The candidate focused recruiter is critical in identifying, sourcing and placing top technical talent for our valued clients across Cape Town.  You don’t need to be excited about bringing in new business and landing big clients – your area of expertise lies in recruiting great talent and walking them through the recruitment process while having a fun doing so. You will be responsible for proactively sourcing, screening, interviewing, and placing qualified candidates, and partnering with the account manager throughout the full recruitment cycle. The ideal candidate will thrive in a small, but fast-paced boutique specialist agency and will work with a small team and a few external partners.

  • You have a sense of humour, along with a strong moral compass
  • You are people centric, and have a genuine care for the wellbeing of others

These are the kinds of things that will keep you busy

  • Research, source, identify and interview candidates for open positions allocated to you
  • Walk candidates though the entire recruitment cycle
