[Hiring] Recruitment Resourcer / 180 Recruiter @Remote Recruitment

Role Description

This is a pivotal hire for the business. You will be the engine behind the candidate pipeline, handling the full sourcing and qualification stage so the Director can focus on client relationships, offer management and business development.

This model has worked exceptionally well before, with the Director and a previous right-hand person placing 60-70 candidates per year together. The ambition is to add £100-150k in additional revenue through this hire. This role offers a genuine opportunity to grow with the business and, in time, take on client-facing responsibility.

At any given time you will be working across 3-5 live vacancies, covering:

• LinkedIn sourcing: the primary and most critical activity. 85% of placements come through LinkedIn outreach. You must be comfortable with high-volume, targeted LinkedIn searching, messaging and relationship building.
• Candidate identification and initial outreach across multiple platforms.
• Screening and qualification calls: assessing candidates against detailed vacancy briefs.
• Compiling and presenting shortlists: clear, well-structured candidate summaries.
• Candidate communication: keeping candidates informed and warm throughout the process.
• Sending job descriptions, managing email correspondence and general recruitment admin.
• Coordinating interview schedules and managing candidate logistics.
• Video and phone-based candidate interviews: you must be confident and professional in spoken communication.
• In time, taking on elements of client liaison for processes already in motion.

This is a 180 model initially. The Director manages the client side. You manage the candidate pipeline and hand across when a candidate is ready to present.

Qualifications

• Minimum 2-3 years of experience in a UK recruitment environment, either in-house, agency or as part of a remote team servicing UK clients.
• Strong working knowledge of the UK job market, UK candidates and UK hiring expectations.
• Excellent LinkedIn sourcing skills. This is non-negotiable. You must be comfortable using LinkedIn Recruiter or LinkedIn search to identify, approach and qualify candidates at volume.
• Clear, confident and professional English communication, both written and verbal.
• Strong screening instincts: the ability to quickly assess whether a candidate is right for an opportunity and to ask the right questions to find out.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong written communication for shortlists, emails and candidate notes.
• Highly self-motivated and able to manage multiple vacancies independently without close supervision.
• Reliable high-speed internet connection, quality headset and suitable home working setup.
• Comfortable working standard UK-aligned business hours (8:00am - 4:30pm SA time, Monday to Friday).

Requirements

• Background in sales recruitment or experience recruiting field-based sales professionals.
• Experience across sectors such as FMCG, food service, finance or property.
• Familiarity with UK job boards, ATS systems and VoIP or WhatsApp-based calling for UK candidate outreach.
• Prior experience working as part of a small or boutique consultancy alongside a senior recruiter.

Benefits

• Join a well-established, reputable boutique consultancy with a loyal, high-quality client base.
• Work closely with an experienced recruiter who has 15 years in the industry and genuinely values a strong right-hand person.
• Real scope to grow: the previous 180 model produced 60-70 placements a year between two people, and the client is building for the long term.
• Full flexibility of remote working from South Africa.
• Competitive ZAR monthly retainer plus commission on placements.
• Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week (approx. 08:00 - 16:30 SA time).
• Be part of Remote Recruitment's growing network of South African professionals working with leading UK businesses.
