About This Position
This Talent Acquisition Specialist role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Mossel Bay. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the hr jobs pipeline across Western Cape.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the hr jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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.

Importantly, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mossel Bay site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
