• Perform full‑cycle recruitment for our Africa HQ in Johannesburg (on average four hires per month).
• Facilitate the smooth operation of self‑service Retail Store recruitment for Southern Africa and Germany (on average 50 hires per month).
• Role reports to Head of TA for EMEA, in Europe.
• Develop and implement agile recruiting plans for different situations in different countries for different roles. This includes using Indeed, local job‑boards, Linked In, shopping centre job‑boards, internal referrals, store‑window advertisements, proactive Linked In searches, and managing applicant numbers to maintain a manageable pool.

• Urgency:
  It’s retail, so everything is needed now.

• We are a 5‑day office company; retail staff go to work every day, and the Support Centre culture is the same.
• You will not be someone who changes jobs every year; we expect a stable track record to justify training investment.
