Technical Recruiter, Johannesburg

We’re looking for an experienced Tech Recruiter to join us, supporting delivery for clients focused primarily on contractor hiring. The initial focus will be on a UK-based client and UK contractor talent, with scope to expand into additional clients and geographies over time.

You’ll work as an extension of our global team, owning end-to-end recruitment across active technical roles, with a strong focus on speed, quality, and candidate experience.

You’ll recruit across a broad range of enterprise tech roles including data, software engineering, cloud/DevOps, infrastructure, security, architecture, ERP systems, and project/product delivery. Exposure to areas like UX/design or IT operations is a plus but not core.

We operate in a high-velocity model, typically sharing initial candidate profiles within 48 hours. You’ll be supported by the team but expected to take ownership and drive delivery outcomes.

This is an initial 6-month contract, with extension based on delivery outcomes.

What you’ll do:

• Source and engage UK-based contract tech talent
• Screen and qualify candidates for fit, readiness, and availability
• Present candidates and manage them end-to-end through process and offer
• Partner with the team to prioritise roles and maintain delivery pace
• Support hiring across additional regions as part of a global team
• Other duties as assigned

• Proven experience in tech recruitment, ideally within contract / freelance hiring
• Strong understanding of the UK contractor market
• Ability to manage multiple roles simultaneously while maintaining quality
• Confident, clear communication and strong candidate management skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment
• Able to work effectively as part of a global, remote team
• Flexible with working hours where needed to support UK stakeholders and timelines
• Self-sufficient and accountable, with the ability to take ownership of roles end-to-end

Candidates must be legally authorized to live and work in the country where the position is based, without requiring employer sponsorship.
