The Opportunity

We are working with an established UK tech recruitment business, operating since 2009, with a team of 17 across engineering, design, data and AI, marketing and sales, and product.

They are building a dedicated public sector desk, placing contractors into tech consultancies that deliver digital work for the UK public sector. The desk already has a strong base of live contractors and steady monthly demand from two long-standing clients, so you will be delivering from your first week.

You will be the engine of the desk: building and owning talent pools, turning briefs into shortlists quickly and learning from a consultant who has run this desk for the last year. A second hire is planned as the desk grows.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver shortlists for contract roles within 48 hours of a brief landing
• Build and maintain talent pools across around eight core role types, from business analysts and delivery managers to software engineers
• Run screening calls and video calls to assess technical fit, public sector experience and soft skills
• Source through the existing database, LinkedIn job ads, job boards and, where needed, LinkedIn Recruiter projects
• Work with clients over email and Teams chat on live roles
• Keep pay rates and candidate details accurate on every submission

Essential

What We’re Looking For

• 18 months to 3 years of agency recruitment experience
• Experience recruiting at least some technical roles, ideally software engineering
• Excellent written and verbal English
• Highly organised, able to work at pace with limited brief information

Advantageous

• Contract or contingent recruitment experience
• Exposure to Java, Scala or Python hiring
• Experience recruiting business analysis, delivery, product, user-centred design or data roles

Compensation & Commission

• Base salary: R28,000 - R32,000/pm
• Commission: Up to £500 per placement. Paid in £100 installments when the contractor hits end of month 1, 2, 3, 6, 12. Forecasting min 2 hires per month, which equates to £8k+ in year 1 and £12k+ in year 2 in terms of total comms.

Working pattern

• Remote from South Africa
• Core hours: TBC
• Training: Hands‑on support from a consultant who has run this desk for the past year
