This is a big one.

60 Degrees is entering a new era. As the contingent arm of aston holmes, we're launching a bold new re-brand with a growing global footprint and a deep portfolio of technical clients across fintech, automotive, gaming, payments, and more.


We're looking for a proven 360 Tech Recruiter who thrives in fast-paced, high-ownership environments and knows how to unlock commercial value through smart business development, sharp delivery, and lasting client partnerships.


This isn't just a delivery role. You'll be building and managing your own portfolio, shaping how we show up to market, owning client relationships end-to-end, and delivering high-impact tech talent where it matters most.


Whether you're based in Johannesburg, you'll be part of a tight-knit, strategic team operating at pace with the firepower of a research team behind you and the autonomy to run with what you build.

What you will be doing

Owning the full 360 recruitment lifecycle: sourcing, pitching, placing, and everything in between. Driving business development, spotting opportunities, opening doors, and building lasting client relationships. Partnering closely with clients across high-growth industries (think gaming, fintech, automotive, payments, ISP). Leveraging the research team for market insights and candidate sourcing but keeping full ownership of your portfolio and fees. Working across South Africa, the UK, US, UAE, and Africa with growing international exposure as we scale globally. Delivering with pace and precision in a performance-driven environment that rewards initiative and results.

What we are looking for

4+ years of tech recruitment experience (agency side), with a track record of high performance across industries. Strong business development instincts, you enjoy the chase and you know how to close. Solid experience in sourcing and candidate engagement, with a knack for finding top talent in competitive markets. Energy, ambition, and longevity, we're looking for someone who's in it to build. Commercial acumen, strategic thinking, and confidence owning client relationships end-to-end. A genuine interest in tech, you don't need to code, but you do need to talk the language and get the space.

Why join 60 Degrees (part of the aston holmes group)

At 60 Degrees, we're not your average agency. We move with pace, think strategically, and deliver with intention. We're backed by a global brand (aston holmes), have serious growth plans across multiple markets, and offer autonomy without the nonsense.

You'll own 100% of your placements, no 50/50 splits, even with research support. You'll be part of a rebrand with real momentum, a chance to shape, not just follow. You'll have flexibility, high trust, and space to run, but always with strategic backing.

Perks and benefits

Competitive salary with rewarding commission structures. 20 days of leave, plus a day dedicated to volunteering. Flexible working hours, we believe in work-life integration. Access to learning incentives, because we're big on growth. Opportunities to work on impactful projects that align with your passions.
