Recruiter – Cape Town (Office-Based)

Multitask | Prioritise | Keep the Desk Moving

Are you the kind of person who can handle a dozen things at once without losing track? We’re looking for a proactive, organised Recruiter to support a very busy desk. In this role, you’ll constantly move between tasks — typing a CV, then jumping onto an urgent client request, then handling compliance checks — and once the urgent work is done, you’ll go back and finish what you started.

The ability to prioritise what’s most important and still close off everything else is non-negotiable.

This isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity to grow, learn, and make a real impact on people’s lives.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Switching between tasks all day: interviews, CV typing, compliance, client calls, and admin
  • Sourcing and screening candidates for temporary, contract, and permanent placements
  • Conducting interviews and completing reference checks
  • Advertising roles and managing responses across platforms
  • Preparing professional CVs and keeping the database up to date
  • Handling compliance, contracts, and timesheets for temps
  • Engaging confidently with clients and candidates
  • Providing after-hours support for urgent bookings when required
What You Need to Bring
  • Matric (essential)
  • Strong computer literacy – MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) is essential
  • 2+ years recruitment or HR experience (agency background is a plus)
  • At least 1 year strong admin experience
  • Ability to multitask, prioritise, and return to unfinished work without dropping anything
  • Excellent communication skills in English & Afrikaans (written and spoken)
  • A good head for numbers and strong attention to detail
  • Resilient, driven, and a real team player

Why This Role?

This is not a desk for someone who wants to do one thing all day — it’s busy, varied, and always moving. If you can think on your feet, switch gears fast, and still deliver quality work, this is where you’ll shine. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team, and your work will directly impact careers, businesses, and lives.
