Human Resources Assistant — A Contact (Maputo)

The essentials: A Contact (CONTACT) is recruiting a Human Resources Assistant for Maputo, on-site, reporting to the Director of Human Resources. The position is published by A Contact, recruiting on behalf of its client — a company whose identity is undisclosed. Applications are open until October 8, 2026 and must be submitted through A Contact's recruitment portal.

About the position

A Contact is looking for a support professional for the Human Resources department for one of its clients in Maputo. In practice, you will support the HR department with day-to-day tasks, from recruitment to payroll processing, and help keep everything organized, up to date, and compliant with legislation.

It is an operational support role: you do not lead the department, but you ensure processes run smoothly and that the department has the right information at the right time. The work covers several fronts simultaneously and requires precision, because every error on a payroll, personnel record, or recruitment process has consequences.

It is important to understand that this is a support role and not a management position: you sustain the department, prepare information, and keep processes in order so that department leadership can make decisions based on accurate and timely data. Your ability to work with detail and discretion makes a difference in everything that passes through your hands.

The role is challenging because it combines detailed work with direct contact with people. The person in this role must be methodical, treat employees with respect and trust, and keep processes aligned even with multiple matters running in parallel.

What you will do

• Support recruitment, personnel administration, and Human Resources management functions.
• Support payroll processing, including the respective statutory reporting.
• Support the development of training plans and career management.
• Handle labor relations matters and follow up on personnel files from start to finish.
• Organize attendance and head-count documentation and log them into the management system.

The profile A Contact is looking for

A Contact is looking for someone organized, methodical, and with a good eye for detail. This is not a job for someone who avoids processes: it is for someone who enjoys bringing order, keeping records up to date, and treating people with respect and trust.

The right person handles deadlines well and manages the pressure of completing tasks on time without compromising quality. They also know how to communicate with people from different areas, as they will be in constant contact with employees and other teams within the company.

The ability to maintain confidentiality is highly valued, as you will work with sensitive personal information, such as payroll processing, selection processes, and personnel management. Having good interpersonal skills while knowing how to respect the boundaries of what can and should be shared is just as important as technical mastery of the field.

What you can expect

• On-site work in Maputo.
• You will support the client's Human Resources team.
• Remuneration is undisclosed.
