Job description
From ISTA Personnel Solutions’s job post, as they wrote it.
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.

* 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.
