Recruiter Opportunity Job at Sabenza IT

What You’ll Be Doing

• You’ll own the full recruitment lifecycle for exciting IT roles — from software developers and data scientists to cybersecurity specialists and cloud architects:
• Source & attract top IT talent through creative strategies, LinkedIn, GitHub, networking, and referrals — including passive candidates who aren’t actively job hunting.
• Partner closely with hiring managers and clients to understand technical needs and craft compelling job opportunities.
• Screen CVs, conduct initial interviews, coordinate technical assessments, and manage offers with confidence and care.
• Build lasting relationships with candidates and stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor and brand ambassador.
• Share market insights on skills demand, salary trends, and recruitment best practice in the South African IT sector.
• Maintain accurate records, deliver recruitment metrics, and ensure full compliance with South African labour laws (including Employment Equity and POPIA).

Who Thrives in This Role

• We’re looking for someone who is ready to step up — not just clock in. The ideal person brings:
• Excellent proactive and organised skills — you anticipate needs, plan ahead, manage multiple priorities with ease, and keep processes running smoothly without being asked.
• Outstanding ability to communicate with people at all levels — from junior candidates to C-suite stakeholders, you build rapport quickly, listen actively, and influence with clarity and confidence.
• A results-driven mindset with a track record in inbound and outbound sales or business development, strong telephone skills, and natural negotiation ability.
• Resilience under pressure, personal drive, and the hunger to put in the hard work required to hit (and exceed) targets.
• Genuine curiosity about technology and a willingness to quickly learn emerging skills (Python, AWS, DevOps, and beyond).
• Empathy and the ability to guide candidates through important career decisions with professionalism and integrity.
• Comfort with sourcing techniques (Boolean & X-ray searches), assessing technical CVs, and using Microsoft Office and recruitment tools.

What Success Looks Like for You

• In this role you’ll develop deep expertise in the South African IT job market, expand your professional network, and gain exposure to both agency-style client work and high-impact placements.
• You’ll be measured on meaningful outcomes — time-to-hire, quality of hire, and relationship strength — while building a reputation as someone who gets things done with energy and integrity.
