The role:

• Lovisa has 80 stores in Southern Africa and a Global Support Centre
• This role is to help them facilitate recruitment from our Africa HQ in Johannesburg
• Develop and implement agile recruiting plans for different situations in different countries for different roles. Sometimes Indeed works, sometimes local job-boards, sometimes Linked-in. Sometimes the shopping centre job-board. Sometimes internal referrals, or a store-window advertisement. Sometimes you may best do a proactive LinkedIn search. Sometimes we may get too many applicants that need to be brought back to manageable numbers. You work out what’s our best supply channels and screening for each area
• Hiring Managers assess and interview candidates, there are too many stores for you to do it – your job is to make sure they have quality supply
• Social Media recruitment – maximize the channels at our disposal
• Engage and manage agencies if we’ve shown its required
• Master the ATS, and the reporting insights it gives us
• You will be working with top-notch recruitment and HR leadership in Africa and Europe. You should expect high exposure to best-practice thinking in recruitment, and we welcome your input and ideas.

You:

• You will not be talking about what cannot be done, you will be talking about what can be done. Internal recruitment cannot leave a problem unsolved
• Urgency. It’s retail, after all. Everything is needed now
• English required, but any other languages would be useful
• Having been in recruitment before would be helpful. Not absolutely necessary if you are bright, engaging, positive and absorb training like a sponge, but having done some recruitment – or worked in a retail store environment – would give you a head start
• We are a 5-days in the office company. Culturally retail staff go every day to their place of work, and the Support Centre culture is the same
• You will not be someone who changes job every year. We expect to invest time and training into you, which will be safer if you have a stable track record
• You will have your own energy. We will help direct you, but not push you

Benefits to you

• Work for a cool brand
• Get exposure to Africa and Europe, you will make new friends in different countries
• Learn everything everywhere about supply of retail people
• Spend time with leaders in HR and Recruitment, develop and test your own theories on how to do the job better
• You will be encouraged to embrace digital
• You will be trained as an expert in a fresh, new ATS
• Oh, and you will have fun. Our people are nice.

Reach out, have a conversation. We would love to talk with you about this role.

We believe in supporting diverse cultures and harnessing the unique knowledge and experience of our team. We celebrate our global presence, by supporting our culturally diverse team around the world.
