Recruitment Legends is looking for a Recruitment Consultant — described in the original advert as a Senior Recruiter — to join its high-performance team in Gardens, Cape Town, in the Western Cape. This is a permanent role, and applications close on 27 December 2026. The advert reference number is 2396208. One point needs care: the salary figure shown in the advert header, R1 000.00 per month, looks like a placeholder and does not fit a senior recruitment role, so it is not repeated as the salary here. The advert itself describes the package as a competitive base plus industry-leading commissions, so applicants should confirm the actual pay structure in the original advert before applying.
About the company and the work
Recruitment Legends is a fast-paced recruitment firm, and this is not a quiet desk role. The advert is aimed at closers, relationship builders and industry specialists who can manage top clients and top candidates with confidence. The firm says it invests in recruiters who want to bill big and build bigger, offering a platform, support and flexibility to scale a desk, with no micro-management and a supportive, collaborative team culture built on success. The role follows a hybrid working model, and the successful recruiter will have access to top recruitment tools and technology.
Role details and duties
The role, as stated in the original advert, includes:
- Owning the full 360-degree recruitment cycle, from business development through to placement.
- Developing trusted relationships with clients and candidates alike.
- Using cutting-edge sourcing strategies and a market network to attract the best talent.
- Bringing a deep understanding of the market and sharing insights and intelligence with clients.
- Consistently billing R150K to R250K per month.
That billing expectation is central to the role: this vacancy is for a recruiter who already bills at a high level and wants to grow further, rather than someone starting out in recruitment.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- Five or more years of agency recruitment experience.
- A proven track record of high billings.
- Strong business development and client management skills, including knowing how to win and grow accounts.
- Expertise in headhunting, talent mapping and executive search.
- Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems and customer relationship management tools.
- Solid knowledge of South African labour law and compliance.
- A passion for recruitment and a love of exceeding expectations.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay a fee to secure a job or who contacts you outside the official listing: genuine employers do not charge applicants for placement. Because the advert header salary looks like a placeholder, confirm the base salary and commission structure in the original advert before you submit, so you apply with a clear picture of the package.
Practical tips
With five or more years of agency experience required, your application should prove billing performance, not just activity. Give honest, verifiable figures for your recent billings, the markets you have covered and the accounts you have won or grown. Show evidence of headhunting and executive search work, name the tools you use confidently, and be ready to talk about how you have handled South African labour law and compliance issues on live assignments. Keep your CV neat, honest and free of errors, and tailor it to a 360-degree role rather than sending a generic recruitment CV.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. The advert had 4 applications and 86 views at the time of writing, so competition was still light, but senior agency roles are usually judged on track record, so expect your billing history and client relationships to be explored closely. The advert does not set out further stages, so follow the instructions in the original listing and watch for direct contact from the recruiter handling the vacancy.
