Job description

Commercial Talent Acquisition Sourcer - SA

About the role

We are looking for a strategic Talent Sourcer to join our global Talent Acquisition function. In this role, you will partner closely with the Sourcing Team Lead to drive the top‑of‑funnel strategy for our most critical hires in the Africa region and beyond. You will move beyond simple "hunting" to become a market expert, providing data‑driven insights, mapping competitor talent pools, and engaging passive candidates for complex, hard‑to‑fill roles.

What you'll be doing

• Designing Sourcing Strategy: design and execute advanced sourcing strategies for niche and senior roles, utilizing Boolean search, x‑ray techniques, LinkedIn Recruiter, and local platforms.
• Building Healthy Pipelines: build and nurture healthy pipelines of pre‑qualified candidates for recurring roles to reduce time‑to‑hire.
• Partnering with Stakeholders: partner with recruiters and hiring managers to calibrate role requirements and provide weekly data on market feasibility and talent availability.
• Engaging Candidates: craft high‑touch, personalized outreach campaigns (email/InMail) that achieve high response rates from passive talent.
• Gathering Market Intelligence: act as the "eyes and ears" of the market; gather intelligence on competitor layoffs, salary trends, and shifting candidate motivations to share with the wider TA team.

What you'll bring

• 2‑4+ years of experience in Talent Sourcing (Agency or In‑house), with a proven track record in Africa and other global markets.
• Advanced knowledge of sourcing tools and ATS platforms (Greenhouse).
• Fluent English is mandatory.
• Strong stakeholder management skills; ability to push back and consult rather than just take orders.

What's in it for you

• A competitive salary + individual performance‑based bonuses every quarter.
• 20 days annual leave + public holidays.
• South African employment contract.
• Top‑of‑the‑line equipment.
• Annual company retreats to provide great internal networking opportunities.
