Job Description

Location: Johannesburg

Recruitment Operations & Delivery Executive (Hybrid)

We're hiring a Recruitment Operations & Delivery Executive to join our Johannesburg team and play a critical role in enabling a fast paced, high performing technology recruitment hub, 60 Degrees.

This is not a traditional admin role. It's a high impact position focused on improving delivery, driving operational excellence, and enabling consultants to perform at their best.

You'll sit at the centre of a fast paced contingent recruitment team, ensuring processes run smoothly, candidate and client experience remains high, and data, systems, and workflows operate to a consistently strong standard.

If you are highly organised, commercially aware, detail driven, and excited by using technology and AI to improve how recruitment works, we'd love to hear from you.

What you will be doing
  • Supporting the team with day to day coordination, including travel, logistics, and general operational needs.
  • Keeping an eye on relevant industry events (tech, HR, etc.) and supporting event coordination, including hosting our own events.
  • Staying current with recruitment tools, systems, and ways of working, with a focus on improving efficiency through technology and AI.
  • Supporting the calculation and validation of total cost to company, ensuring accuracy across all placements.
  • Tracking contractor lifecycle processes, including start dates, extensions, and contract renewals.
  • Identifying process gaps and suggesting improvements to enhance efficiency and delivery.
  • Checking in with placed candidates post start to ensure a positive experience and supporting the collection of testimonials where relevant.
  • Supporting the wider Johannesburg office with operational needs when required.
  • Supporting the end to end recruitment process from an operational and delivery perspective across the contingent and research teams.
  • Coordinating interviews between candidates, clients, and consultants with speed and accuracy.
  • Managing CV formatting using AI enabled tools, ensuring high quality, consistent outputs.
  • Coordinating background checks and ensuring all candidate information is accurate and up to date.
  • Creating, posting, and quality controlling job adverts.
  • Attending client briefings to understand requirements and support delivery across roles.
  • Managing and maintaining data integrity across our CRM and ATS systems, ensuring all activity is accurately tracked.
  • Handling inbound calls, inboxes, and general enquiries, acting as a key communication point for the team.
  • Liaising closely with the central operations team to ensure all placement details are accurate, start dates are confirmed, and invoices are raised correctly.
  • Acting as a bridge between consultants and operations, ensuring a smooth transition from placement to onboarding and ongoing contractor management.
What we are looking for
  • Previous experience within a recruitment agency environment.
  • Tech recruitment experience would be advantageous, although it is not a mandatory requirement.
  • Exposure to contingent or contract recruitment preferred.
  • Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast moving environment.
  • Confident communicator with candidates, clients, and internal stakeholders.
  • Strong systems capability with CRM / ATS platforms (Vincere experience advantageous).
  • Commercial awareness and understanding of how recruitment delivery supports revenue.
  • Process improvement mindset: you naturally spot gaps and solve problems.
  • Interest in technology recruitment markets such as software, data, cyber, cloud, or digital hiring is highly desirable.
  • Curiosity around AI and automation tools.
Working Style
  • Based in Johannesburg, within close proximity to our office (1 Bompas).
  • Hybrid working environment (typically three days in office), with flexibility required based on team and business needs.
Perks and benefits
  • We focus on building high performing teams and delivering quality outcomes for clients. You'll be part of a team that values quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • You'll join a growing business where your contribution is visible, your ideas matter, and you'll have the opportunity to help shape scalable, modern recruitment operations.
  • This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow into operations leadership, delivery management, or broader commercial recruitment roles over time.
