Engineering Recruitment Delivery Specialist

The Opportunity

Our client is a four-and-a-half year old STEM recruitment agency based in the UK with a tight team of eight and a strong engineering delivery pedigree. They focus on technology, engineering, electronics, and firmware, placing specialist candidates across the UK with a growing roster of clients.

The engineering desk is busy. The pipeline is healthy, and right now there's more work than there are people to do it. They're looking for a delivery specialist who can take roles from brief to shortlist and get on with it.

The workload is real: two to five new roles a week, a shortlist of five qualified CVs within seven days, and a first profile on the client's desk within 24 hours.

If your default move is to pick up the phone, you know engineering recruitment, and you get energy from placing great candidates, there is real work on this desk from week one.

What We're Looking For

• Source and qualify engineering candidates across embedded software, firmware, hardware, embedded systems, electronics, and RF against active client briefs, with a first profile on the client's desk within 24 hours of receiving a role
• Deliver a shortlist of five qualified CVs per role within seven days, managing four to six active roles concurrently
• Spend close to two hours a day on the phone, talking to candidates, qualifying interest, and keeping clients updated on search progress
• Handle all candidate communication from initial outreach through to offer stage, including interview coordination and logistics
• Surface leads and relevant CVs from your delivery conversations and feed them into the wider sales pipeline
• Escalate early when a role is proving difficult rather than going quiet

Essential

• 2+ years of recruitment delivery experience in a STEM, engineering, or technology agency
• Demonstrable track record placing technical profiles across embedded software, firmware, hardware, embedded systems, electronics, RF, or closely adjacent disciplines
• Phone-first by default: comfortable with high outbound call volumes and consistently hitting two-plus hours of talk time a day
• Strong written and verbal English, able to engage senior engineering professionals with confidence
• Prior experience recruiting for the UK or US market

Advantageous

• Familiarity with LinkedIn Recruiter, SourceBreaker, or similar ATS/CRM platforms
• Commercial awareness and a natural inclination to flag leads as part of delivery
• Any genuine interest in engineering, electronics, or technology

The Ideal Candidate

• A delivery-focused recruiter who picks up the phone first and figures out the rest second
• Someone who tracks their own talk time and knows it correlates with results
• Comfortable operating in a small, high-trust team where output matters more than process
• Commercially minded enough to recognise a strong CV and get it in front of the right person

Compensation & commission

• Base salary: R30,000 - R39,000/pm
• Commission: Scaling/tiered structure in £

Working pattern

• Remote from South Africa.
• Core hours: 08:30 to 17:00 UK time, aligned with European clients.
