Talent Acquisition Specialist

DLK Group is looking for a Junior Talent Acquisition Consultant to join our People and Culture team.

Location:

Pinelands, Cape Town

Contract:

3-month limited duration contract

Working hours:

08:00–16:30 or 08:30–17:00

The role will initially be offered on a 3-month limited duration contract. This gives both you and DLK the opportunity to see whether the role, team and working environment are the right fit before considering a longer-term opportunity. There is room to grow within Talent Acquisition and the wider People and Culture team for someone who shows strong capability, ownership and continued development.

You will gain practical exposure to the full recruitment process rather than only recruitment administration. You will build experience in ICT and professional services recruitment. You will work closely with the Head of People and Culture and receive support as you grow into the role. The role is based at our Pinelands office. We work in a hybrid environment, with selected Wednesdays available as work-from-home days.

Flexible working hours are available, with the option to work 08:00–16:30 or 08:30–17:00. You will work with different areas of the business, including People and Culture, Client Engagement, Solutions Delivery, Finance and Operations. You will gain hands‑on experience using Zoho Recruit, Linked In, PNet and Microsoft 365. You will be part of a small team where your work is visible and where you will have the opportunity to contribute ideas and take on more responsibility as you develop.

Remuneration is market-related and will be aligned to the experience and requirements of the role.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing allocated vacancies and recruitment requirements
• Advertising vacancies on PNet, Linked In, Zoho Recruit and other approved platforms
• Searching for suitable candidates through job boards, Linked In, our existing database and referrals
• Screening CVs and applications against the requirements of each role
• Conducting initial candidate screening discussions

• Ensuring successful candidates are handed over correctly for onboarding
• Keeping recruitment information accurate and up to date in Zoho Recruit and other systems
• Preparing vacancy trackers and recruitment updates
• Following up on outstanding information and deadlines
• Looking for practical ways to improve the recruitment process and candidate experience

We would like to meet someone who:

• Enjoys working with people and communicating with candidates
• Is organised and comfortable managing more than one priority at a time
• Takes ownership of their work and follows things through
• Pays attention to detail
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Is comfortable asking questions when something is unclear
