Are you a "Cloud-fluent" recruiter who knows that the best talent isn't found on a job board, but through a deep, global network?
CloudSmiths is looking for a high-impact Senior Technical Recruiter to join our team.
You’ll be the bridge between our technical delivery teams and a global pool of elite talent, focusing on the GCP, Databricks, and Microsoft Azure ecosystems.
This is a full-time, permanent role for someone who thrives on agility and the "grit" of finding the perfect match.
The Mission
- Manage the full recruitment lifecycle; from initial briefing and headhunting to negotiation and onboarding.
- Build a robust pipeline of technical experts across South Africa, the UK, Mauritius, and beyond.
- Rapidly source and deploy contractors for project-based team augmentation.
- Act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers, defining job specs and providing market-realistic salary benchmarks.
What You Bring
- 5+ years in technical recruitment, ideally with a blend of agency speed and in-house culture.
- You must "speak Cloud." We need someone who understands the nuances of Data Engineers, Cloud Architects, DevOps, and Platform Engineers.
- A deep understanding of the South African market and global regions, including compliance, notice periods, and salary expectations.
- You have an existing, active network of technical professionals and contractors ready to go.
- Technical tertiary qualifications are critical to understanding our technical competencies.
Your DNA
- You stay productive in shifting priorities and can handle the "no's" to get to the "yes"
- You use data and market insights to challenge hiring managers and "sell" our vision to passive talent.
- You follow through on promises and maintain total transparency.
- The ability to recognise, respect, and adapt to cultural nuances in communication and negotiation styles.
What’s In It For You?
- We reward the "grit" and tenacity it takes to find the right person with a competitive incentive structure
- You won't work in a vacuum; you’ll be an engaged collaborator working alongside an existing team of Delivery Capability Leads and Executive Heads
- Enjoy your special day with your birthday off and a work culture that prizes agility and professional integrity.
- Take responsibility for a global talent pool, giving you exposure to international hiring nuances and compliance.
