We’re working with an established manufacturing business, and they’re looking for a Junior HR Officer / Junior Talent Specialist to provide operational and administrative support across the full employee lifecycle.
Working closely with the HR Manager, you’ll support recruitment, onboarding, HR administration, performance management, employee relations and reporting — keeping HR processes running efficiently and compliantly.
What you’ll do
• Coordinate end-to-end recruitment administration — screening applications, scheduling interviews, reference and background checks, and recruitment documentation
• Manage onboarding and offboarding, liaising with IT, Finance and other teams so new joiners are set up to succeed
• Maintain the HR Information System (HRIS) and keep employee records accurate across the lifecycle
• Coordinate the performance-management cycle — goal setting, reviews and moderation
• Provide administrative support for employee-relations matters (disciplinary, grievance, CCMA), keeping confidential records
• Coordinate training and development activities, and prepare monthly payroll input
• Prepare standard HR reports (recruitment, onboarding, leave, headcount) and support HR audits
What you’ll bring
• A degree in Human Resource Management, Industrial Psychology or a related field
• 2–3 years’ experience in Human Resources with generalist exposure, including full employee-lifecycle management
• An understanding of South African labour legislation, recruitment and HR administration
• The ability to communicate in more than one South African language — the workforce is multilingual, so this matters day to day
• Strong administrative, organisational and communication skills, and the ability to maintain confidentiality
Working model
Office-based in Johannesburg.
