360 Recruitment Consultant
Drive the full 360 recruitment cycle for Kaizen Sourcing and our clients, placing skilled sales and recruitment professionals into US and UK roles.
Remote / Hybrid · UK & South Africa · Full-time
Role overview
Kaizen Sourcing is expanding and we are looking for a hungry, driven 360 Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team. This is a dual-purpose role: you will support our clients with end-to-end resourcing needs while simultaneously helping to build the Kaizen Sourcing team internally — recruiting skilled sales professionals and recruitment agents to power our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) operation serving the UK and US markets.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious recruitment professional who wants more than just a desk job — someone who wants to play a pivotal role in building a business, lead a team, and grow with an organisation that rewards performance and initiative.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the full 360 recruitment cycle — from business development and client acquisition through to candidate sourcing, screening, placement, and aftercare.
- Proactively develop new client relationships through outbound B2B business development activity, with a strong emphasis on winning new accounts.
- Support Kaizen Sourcing clients with their resourcing needs, with a primary focus on placing skilled sales and recruitment professionals.
- Recruit internally for Kaizen Sourcing — identifying, attracting, and onboarding talented sales agents and recruitment consultants to support our BPO delivery to the US and UK markets.
- Develop and maintain a strong pipeline of active and passive candidates across sales, business development, and recruitment disciplines.
- Build deep market knowledge of the South African recruitment landscape and the outsourced staffing sector serving the US and UK.
- Represent Kaizen Sourcing professionally to clients and candidates at all times, acting as a brand ambassador.
- Work towards and exceed individual billing targets and business development KPIs.
- As the team grows, take on increasing responsibility for mentoring junior consultants and contributing to team leadership.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Proven 360 recruitment experience — comfortable and effective at both winning new business and delivering on those mandates end-to-end.
- Strong B2B business development skills — a natural at building client relationships from scratch, picking up the phone, and opening doors.
- Resourcing experience with exposure to the US market — you understand American hiring practices, candidate expectations, and client communication styles.
- Fluent English speaker with excellent written and verbal communication skills — non-negotiable given the US and UK client base.
- Self-starter mentality — hungry, motivated, and driven to perform without needing to be micromanaged.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment with clear KPIs.
Desirable
- Understanding of the South African recruitment market — knowledge of the local talent landscape, salary benchmarks, and candidate behaviour.
- Experience in the outsourcing of recruiters or sales professionals to the US and/or United Kingdom.
- Previous experience placing candidates into sales, business development, or recruitment roles.
- Exposure to BPO environments or staffing businesses that operate across international markets.
- An existing network of candidates or clients relevant to the US or UK markets.
- Ambition to step into a team leadership or management role as the function scales.
What We Offer
- Competitive basic salary plus an uncapped commission structure — your earnings are directly tied to your performance.
- Compensation benchmarked at competitive global rates, reflecting the international nature of the role.
- A genuine opportunity to join a growing business at an early stage and shape the recruitment function from the ground up.
- A clear pathway to team leadership — build, lead, and develop the recruitment team as Kaizen Sourcing scales.
- Flexible working arrangements — remote and hybrid options available.
- Full onboarding support, market training, and access to the tools you need to succeed.
- A dynamic, entrepreneurial culture where initiative is recognised and rewarded.
