International Recruitment Consultant – ERP & Enterprise Technology
Salary: R32,000 + commission
Role Overview
This is a senior, sales-led recruitment role within a specialist recruitment business operating across the UK and European enterprise technology markets, with future expansion into the US.
The role focuses on ERP and enterprise application recruitment, placing professionals into systems that underpin core business operations. These are high-value, mission-critical environments where hiring decisions directly impact financial operations, manufacturing and supply chain performance, HR systems, and enterprise-wide transformation initiatives.
You will work in a true 360 recruitment capacity, owning revenue from business development through to placement. This is not a resourcing, support, or delivery-only role. It requires commercial judgement, confidence, and the ability to sell credibly in candidate-short international markets.
The role is fully remote and designed for recruiters who can operate autonomously, think commercially, and take accountability for outcomes without close supervision.
The Markets You Will Recruit Into
You will recruit into specialist ERP and enterprise technology markets, not generalist IT or high-volume tech recruitment.
Typical systems and platforms include:
- ERP platforms such as NetSuite, IFS, Infor, Epicor, and comparable enterprise systems
- Enterprise HR and business applications, including HRIS and finance-led platforms
- Supporting enterprise technologies across systems integration, data migration, and application optimisation
Roles commonly include:
- ERP & Enterprise Application Consultants (functional and technical)
- ERP Developers, Systems Analysts, and Administrators
- Business Systems & Application Specialists
- Project Managers and Transformation Leads
- Implementation, Upgrade, and Optimisation Specialists
These roles are typically:
- Senior, specialist, and business-critical
- Delivered into candidate-driven markets
- Often contract-based or time-sensitive
- Aligned to transformation programmes, system rollouts, upgrades, or ongoing enterprise operations
You do not need to be a technical ERP expert, but you must be comfortable operating in complex, specialist marketswhere credibility, preparation, and intelligent questioning are essential.
