Job description

Future Careers is a fast‑growing South African recruitment agency, with multiple expanding brands under its umbrella. As our business scales, we are seeking a proactive and highly organised individual to support our Managing Director across recruitment operations, daily business functions, and multi‑brand social media activities.

This is a multi‑faced hybrid role requiring someone who is switched on, confident, tech‑savvy, and able to handle a fast‑paced environment with professionalism and enthusiasm.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Recruitment Researcher & Executive Assistant who will play a vital dual role:

• Recruitment Support — sourcing candidates, screening CVs, conducting references, coordinating with candidates, and ensuring our recruitment processes run efficiently.
• Executive Assistant to the Managing Director — providing day‑to‑day support, managing diaries, assisting with communication, writing, and overseeing social media for three growing brands.

This is a key support role where you work closely with the Managing Director to help drive operational excellence and brand visibility.

Key Responsibilities

Recruitment Research & Talent Support

• Source candidates across job portals, LinkedIn, internal databases, and referrals.
• Screen CVs, contact candidates, verify experience, check availability, and gather key information.
• Schedule interviews and coordinate calendars between candidates, clients, and the MD.
• Draft professional candidate summaries and motivations.
• Conduct reference checks and prepare reports.
• Maintain organised recruitment trackers and documentation.

Executive Assistant Support

• Manage the Managing Director’s diary, priorities, and daily workflow.
• Assist with emails, follow‑ups, reminders, and communication.
• Ensure the MD is prepared for meetings, presentations, and deadlines.
• Provide administrative and operational support across multiple business activities.
• Be a proactive problem‑solver who thinks ahead and takes initiative.

Social Media & Brand Management

• Assist in planning, scheduling, and posting content across three brands (Future Careers + others).
• Monitor engagement, inboxes, and comment responses across platforms.
• Work with the MD on content ideas, captions, and brand storytelling.
• Ensure brand consistency and professional online presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and more.
• Oversee and manage all social content.
• Understand all platforms and how they work (algorithms, content types, etc.).
• Report on analytics and progress to leadership.
• Follow and stay up to date on all policies.
• Engage in social media listening and monitoring—setting up alerts and daily check‑ins.

General Support & Coordination

• Help coordinate projects, events, and internal initiatives.
• Maintain confidentiality at all times.
• Support the team with documentation, formatting, and presentation preparation.
• Work closely with the MD to ensure smooth day‑to‑day operations.

What We’re Looking For

• Exceptionally organised, sharp‑thinking, and detail‑oriented.
• Strong communication skills with a polished and professional manner.
• Confident on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, CapCut and Canva.
• Ability to multitask, prioritise, and handle fast‑moving tasks.
• Proactive, solutions‑driven, and able to take initiative without constant supervision.
• Comfortable speaking with candidates and conducting phone screenings.
• Strong admin, scheduling, and coordination skills.
• Ability to work directly with a Managing Director in a high‑performance environment.
• Recruitment or EA experience advantageous but not essential if you have the right mindset.
• Must be tech‑savvy and quick to learn new tools/systems.
• Must maintain confidentiality and professionalism.

What We Offer

• Competitive basic salary.
• Growth opportunities.
• Training, mentorship, and support.
• Exposure across multiple business brands.
• Involvement in recruitment, social media, and executive operations.
• Supportive, dynamic, high‑performance culture.
