## Description

ISTA Personnel Solutions South Africa is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company based in South Africa, specialising in providing top-tier operational support to U.S.-based companies. We are not a recruitment agency - we act as a dedicated extension of our clients' teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our client's Talent Acquisition Team, a U.S.-based provider of ABA therapy services. This role is ideal for a high-energy, target-driven person with a sales background who knows how to build rapport, sell an opportunity, and get great candidates excited to join the team. You don't need to be a career recruiter, but you do need drive, resilience, and a genuine interest in understanding the ABA industry and our client's business. You will start with resume screening and back-office recruitment support, with the goal of growing into conducting full candidate interviews and screenings. Please note this is not a commission-based role.

**PLEASE NOTE:**

-   **Working Hours:** Monday – Friday, 3:00pm – 12:00am SAST (subject to daylight saving time).
-   **Public Holidays:** You will work on all South African public holidays. Compensated in line with the BCEA.
-   **Internet Requirements:** A **fixed fibre line** with a minimum speed of **25 Mbps (upload & download)** and the ability to support a **wired Ethernet connection** is mandatory. Applicants without a fixed fibre line cannot be considered.
-   **Power Backup:** A **reliable power backup solution** is required to manage **load shedding and power outages**. Applicants without a power backup cannot be considered.
-   **Work Environment:** Fully remote _(you must be located in South Africa)_

**Responsibilities:**

-   Receive and review inbound resumes and employment inquiries, responding promptly and professionally.
-   Screen resumes against role requirements and shortlist suitable candidates.
-   Conduct phone interviews to assess experience, communication skills, and suitability for the role (building up to full interviewing and screening responsibility as you grow in the role).
-   Promote the company and the opportunity to candidates, creating a positive candidate experience and encouraging them to join the team.
-   Endorse suitable candidates to the hiring team and submit batches of candidates for review within agreed deadlines.
-   Coordinate offers and hires, and keep candidates informed throughout the process.
-   Manage onboarding, including collecting and verifying new hire paperwork and credentials.
-   Accurately document all candidate interactions and keep recruitment records up to date within the system.
-   Follow the client's established recruitment workflows and meet quality and productivity expectations.
-   Assist with administrative projects and other recruitment support tasks as needed.

**Requirements:**

-   Proven sales or target-driven background (e.g. sales, business development, account management, or a high-performance call centre environment) with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets.
-   High energy, strong drive, and resilience, with the ability to stay motivated and positive through rejection and pressure.
-   Ability to sell an opportunity and build rapport quickly with candidates.
-   Genuine interest in the ABA therapy and healthcare space, and a willingness to learn the client's business and speak about it with confidence.
-   Excellent communication skills, with a good phone personality and English pronunciation.
-   Friendly, dynamic, and personable, with a positive attitude.
-   Detail-oriented with strong organisational and multitasking skills.
-   Basic computer skills and confident navigation of MS Office and Outlook.
-   Comfortable working independently in a remote environment with minimal supervision.
-   Able to follow documented workflows and work to quality and productivity targets.
-   Professional, discreet, and dependable when handling candidate information and credentials.
-   Ambitious with a strong work ethic.

**Beneficial:**

-   Recruiting background, with an understanding of both assessing candidates and selling the opportunity to them.
-   ABA therapy experience (recruiting for or working in ABA, e.g. RBT or BCBA roles).
-   Previous healthcare or healthcare staffing recruitment experience.
-   Experience with an applicant tracking system (ATS) and onboarding or credentialing processes.
