You will be a key part of the team committed to providing quality, timely and effective administrative support for all recruitment activities.

You will collaborate closely with your team and hiring managers alike to ensure all processes are followed and that documentation is accurate up to date.

Key Responsibilities

• Post job advertisement and manage requisition creation across relevant platforms.
