[Hiring] Recruiter @Rad Hires

Role Description

We're looking for a Recruiter to join our client's team and own the full recruitment lifecycle across a variety of disciplines (tech, finance, banking, HR, and more). This is not a traditional internal recruiting role — it's a staffing agency role where you'll directly support US-based clients, manage multiple searches simultaneously, and have the opportunity to grow into a pseudo-account manager position over time.

The right person is proactive, curious, and not satisfied with the status quo. They have a sales mindset, strong business acumen, and the ability to operate independently in ambiguous situations without needing every step spelled out. Native or near-native English is essential, as you'll be communicating directly with US hiring managers and candidates.

This role offers direct access to leadership (the President, COO, and Head of Strategy & Sales), exposure to top-tier US clients, and the opportunity to take ownership of accounts as you grow with the company.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruitment searches across multiple industries (technology, finance, banking, HR, nonprofit, and more).
• Source, screen, and present qualified candidates to US hiring managers.
• Manage candidate pipelines, follow-ups, and the full interview lifecycle.
• Build strong relationships with hiring managers and clients — progressively taking on account management responsibilities.
• Leverage modern tools (ATS, AI, sourcing platforms) to work efficiently and stay ahead of the curve.
• Maintain accurate records and workflow tracking in the company's ATS (JobDiva).
• Collaborate closely with a small team of recruiters and the leadership team based in New York.

Qualifications

• Recruiting experience in a staffing or outsourcing agency environment (not internal corporate recruiting).
• Proven ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously across different disciplines.
• Strong sales mindset — assertive, hungry, proactive, and goal-driven.
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written), with the nuance required to interact directly with US hiring managers and candidates.
• Native or near-native English — non-negotiable.
• Curiosity and resourcefulness — comfortable using AI tools, learning new systems on your own, and operating in the gray.
• Experience with at least one ATS (JobDiva experience is a plus).
• Ability to work independently in a remote setup, with strong personal ownership and reliability.
• Background covering both technical and non-technical roles is a strong plus.

What We're Looking For (Behaviorally)

• Not satisfied with the status quo — always pushing to make things better.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and figuring things out independently.
• Strong business acumen — understands the bigger picture, not just the task at hand.
• Hungry, persistent, and able to follow through with energy.
• Trustworthy, transparent, and able to represent the company directly in front of clients.

Logistics

• Employment type: Full-time
• Location: Remote — based in South Africa
• Working hours: Aligned with US Eastern Time (approx. 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM SAST)
• Reports to: President & COO
