Recruitment Delivery Specialist

Department: Recruitment

Employment Type: Fixed Term Contract

Location: Africa

Reporting To: Managing Director (and Hiring Manager for each role)


Description
Allied Talent Partners (ATP), a Three Cairns Group initiative, is a mission-driven, not-for-profit talent marketplace focused on solving the human capital bottlenecks slowing down sustainable development efforts in emerging economies, with an initial focus on Africa. ATP connects vetted, experienced, context-relevant professionals to high-impact opportunities in energy access and sustainable development - strengthening local capacity and fuelling economic vitality. We specialize in fixed-term, deliverable-driven engagements - from interim leadership and generalist projects to niche technical expertise - handling project scoping, talent vetting and matching, contracting, payroll, and compliance so that our clients can focus on impact.  

As our work continues to scale, a short-term contractor is required to support a professional services talent advisory firm with its Q1 2026 hiring cycle. The organisation is recruiting four full-time roles (strategy, talent acquisition, business development, project delivery) and one part-time role (administration) and seeks outsourced support to drive candidate sourcing, screening, and shortlist creation. The client will supply job descriptions, initial sourcing leads, and will post roles on LinkedIn; the contractor will manage the broader sourcing, assessment, and shortlisting process to deliver qualified candidate slates for each role.

Key Responsibilities

  • Detailed project work plan and identification of key milestones

  • Develop longlists for each of the five roles. 
Screening & Assessment:
  • Conduct initial screening of all applicants from LinkedIn and additional sources. 
  • Manage a standardised case or assessment submission for shortlisted candidates. 
  • Apply structured evaluation criteria aligned with client-provided job descriptions.

  • Present shortlists with candidate summaries, CVs, and assessment outcomes. 
Process Management:
  • Maintain clear documentation, pipeline tracking, and weekly updates to the client. 
  • Collaborate with the client to refine sourcing strategy if required. 

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Experience required:
  • Proven experience in end-to-end sourcing, screening, and shortlisting for multiple roles simultaneously.
  • Prior exposure to hiring across corporate functions (strategy, talent acquisition, business development, project delivery, administration).
  • Knowledge and exposure to AI recruitment tools and assessments a plus 
Technical requirements:
  • Ability to leverage sourcing technologies and tools (ATS, AI-enabled sourcing platforms, Boolean search, etc.). 
  • Strong competency in structured assessment methodologies. 

Other Characteristics:
Soft skills:
  • High attention to detail and strong organisational skills. Clear written and verbal communication. 
  • Ability to manage multiple pipelines and stakeholders concurrently. 
  • Professional judgment in candidate assessment and presentation.
