IT Recruiter  |  Permanent  |  Onsite – Pietermaritzburg

Are you the kind of person who
doesn’t wait for opportunity — you create it?

At Sabenza IT, we’re
looking for driven, ambitious individuals who are ready to take their career to
the next level. This isn’t a role for someone just “looking for a job.” This is
for people who want to grow, succeed, and make a real impact in South
Africa’s exciting IT recruitment space.

If you thrive on connecting
talent with opportunity, love the energy of a fast-paced environment, and are
hungry to build something meaningful — keep reading.

Why This Opportunity is Different

Sabenza IT is a niche
recruitment company specialising in Information Technology. We partner with
leading organisations across South Africa and beyond, placing high-calibre IT
professionals into roles that shape the future of technology.

As an IT Recruiter in our
Talent Acquisition team, you won’t just fill vacancies — you’ll build careers,
influence hiring strategies, and develop your own expertise in one of the most
dynamic industries in the country. Reporting to the Talent Acquisition Manager
/ HR Manager, you’ll have the support, autonomy, and visibility to grow into a
true specialist.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll own the full recruitment
lifecycle for exciting IT roles — from software developers and data scientists
to cybersecurity specialists and cloud architects:

•        Source & attract top IT talent through creative
strategies, LinkedIn, GitHub, networking, and referrals — including passive
candidates who aren’t actively job hunting.

•        Partner closely with hiring managers and clients to
understand technical needs and craft compelling job opportunities.

•        Screen CVs, conduct initial interviews, coordinate
technical assessments, and manage offers with confidence and care.

•        Build lasting relationships with candidates and
stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor and brand ambassador.

•        Share market insights on skills demand, salary trends,
and recruitment best practice in the South African IT sector.

•        Maintain accurate records, deliver recruitment metrics,
and ensure full compliance with South African labour laws (including Employment
Equity and POPIA).

Who Thrives in This Role

We’re looking for someone who is
ready to step up — not just clock in. The ideal person brings:

•        Excellent proactive and organised skills — you
anticipate needs, plan ahead, manage multiple priorities with ease, and keep
processes running smoothly without being asked.

•        Outstanding ability to communicate with people at
all levels — from junior candidates to C-suite stakeholders, you build
rapport quickly, listen actively, and influence with clarity and confidence.

•        A results-driven mindset with a track record in inbound
and outbound sales or business development, strong telephone skills, and
natural negotiation ability.

•        Resilience under pressure, personal drive, and the
hunger to put in the hard work required to hit (and exceed) targets.

•        Genuine curiosity about technology and a willingness to
quickly learn emerging skills (Python, AWS, DevOps, and beyond).

•        Empathy and the ability to guide candidates through
important career decisions with professionalism and integrity.

•        Comfort with sourcing techniques (Boolean & X-ray
searches), assessing technical CVs, and using Microsoft Office and recruitment
tools.

What Success Looks Like for You

In this role you’ll develop deep
expertise in the South African IT job market, expand your professional network,
and gain exposure to both agency-style client work and high-impact placements.
You’ll be measured on meaningful outcomes — time-to-hire, quality of hire, and
relationship strength — while building a reputation as someone who gets things
done with energy and integrity.

This is a permanent,
office-based role in Pietermaritzburg with standard hours and the flexibility
to support candidate availability when needed. Compensation is market-related
(basic salary plus commission), reflecting both your experience and your results.
