Job description

LevelUP HCS provides Recruiting Consulting Services and Strategic Solutions that position companies to confidently scale. Our experienced experts blend an understanding of the human dynamic with recruitment goals, corporate considerations, and compliance requirements. We design and implement a scalable, seamless recruitment process that is fully integrated end-to-end for each client.

We are the first to deliver a recruitment solution that combines subject matter expert (SME) recruiters and management consulting to provide high-quality hires at a low cost. We offer flexible solutions, including teams of on- or off-site dedicated recruiters.

Job Description: Senior Talent Advisor - TECH

As a Senior Talent Advisor embedded within our strategic RPO program supporting one of the world’s most recognised and innovative global technology companies (best known for powering seamless online communication and collaboration), you will act as a consultative partner to business and talent acquisition leaders. Your role is to design and deliver talent strategies that address complex hiring needs, drive operational excellence, and elevate the candidate and hiring manager experience.

Operating at the intersection of sourcing strategy, talent intelligence, and stakeholder engagement, you will influence decisions that shape workforce planning and talent outcomes. You will collaborate closely with Talent Sourcing Partners, Recruiting Coordinators, and client hiring teams to ensure alignment between talent acquisition efforts and business objectives.

This role goes beyond requisition management—you will serve as a trusted advisor on talent market trends, competitive intelligence, and best-in-class hiring practices, while driving solutions that balance scalability, quality, and speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Consult with hiring managers and business leaders to understand organizational goals, critical role requirements, and ideal candidate profiles.
• Design and drive full-cycle recruitment strategies that incorporate proactive sourcing, calibrated candidate evaluation, and thoughtful candidate engagement.
• Provide market intelligence and talent insights that inform hiring decisions, compensation planning, and workforce strategies.
• Lead strategic intake, calibration, and debrief meetings, facilitating alignment on selection criteria and interview methodology.
• Manage candidate pipelines and full lifecycle recruitment for high-impact roles, ensuring operational excellence, documentation, and compliance in client systems.
• Coach and enable hiring managers on interview best practices, equitable selection processes, and decision-making frameworks.
• Partner with Sourcing Partners to ensure top-of-funnel health, guiding outreach campaigns and market mapping efforts.
• Contribute to program-level reporting and insights, sharing progress updates, market trends, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Champion a high-quality candidate experience, ensuring communications reflect the client’s employer brand and values.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 10 years of professional experience in enterprise-scale global organizations, including 5+ years in full-cycle recruitment or talent advisory roles.
• Proven success consulting with senior stakeholders on talent acquisition strategies in complex, fast-paced environments.
• Experience recruiting for highly technical niche roles (DevOps, Cloud, AI/ML, etc.) ideally within the tech or related industries.
• Strong ability to leverage data, market research, and competitive intelligence to inform and influence hiring strategies.
• Proficiency with ATS, CRM, and sourcing platforms (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, LinkedIn Recruiter, HireEZ, Paradox, BrightHire, RoleMapper).
• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and organizational skills.
• Comfort operating in an environment that values agility, scalability, and continuous improvement.

Location & Working Hours

• This is a remote opportunity; however, if based in Cape Town, you will be required to work 2 days per week from our Century City office.
• Working hours are aligned with the PST time zone. Candidates must be willing and able to work these hours to be considered for the role.
