What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply HR compliance, recruitment support, and confidential administration—while bringing a quick-study approach from data analytics and AI training—to deliver organized, efficient results in a collaborative environment.

I’m a Human Resources Officer with experience supporting recruitment and staffing processes at the University of South Africa, including HR screening, shortlisting and selection committee packs, onboarding of new employees, and maintaining confidential HR documentation. I coordinate staffing logistics (venues, interviews, assessments, travel, equipment, and teleconferencing) and provide HR administration such as archiving, scanning, HR filling, and preparing quarterly HR reports for leadership and stakeholders.

I also strengthen HR governance by contributing to employment equity committee work as a custodian of EE policies and by updating staff personal details in Excel while maintaining an HR database. With training across AI safety and strategies, data analytics, Generative AI (Google Cloud), ITIL V4, SEO, and customer service, I bring curiosity, organization, and a quick-study mindset to help teams deliver efficient, professional outcomes.
