly, high-performance team that rewards initiative and energy.
• Rewards: Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives.

Due to the high volume of applications we anticipate, we regret that we are unable to provide individual feedback to all candidates. If you do not hear back from us within 4 weeks of your application, please assume that you have not been successful on this occasion. We genuinely appreciate your interest and wish you the best in your job search.
