Remote Recruitment
🇿🇦 Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants
This fully remote full time position at Remote Recruitment is open to applicants from South Africa. As a remote position, you can work from anywhere in South Africa — whether you're based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or a smaller town.
Job Description
Salary: R29 000 – R32 000 per month, plus commission on placements
A boutique UK recruitment consultancy is hiring a Recruitment Resourcer to own its entire candidate pipeline. Fully remote from South Africa, UK hours.
The role
You work directly alongside the founder, a recruiter with fifteen years in the industry who has run this exact model before and billed half a million pounds a year doing it. He keeps the clients. You own the candidates: finding them, qualifying them, and handing across the ones worth presenting.
Three to five live vacancies at a time, recruiting UK field sales professionals into FMCG, food service, finance and property. Roles start at £35 000 to £40 000, so these are serious candidates who expect a serious conversation. Around 85 percent of placements come through LinkedIn outreach, which makes sourcing the heart of this job rather than one task among many.
What you will do
- Source and headhunt on LinkedIn at volume, with targeted searches and personalised outreach
- Run screening and qualification calls against detailed vacancy briefs
- Write clear, well-structured shortlists the founder can take straight to a client
- Keep candidates warm and informed from first contact through to offer
- Coordinate interviews and keep the pipeline and admin accurate
- Take on elements of client liaison as you earn it
How it works

Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
