Human Resources professionals are in demand across all sectors of the South African economy. In the public service, HR posts are advertised regularly at salary levels 7 to 12, covering everything from HR clerks to Chief Directors of Human Resources. Labour Relations is a particularly in-demand HR specialism in South Africa given the complexity of the Labour Relations Act, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, and the Employment Equity Act. Familiarity with PERSAL (the government HR system) is essential for most public sector HR roles.
