Jordan HR is expanding its Cape Town team and is looking for an experienced, commercially driven Senior Medical Recruitment Consultant. This is a permanent, senior-level position. Please note the short window: the listing is shown as expiring in 7 days from its 29 October 2026 posting date, so do not delay if this role fits you.
About the company and the work
Jordan HR is a recruitment agency whose stated approach is to understand each client’s business and needs properly before providing human capital solutions. Its designated consultants spend time on site, learning the company culture, working environment and expectations of the client, so that relationships are built on knowledge, trust and integrity rather than quick placements. This senior role sits in the agency’s medical recruitment work in Cape Town, where the pace is set by a fast-moving, 24/7 locum environment: medical recruitment does not always happen between 08:00 and 16:00, and clients and candidates depend on the consultant being responsive outside those hours.
Role details and duties
The consultant will run their own desk and take full ownership of clients, candidates and revenue targets. Day-to-day work includes proactively identifying, cold calling and securing new clients through business development; conducting regular client visits and building strong, lasting business relationships; recruiting and placing temporary, locum and permanent healthcare professionals; managing the full recruitment cycle, from sourcing and interviewing through to negotiating and closing placements and contracts; developing new business opportunities and growing a profitable client portfolio; and managing the demands of a fast-paced, 24/7 locum environment. The advert is explicit that this is not a clock-watching position: it suits someone who understands the demands of agency recruitment and takes ownership of their desk.
Requirements (only what the source states)
- Proven experience in agency recruitment, preferably within the medical or healthcare sector
- Experience in nursing, pharmaceutical, occupational health or other healthcare professional recruitment
- Strong cold calling, negotiation and client relationship skills
- A natural business developer, confident engaging with clients and conducting face-to-face visits
- A self-starter who is resilient, energetic, commercially minded and able to think on their feet
- Thrives under pressure and is motivated by targets and commission
- Able to work independently, take accountability and run a desk with minimal supervision
- Matric certificate essential

Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is listed on CareerJunction by Jordan HR, reference CT005300, posted 29 October 2026 and shown as expiring in 7 days. Use the Apply button on this page, which points to the original CareerJunction advert, and apply through that route only. Be wary of anyone asking for payment to process an application — a genuine recruiter does not charge job seekers for applying.
Practical tips
This advert rewards evidence of hunting, not just filling: lead with the clients you have won, the desks you have built and the placements you have closed, especially in nursing, pharmaceutical or occupational health recruitment. Give concrete examples of cold calling and face-to-face business development, and be ready to talk about how you handle targets, commission and out-of-hours locum demands. State your Matric clearly, since it is listed as essential, and keep your CV focused on revenue, client relationships and healthcare placements.

Applying through the original advert sends your application to Jordan HR, which screens candidates against the stated experience and attributes. Shortlisted candidates can expect to be contacted about next steps; the advert does not state interview stages or timelines, so keep a copy of the original listing and the reference number CT005300 for follow-up.
