Work-Force
Applications are warmly invited for a Talent Acquisition Specialist role based in Durban. We welcome candidates from every background across KwaZulu-Natal who are ready to grow with us.
What This Role Involves
An experienced Talent Acquisition Specialist is needed to support operations in Durban. The role forms part of how the business keeps its hr jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Durban teams, and the new Talent Acquisition Specialist will feel that from the first week.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Talent Acquisition Specialist is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in KwaZulu-Natal is consistently high and consistently fair.
Diversity and Inclusion
The organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Durban.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across KwaZulu-Natal.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
What Your Day Looks Like
Your day is people-shaped from the moment you log in. You move between recruitment screens, manager calls, payroll queries and the occasional sensitive conversation that needs your full attention. Mid-morning you might be running an onboarding session for new starters, and by the afternoon you’re back at your desk preparing EE or B-BBEE reports. Through it all, you balance compliance with care, making sure that policies are followed and people are heard.
Crucially, the Durban office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Durban.
About Durban
Practically speaking, the role is based in Durban, on the Umhlanga Ridge business corridor. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Durban and the broader KwaZulu-Natal region.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Durban.
Many candidates already living within reach of Durban cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local KwaZulu-Natal economy.
Meet the Team
Importantly, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Durban office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when KwaZulu-Natal operations get busy.
Practically speaking, the team mix in Durban reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
What We Offer
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Durban colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the hr jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in KwaZulu-Natal.
Notably, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Durban keep progressing.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Durban teams.
