Work-Force
Applications are warmly invited for a Talent Acquisition Specialist role based in Saldanha. We welcome candidates from every background across Western Cape who are ready to grow with us.
About the Opportunity
This Talent Acquisition Specialist role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Saldanha. 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.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Saldanha also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Equal Opportunity
Crucially, 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 Saldanha.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Saldanha.
Equally, the Saldanha 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.
