Commercial Talent Acquisition Sourcer - SA

South Africa - Remote

About the role

We are looking for a strategic Talent Sourcer to join our global Talent Acquisition function. In this role, you will partner closely with the Sourcing Team Lead to drive the top-of-funnel strategy for our most critical hires in the Africa region and beyond. You will move beyond simple "hunting" to become a market expert, providing data-driven insights, mapping competitor talent pools, and engaging passive candidates for complex, hard-to-fill roles.

What you'll be doing

  • Designing Sourcing Strategy: You will design and execute advanced sourcing strategies for niche and senior roles, utilizing Boolean search, x-ray techniques, LinkedIn Recruiter, and local platforms
  • Building Healthy Pipelines: You will build and nurture healthy pipelines of pre-qualified candidates for recurring roles to reduce time-to-hire.
  • Partnering with Stakeholders: You will partner with Recruiters and Hiring Managers to calibrate role requirements and provide weekly data on market feasibility and talent availability. 
  • Engaging Candidates: You will craft high-touch, personalized outreach campaigns (email/InMail) that achieve high response rates from passive talent.
  • Gathering Market Intelligence: You will act as the "eyes and ears" of the market; gathering intelligence on competitor layoffs, salary trends, and shifting candidate motivations to share with the wider TA team.

What you'll bring

  • 2-4+ years of experience in Talent Sourcing (Agency or In-house), with a proven track record in Africa and other global markets.
  • Advanced knowledge of sourcing tools and ATS platforms (Greenhouse)
  • Fluent English is mandatory.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills; you have the ability to push back and consult rather than just take orders.

What's in it for you

  • A competitive salary + individual performance based bonuses every quarter
  • 20 days annual leave + public holidays
  • South African employment contract
  • Referral bonuses & flash bonuses
  • Top of the line equipment
  • Annual company retreats to provide great internal networking opportunities

If you're interested, we encourage you to apply! Every application is reviewed by a member of our team (AI is not used in our recruitment process), and we aim to respond within 48 hours.
