Senior Recruiter / Talent Partner (Remote | South Africa)
National placements | Headhunting | Sales, Marketing, Finance & Tech
VirtuHire is a high-growth South African talent partner working with international businesses across the UK, US, Europe, and Australia. We help founders and leadership teams build world-class remote teams across sales, marketing, finance/accounting, technology, and operations.
We are hiring a Senior Recruiter / Talent Partner to take ownership of end-to-end recruitment delivery and play a key role in scaling our core offering.
This role is for someone who excels at headhunting, running structured recruitment processes, and delivering consistently strong placements -- not volume-driven recruiting.
What You'll Be Responsible For

• Proactive headhunting and sourcing across sales, marketing, accounting/finance, tech, and professional services roles
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle: role briefing, sourcing, screening, interviews, shortlisting, offers, and placement
• Running multiple live roles concurrently with strong organisation and accountability
• Producing high-quality candidate summaries and shortlists for international clients
• Building long-term pipelines for commercial, technical, and marketing talent
• Collaborating closely with operations and leadership to ensure seamless onboarding and placement success
• Continuously improving recruitment processes, tooling, and candidate experience

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years' experience in recruitment, headhunting, or talent acquisition
• Proven placements across sales, marketing, finance, and/or technology roles
• Strong understanding of commercial and growth-driven roles (BD, marketing, revenue, technical support functions)
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and process-driven
• Confident using LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS systems, sourcing tools, and CRM platforms
• Clear, professional communicator with strong stakeholder management skills
• A true A-team player who takes ownership and pride in outcomes

Why VirtuHire

• International, high-quality roles (not churn recruitment)
• Real ownership and autonomy
• Lean, senior team with direct access to decision-makers
• Long-term growth opportunity as the business scales
• Competitive salary with performance-based upside
