The Matchmaking: Conducting interviews aligned with client expectations, arranging interviews, and managing the full 360° recruitment cycle from sourcing to successful placement.

The Track Record: 3–5 years of solid recruitment experience with a proven history of making successful placements.
The Skills: Exceptional sourcing abilities, rock-solid administration skills, sharp problem-solving capabilities, and a high attention to detail.
The Language: Fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans (jy sal gemaklik tussen albei moet kan vlot gesels!).
The Vibe: A team player who thrives under pressure and loves a fast-paced environment.
