Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Talent Acquisition Specialist for its Hermanus operation. The role forms part of a wider hr jobs portfolio across Western Cape.
What This Role Involves
On top of that, the Talent Acquisition Specialist position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Western Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Hermanus and across the hr jobs space.
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.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the hr jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Hermanus much easier.
Practically speaking, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Hermanus also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Diversity and Inclusion
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Hermanus.
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.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Hermanus.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the hr jobs side of the business inside out. The Hermanus group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Beyond that, the team mix in Hermanus 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.
The Environment
Importantly, the environment blends desk-based administrative work with frequent interactions across the business. Confidentiality, fairness and compliance underpin the work.
In addition, 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 Hermanus site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Western Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
