Fintech Scale-Up · 6-Month Contract · Hybrid, Johannesburg

We're partnering with one of the world's fastest-growing fintech businesses to scale their technology organisation during a critical growth phase. This is a strategic, high-visibility recruitment role — not a req-filling exercise.

The role

You'll own end-to-end hiring across Software Engineering and Technology, working directly with senior hiring managers and business leaders. This is a business that treats recruitment as a strategic function, not an admin process, so you'll have real input into hiring strategy, not just execution.

What you'll actually be doing

• Owning full-cycle recruitment across multiple technical disciplines simultaneously

• Building and executing sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill engineering roles

• Acting as a genuine advisor to hiring managers — pushback, market insight, and structured process, not just calendar management

• Proactively building pipelines of passive senior technical talent

• Using hiring data to shape decisions, not just report on them

What you'll need

• 5–8 years' experience recruiting technical talent, ideally in-house or embedded within a fast-scaling tech or fintech business

• A track record of closing senior/specialist engineering roles independently, without heavy reliance on inbound

• Strong command of sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter and beyond) and a genuine read on the software engineering talent market

• The confidence to challenge hiring managers on process, market reality, and candidate experience

• Comfort managing a high-volume, fast-moving requisition load without dropping quality

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Chapter 2 🌍✨

At Chapter 2, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming workplace where everyone belongs. Regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, or neurodiversity, we celebrate the unique perspectives that make us stronger. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and are happy to accommodate any recruitment or interview adjustments needed to create a smooth and comfortable experience. Your individuality matters, and we believe that diverse philosophies, cultures, and experiences drive innovation and success.
