Human resources roles Mauritius

Hi Ali157,

I suggest you to have a look to these two articles below, it may help you in your research :

- Finding a job in Mauritius

- Work market in Mauritius

Being a Mauritian, i can say that there are some opportunities in HR fields but it depends, some vacancies apply to expats and some only to locals.

Thank you,

Hi there, 

I don't want to be too negative but the chances of getting HR work as an expat in Mauritius are very slim.  I am Australian, a HR Professional with 20+ years experience in Australia and Africa in the mining industry.  Mauritius is a fantastic base for me but my work is international. You would definitely need fluent french to work with a Mauritian company and salaries here are just a fraction of what you would get in Australia. On a work permit you might expect to be paid about MUR60,000 per month - about US$2,000 per month.

Just my opinion, if someone else has a different view that is great.

Good luck.

Hi heyjude, thanks for the response! I am also realistic of the opportunities in HR in Mauritius and am willing to diversify into other management areas if possible - however wanted to try and stay in my field of expertise first. If you have any ideas or contacts you could point me towards it would be most appreciated- there is very little online information about HR in Mauritius. Thanks again!

Hi Ali,

Sorry, I really do not have contacts in Mauritius that can help with work.  Any management job will require a good degree of French proficiency and as already mentioned you would need to be willing to work for a relatively low salary.  You need to think about what skills you can offer that a Mauritian citizen cannot, if you have a very unique or specialised skill you could try approaching companies that may need that skill directly.

If you have not already done so you could come to Mauritius on a tourist visa and take a look around and scout for potential opportunities.

Good luck.
