About Us:
At The Global Talent Co., we connect high-growth, venture-backed businesses with world-class talent across LatAm, South Africa, and beyond. We're remote-first, AI-native, and move fast — every person on the team is expected to operate with founder-level ownership.
About the Role:
As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you'll own full-cycle recruitment for a portfolio of active client roles — sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and coordinating candidates through to placement. You'll work closely with the recruitment team lead and directly with clients, using our internal tools (Ashby, the Cost & Salary Calculator, AI-sourcing tools) to move quickly and accurately. In 6 months, success looks like running multiple searches end-to-end with minimal oversight, consistently hitting shortlist turnaround targets, and actively improving how the team uses AI day to day.
What You'll Be Doing:
Own full-cycle recruitment for assigned roles: sourcing, screening, shortlisting, interview coordination
Use AI tools daily to speed up sourcing, screening, and candidate communication
Build and manage talent pipelines across LatAm and South Africa
Keep the Cost & Salary Calculator and shortlist trackers accurate and up to date
Communicate proactively with clients and candidates on status and next steps
Flag process gaps or bottlenecks and propose fixes rather than waiting to be told
What We're Looking For:
2–4 years of recruitment / talent acquisition experience (agency or in-house)
Daily, fluent use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or similar) as part of your actual workflow — this is a necessity, not a bonus
Comfortable with ATS/CRM tools (e.g. Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter) and spreadsheet-based tracking
Fluent written and spoken English
Proven track record managing full-cycle recruitment independently, sourcing through offer
High ownership — takes a project from zero to one without needing to be told each step
Startup-native — thrives with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and wearing multiple hats
Quick on their feet — solves problems in the moment instead of escalating everything
Proactive communicator — flags blockers early, chases candidates and clients without being chased themselves
Coachable — takes feedback and keeps raising the bar on their own work
Nice to Have:
Experience recruiting for startup / tech / remote-first companies
Experience recruiting across LatAm or South African markets
Exposure to EOR (Employer of Record) hiring concepts
At The Global Talent Co., our mission is to bridge the gap between leading global brands and amazing global talent. We believe everyone deserves equal access to opportunities, regardless of the country they are born in.

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.
