Our assignments range from specialist scientific and technical positions to senior commercial, operational and executive leadership appointments. The Opportunity We are looking for a bright, organised and efficient Talent Resourcer to join the business remotely from South Africa. The role will focus on identifying, approaching and initially qualifying candidates for a varied portfolio of retained search assignments. Previous recruitment experience is useful but not essential; we can train someone who learns quickly, communicates well and applies sound judgement. This is not simply a CV-searching role.

Key Responsibilities  Understand the client, role, essential requirements and likely candidate market for each assignment.  Build structured searches using job titles, skills, qualifications, sectors, locations and target employers.  Identify candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Loxo and relevant online sources, including passive candidates who are not actively applying for roles.  Review profiles and CVs critically, distinguishing genuine fit from superficial keyword matches.  Approach candidates through LinkedIn, email and telephone using clear, tailored and professional communication.  Qualify initial interest, motivation, location, availability, salary expectations and broad suitability.  Engage suitable candidates to the point of arranging an initial interview with the relevant consultant.  Maintain accurate candidate records, search notes, activity and pipeline stages within Loxo.  Provide concise progress updates, including market feedback, search challenges and recommended changes to the search strategy.  Manage several assignments at different levels of seniority without losing quality, pace or attention to detail.
