🌎 Help Build High-Performing Technical Teams

Are you an experienced recruiter who knows how to find great people, build strong pipelines and turn opportunities into placements?

We're hiring on behalf of a fast-growing international recruitment business operating across the US, Europe and India.

They're looking for a Senior Delivery Consultant to join their growing team and take ownership of candidate delivery across specialist technical vacancies.

This isn't a role where you'll sit back and wait for applications to land.

You'll be responsible for finding the talent, engaging candidates, qualifying them, managing the process and ultimately getting them placed.

The business is particularly focused on technical markets including AI infrastructure, data centres, cybersecurity, IT, software and engineering.

We're therefore looking for someone who already understands recruitment, knows how to source proactively and can hit the ground running.

You'll have clear targets, real autonomy and a commission structure that rewards successful placements.

🎯 The Opportunity

You'll work closely with senior stakeholders and the wider recruitment team to deliver candidates against live vacancies across international markets.

Your goal is simple:

Find the right people → qualify them properly → get them in front of the client → make the placement.

You'll manage multiple vacancies and candidate pipelines simultaneously, while working across different markets and time zones.

The core target is:

2+ successful placements per month

For every successful placement, you'll earn approximately £200–£400 in commission, on top of a R30,000–R40,000 monthly base salary.

Strong performance can take your earnings towards ~R60,000 OTE per month.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced recruiter who wants more ownership, international exposure and a direct link between performance and earning potential.
