Job Description

You'll find, screen and place the right people for a call centre group in Pinetown. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

What you'll actually do

  • Source candidates through search, referrals and your own database.
  • Give every shortlisted candidate feedback, including those who did not get the job.
  • Write clear, honest job ads and post them on job boards and LinkedIn.
  • Handle candidate data in line with POPIA, including consent and deletion.
  • Take detailed job briefs from hiring managers and clients.
  • Screen CVs and run phone interviews to check fit and salary expectations.

What you need

  • Skilled at LinkedIn search and job board databases
  • Organised enough to run 15 or more vacancies at once
  • At least 1 year of recruitment, sourcing or recruitment admin
  • A diploma or degree in HR or a related field, or strong agency experience
  • Confident on the phone with candidates and managers
  • Honest about salaries, deadlines and outcomes

Helpful, not essential

  • A niche market such as IT, nursing or engineering
  • An applicant tracking system such as Bullhorn or a similar ATS
  • Knowledge of employment equity targets when shortlisting

What's in it for you

  • LinkedIn Recruiter licence provided
  • Hybrid working
  • Clear growth path to senior consultant or team manager
