Data Entry Specialist

Role overview

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Data Entry Specialist to work remotely from South Africa for a UK-based employer. The work is steady and detail-driven: moving information into the right systems, checking it against source documents, and flagging anything that looks wrong. If you are the person who spots the transposed digit everyone else missed, you will do well here.

Key responsibilities

Enter customer, invoice, and order data into internal systems and spreadsheets

Cross-check entries against source documents and correct discrepancies

Clean and de-duplicate existing records

Convert documents between formats and file them correctly

Flag missing or unclear information to the relevant team

What you will need

One or more years in data entry, admin, or a similar detail-heavy role

Fast, accurate typing — around 45 words per minute or better

Experience with Excel or Google Sheets, including sorting and basic formulas

Familiarity with a CRM or ERP system is useful but not essential

A reliable computer and stable fibre or LTE internet

Availability 09:00 to 17:00 UK time (11:00 to 19:00 SAST)

What is on offer

R12,000 to R15,000 per month, depending on experience

100% remote — work from home anywhere in South Africa

Predictable hours and a clear, manageable workload

Paid leave and UK public holidays

Full training on the systems you will be using

Apply through Remote Recruitment with an up-to-date CV. Every application is reviewed.

How the day works

Work is assigned in daily batches, so you always know what is in front of you and when it needs to be finished. You will have a named point of contact for questions and a short check-in each morning. Accuracy matters more than raw speed here, and there is no phone work involved. Remote Recruitment places South African talent with UK employers on long-term contracts, so this is a settled role rather than short-term project work, with room to move into a coordinator position over time.
