The posting

About the Role

Outsource Ability is recruiting for a Recruitment Consultant to join our team on an independent contractor basis, part-time or full-time, working UK business hours. We place remote talent with clients across a range of sectors in a fast-paced environment.

This role owns roles end to end. You will take a brief from a client, source and screen against it, run interviews with clients and candidates present, manage both sides through to offer, and be directly accountable for the placement outcome.

Key Responsibilities

Client Management

  • Act as the main point of contact for clients across the life of a role.
  • Take detailed role briefs and clarify requirements, must-haves and deal-breakers before sourcing begins.
  • Handle client queries and concerns and resolve them promptly.
  • Keep clients updated on pipeline progress, candidate feedback and timelines without needing to be chased.

Role Ownership & Placement

  • Take full ownership of assigned roles from brief through to successful placement.
  • Arrange and sit interviews with both client and candidate present, and facilitate the conversation where needed.
  • Relay post-interview feedback to both sides.
  • Manage offer conversations, including rate and package discussions, and negotiate to a workable agreement.
  • Follow through on placement administration and handover so the start date is met.

Sourcing & Screening

  • Identify active and passive candidates using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, job boards, talent databases and industry networks.
  • Build and use Boolean search strings to find hard-to-find talent.
  • Conduct thorough phone and video screenings against the client brief.
  • Write personalised outreach messages that generate responses from passive candidates.
  • Research unfamiliar sectors and roles quickly, and adapt your approach to each brief.

Pipeline & ATS Management

  • Process incoming applications promptly so no candidate is left waiting.
  • Maintain accurate candidate records, notes and stage tracking in the ATS.
  • Manage multiple live roles at once without letting any of them stall.
  • Use AI tools to streamline sourcing, screening, written communication and daily administrative tasks.

Systems

  • Manatal
  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator
  • Job boards and candidate databases
  • AI tools

Experience with every system is not essential, but you must be confident learning new technology.

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Minimum two years of experience in a client-facing recruitment role, or a recruitment role with substantial client contact.
  • Prior experience handling client queries and concerns, or a strong customer service background.
  • Experience running or attending interviews with clients and candidates present.
  • Track record of owning roles end to end and being measured on placements made.
  • Strong negotiation skills across both client and candidate conversations.
  • Advanced sourcing ability, including Boolean operators and modern sourcing techniques.
  • Confident using an applicant tracking system and keeping records accurate and current.
  • Confident using AI tools to work faster and reduce manual effort.
  • Highly organised, able to manage several live roles simultaneously and work at pace.
  • Able to research unfamiliar sectors quickly and adapt to varied briefs.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication, with a professional client-facing manner.
  • Self-motivated and able to manage your own time in an unsupervised, remote environment.

Advantageous

  • Based in Cape Town.
  • Experience using Manatal specifically.
  • Sales experience, in recruitment or otherwise.
  • Experience recruiting across multiple sectors.

Key Performance Indicators

  • Successful placements made against roles owned.
  • Speed from brief to placement, typically one to two weeks.

Remote Work Requirements

Applicants must:

  • Be based in South Africa. Cape Town preferred.
  • Have a modern laptop or PC, Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 equivalent or better, with a minimum of 8GB RAM.
  • Have a stable fibre connection with a minimum of 50 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload.
  • Have a functional UPS, inverter or power station able to run a router and laptop for a minimum of two to four hours during load shedding.
  • Have a professional, noise-cancelling headset with a clear microphone.
  • Have a quiet workspace suitable for calls and video meetings.
  • Be available for the agreed hours during UK business times.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
