About Talent Advantage
Talent Advantage is a Toronto-based recruitment and staffing firm helping companies identify and hire exceptional professionals across a wide range of industries, including Information Technology, Accounting &amp; Finance, Engineering, Sales &amp; Marketing, Human Resources, Legal and Executive Leadership.
We take a professional, relationship-driven approach to recruitment. Our team works closely with both clients and candidates to understand what makes a successful match—not simply to fill a position.
We are looking for an intelligent, highly motivated and personable

You do
not
need extensive recruitment experience. We are much more interested in finding someone who is

Recruitment experience is NOT required.
We are willing to train the right person from the ground up.
Why This Role Is Different
You won’t be spending your entire day doing repetitive administrative work.
You will be
speaking with real professionals, conducting interviews, participating in client meetings, learning how recruitment works and working directly with the leadership of a Canadian recruitment company.
You will receive hands-on training and gradually take ownership of meaningful parts of the recruitment process.
For the right person, this role can develop into a broader
Recruitment / Talent Acquisition career path
with increasing responsibility.
Working Hours
Full-Time
Primarily aligned with
Eastern Time
to support our Canadian and North American clients and candidates.
Some flexibility may be available depending on business requirements.
Compensation
ZAR 12,000- 20,000 annual base salary + a strong commissions structure
, depending on qualifications and experience.
The right candidate does not need years of experience. We are willing to invest in training someone with exceptional potential.
Who Will Succeed in This Role?
If you’re the type of person who:
<ul>
<li>Picks things up quickly</li>
<li>Communicates confidently with people you’ve never met</li>
<li>Can have a natural conversation rather than simply read from a script</li>
<li>Takes pride in doing things properly</li>
<li>Is comfortable asking questions when you don’t understand something</li>
<li>Wants to learn how businesses actually operate</li>
<li>Enjoys working with people</li>
<li>Wants more responsibility than a traditional VA role</li>

</ul>
we’d love to hear from you.
