Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

Advanced Personnel Services – Invercargill, South Island

We’re on the hunt for an Administrator / Resourcer to join our busy recruitment branch and become an essential part of our team.

This isn't your typical admin role where you sit quietly in the corner filing paperwork all day. One minute you could be speaking with a candidate about their next opportunity, the next you're helping source the perfect person for one of our clients, entering payroll, updating our systems, organising interviews or supporting the consultants to keep everything running like a well‑oiled machine.

What you'll be getting stuck into:

• Calling and screening candidates
• Sourcing new candidates through job boards, databases and other platforms
• Assisting with candidate registrations, compliance and onboarding
• Processing and entering weekly payroll accurately and on time
• Keeping our database and systems up to date
• Organising interviews and supporting the recruitment team
• Building relationships with candidates and being a friendly first point of contact
• Helping with all the important admin that keeps a busy recruitment branch ticking

What we're looking for:

You don't necessarily need years of recruitment experience — personality, initiative and a willingness to learn go a long way!

You’ll ideally be someone who:

• Is organised and loves ticking things off a to-do list
• Can juggle multiple tasks without breaking a sweat
• Has great attention to detail, especially when it comes to payroll and data entry
• Enjoys talking to people and building relationships
• Has great communication skills
• Is confident using computers and picking up new systems
• Can use their initiative and doesn't need to be told what to do every five minutes
• Brings a positive attitude and enjoys having a laugh along the way

The role

This is a fixed-term position for approximately 7–8 months, making it a great opportunity for someone looking for a rewarding role with school‑friendly hours.

The hours of work are 9:00am–3:00pm, Monday to Friday.

While the role is initially fixed term, there is potential for the position to extend longer term for the right person, depending on business needs and performance.

You’ll be joining a supportive team where no two days are the same. Recruitment can be busy, unpredictable and sometimes a little chaotic — but that's exactly what makes it fun!

If you're ready to bring your organisational skills, people skills and good energy to a team that knows how to work hard and have a laugh, we'd love to hear from you.
