About The Organisation And The Role

Staffwise is a Jewish job centre committed to reducing unemployment and promoting sustainable livelihoods within Cape Town’s Jewish community, serving a wide range of individuals—from entry-level job seekers to seasoned professionals—offering recruitment services, career coaching, and entrepreneurial support.

We are now looking for a Talent & Career Catalyst—a proactive, compassionate professional who can empower people at pivotal career moments while partnering with employers to meet their staffing needs.

This is not a traditional HR role. You’ll operate at the intersection of career support, talent acquisition, and project delivery, working hands-on with job seekers and employers while contributing to initiatives that enhance Staffwise’s organisational impact. If you’re a people champion with a heart for community, a head for systems, and a passion for making change happen—this is your chance to be a catalyst for meaningful transformation.

Main Duties & Responsibilities

• Career Services
• Run job readiness and employability programs tailored to individual needs.
• Provide career counselling and coaching to support long-term job seeker success.
• Conduct CV and LinkedIn reviews, interview preparation, and career planning sessions.
• Foster nurturing, dignity-driven relationships with applicants, offering consistent follow-up and guidance.
• Recruitment Services
• Provide end-to-end recruitment support for community employers including job scoping, advertising, screening, and interview coordination.
• Maintain a pipeline of quality candidates across a range of roles and industries.
• Promote Staffwise services to employers and build long-term partnerships for repeat hiring.
• Support onboarding and post-placement check-ins where appropriate.
• Recruitment database administration and reporting.
• Projects
• Lead or support organisational projects that improve Staffwise’s services and systems.
• Collaborate with colleagues to ensure projects align with community needs and organisational strategy.

• Work experience and industry exposure
• Degree in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology or a related field (essential).
• Minimum 3 years’ experience in HR management, ideally within a consulting, NGO, or community environment.
• Background in recruitment, career counselling, or employee coaching is highly advantageous.
• Experience in performance management and talent mapping, desirable.
• Strong Communication and Interpersonal skills
• Comfortable communicating with diverse clients, including in sensitive situations.
• Able to deliver training, coaching, and constructive feedback effectively.
• Confident in managing relationships with job seekers and employers.
• Excellent Administration and Organisational Skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain meticulous records.
• Structured and responsive approach to changing service demands.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and digital recruitment platforms.
• General
• A strong service mindset with a caring, community-focused attitude.
• Digital fluency: Microsoft Office (Windows 10), social media, and CRM management (exposure to Salesforce would be an advantage).
