Talent Partner – UK Technology Recruitment

Working Hours: UK-aligned working hours

Company: Stockford Recruitment

Sector: Technology & Digital Recruitment

Employment: Full-time

Stockford Recruitment is a specialist Technology & Digital recruitment business supporting startups, scaleups and growing organisations across the UK, Ireland and international markets.

We recruit across six core specialist areas:

• Software Engineering
• ERP
• Data & AI
• Cloud, DevOps & Infrastructure
• Go-to-Market
• Digital & Performance Marketing

Since launching in 2024, we've built our reputation around doing recruitment properly – understanding our clients, representing candidates well and focusing on long‑term relationships rather than simply chasing transactions.

As Stockford Recruitment continues to grow, we're now expanding our presence in South Africa.

You’ll join and work closely alongside our Founding South Africa Talent Partner, becoming an important part of the next stage of building our South African team.

This is an opportunity to join early, have a genuine impact on how the team develops and build your career as the wider business continues to scale.

The Role

As a Talent Partner, you’ll work alongside our Founding South Africa Talent Partner and directly with our UK team to identify, engage, qualify and manage high‑quality candidates for live vacancies.

You’ll be part of a collaborative recruitment team rather than operating as an isolated sourcing function.

You’ll work across genuine live vacancies, share market knowledge, build candidate pipelines and take ownership of delivering excellent candidate experiences throughout the recruitment process.

This isn’t a CV‑searching role where you’re simply expected to send profiles across.

You’ll take genuine ownership of the candidate side of the recruitment process – understanding the vacancy, mapping the relevant market, approaching candidates, qualifying their experience and motivations, and managing them throughout the hiring process.

You’ll predominantly recruit candidates for UK‑based Technology & Digital businesses, giving you exposure to a wide range of roles, technologies and growing companies.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will include:

• Working closely with our Founding South Africa Talent Partner and UK recruitment team
• Working live vacancies across our Technology & Digital specialisms
• Understanding job briefs, requirements and candidate profiles
• Using LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing platforms to identify relevant talent
• Proactively headhunting passive candidates
• Building and managing targeted candidate pipelines
• Conducting candidate screening and qualification calls
• Assessing technical experience, motivations, salary expectations, notice periods and right‑to‑work requirements
• Producing high‑quality candidate submissions for clients
• Managing candidates throughout interview processes
• Completing interview preparation and post‑interview debriefs
• Maintaining regular communication and building strong candidate relationships
• Keeping our CRM and recruitment systems accurate and up to date
• Developing specialist talent networks within assigned markets
• Sharing candidate and market intelligence across the team
• Contributing to the continued development of our South African operation

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is naturally confident speaking with people and comfortable working in a fast‑moving recruitment environment.

Previous recruitment or candidate sourcing experience would be beneficial, particularly within Technology, but we’re equally interested in people with the right attitude, communication skills and commercial mindset.

You’ll ideally be:

• Confident communicating over the phone, video and written channels
• Comfortable proactively approaching people you’ve never spoken to before
• Naturally inquisitive and willing to ask good questions
• Organised and able to manage multiple vacancies and candidate processes
• Resilient and comfortable working towards targets
• Detail-focused when qualifying and presenting candidates
• Comfortable receiving feedback and continuously improving
• Able to work independently while contributing to a remote team
• Interested in developing knowledge of the Technology & Digital market
• Ambitious and looking for genuine career progression

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who cares about the quality of their work.

What Good Looks Like

Success isn’t measured by how many CVs you can send.

We want Talent Partners who understand why someone is suitable for a vacancy and can confidently explain that to the wider team.

That means knowing:

• What the candidate has actually done
• How closely their experience matches the requirement
• Why they’re considering a move
• What matters to them in their next position
• Their salary expectations
• Their availability and notice period
• Their location and working preferences
• Their right‑to‑work status
• Any potential concerns before they’re introduced to a client

Quality comes before quantity.

You’ll be given access to the tools needed to do the job effectively.

You’ll also receive ongoing training and support from both our UK team and our Founding South Africa Talent Partner.

Progression

We’re building the South African team for the long term, and we want this position to develop with the person.

You’ll be joining at an early stage of that growth, meaning there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility as the team expands.

A successful Talent Partner can progress beyond candidate delivery into broader recruitment responsibilities, including client relationships, vacancy generation and eventually a full 360 Recruitment Consultant position.

As you develop, you’ll have the opportunity to take greater ownership of recruitment processes and increase your earning potential through our commission structure.

Why Join Stockford Recruitment?

We’re building the business differently.

You’ll be joining a growing recruitment company where your contribution will genuinely matter, working alongside our Founding South Africa Talent Partner and directly with the UK team.

You’ll have:

• The opportunity to join at an early stage of our South African growth
• The chance to work alongside and learn from our Founding South Africa Talent Partner
• Direct access to the Founder and UK recruitment team
• Hands‑on training and development
• Exposure to multiple Technology & Digital markets
• Modern recruitment and sourcing technology
• Genuine responsibility rather than repetitive sourcing
• Performance‑related commission
• Clear progression opportunities
• The opportunity to grow your career as Stockford Recruitment grows

If you’re ambitious, comfortable speaking to people and want to build a long‑term career within international recruitment, we’d love to hear from you.
