  • 3-5+ years of recruitment experience (internal or agency); 360 backgrounds welcome
  • Experience in life sciences / pharma or other specialist / niche sectors preferred
  • Strong knowledge of UK recruitment markets and candidate expectations
  • Proven delivery track record with measurable KPIs (e.g., time-to-fill, shortlist conversions)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, neutral accent preferred for UK client engagement
  • Detail-obsessed, proactive, and emotionally mature thrives in a non-micromanaged, collaborative culture
  • Able to work UK hours (Monday to Friday) from a remote setup with strong internet connectivity

  • Package Highlights

  • Salary : R35,000 - R38,000 per month (based on experience)
