JUNIOR SOURCING SUPPORT ASSISTANT to be based in Bellville, Cape Town

We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive JUNIOR SOURCING SUPPORT ASSISTANT to join our team and support our Sourcing Lead with day-to-day candidate management and administrative tasks.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys structure, extensive candidate interaction, and operational support work.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

• A supportive environment with ongoing on-the-job learning
• Clear processes and guidance from an experienced Sourcing Lead
• The opportunity to deepen your skills within candidate sourcing over time (but not HR)

• Has strong attention to detail, accuracy, and consistency in documentation
• Can prioritise tasks and manage a fast-paced workload
• Is comfortable remaining in a support role long-term, with future growth within sourcing (not HR)
• Works well independently and takes initiative
• Has basic computer literacy and can learn new systems quickly

Previous recruitment or sourcing exposure is beneficial but not essential. We are open to junior candidates with the right attitude and work ethic.

You follow processes, honour commitments, and take responsibility for the quality of your work. You are disciplined, reliable, and see tasks through to completion with care and accountability.

Accuracy & Attention to Detail

You work in an orderly, detail-focused way and take pride in getting things right the first time. You consistently check your work, prevent errors, and ensure information is handled accurately from start to finish.

Results-Oriented

You are motivated by achieving objectives and delivering outcomes. You stay focused even when challenges arise, work toward clear goals, and take ownership of seeing work completed on time.

Initiative

You don't wait to be told what to do. You identify opportunities, take action proactively, and are open to starting new tasks, suggesting improvements, and driving work forward.

Analysing & Forming Opinions

You approach problems thoughtfully and systematically. You gather information, identify root causes, and draw logical conclusions that support sound decision-making.
