South Africa VirtuHire Full time

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
