Are you a recruiter who has genuinely earned it?
Someone whose commission cheques reflect the work you put in — and who is hungry for more?
Phillips Butterworth Limited is looking for a Recruitment Partner who is driven by results, motivated by earnings, and willing to put in the hard work that separates the best in the business from everyone else.
This is not a role for the faint-hearted. We want someone who picks up the phone without hesitation, speaks to candidates and clients with confidence and polish, and thrives in an environment where effort is directly rewarded.
Who We Are
Phillips Butterworth Limited is a specialist executive search firm operating across Australia and the United Kingdom. We work with a select group of high-calibre clients and hold ourselves to the highest professional standards. Our South African team works 100% remotely, servicing international markets from home.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a Recruitment Partner with a proven track record — someone whose results speak for themselves. If you have consistently earned strong commission, you already know the standard we expect. We want go-getters: people who can hit the ground running and who treat every candidate call and every client conversation as an opportunity.
To be considered, you must have direct experience recruiting in at least one of the following areas:
- Legal recruitment — placing lawyers in private practice, attorneys, or in-house legal roles
- Accounting recruitment — placing professionals in private practice accounting firms or in-house accountant roles
Beyond that, you will bring:
- Proven billing history with demonstrable commission earnings — we want to hear your numbers
- A passion for recruitment and a genuine desire to earn and grow
- Impeccable phone manner — you are articulate, warm, and professional at all times
- Equally confident speaking with candidates and with clients or business decision-makers
- Hard-working, resilient, and self-motivated — you do not need to be chased
- Comfortable with early starts (6:00 AM SAST) to align with the Australian market
- LinkedIn Recruiter experience is advantageous
The Mindset We Reward
The best recruiters we have ever worked with share one thing: they love what they do, they back themselves completely, and they are never satisfied with average. They pick up the phone when others send an email. They push for the conversation when others give up after one attempt. If that sounds like you, you will thrive here.
What We Offer
- Attractive base salary that reflects your experience
- Uncapped, highly competitive commission structure — your earnings are entirely in your hands
- 100% remote — work from home in South Africa
- International client and candidate exposure across Australia and the UK
- A world-class CRM and ATS, designed in-house by our own IT company — built for recruiters who want to move fast and work smart
- A culture that celebrates high performance and rewards those who deliver
- Real progression opportunities as our South African operation grows
- Working hours: 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM SAST (some flexibility available)
If you have earned it before, you can earn it again — and more. We offer the platform, the clients, and the commission structure. You bring the drive, the phone confidence, and the hunger to win.
