Recruitment Services for Permanent Placements

Applicants for permanent positions are recruited and selected based on client requirements. Should we not have suitable candidates registered with ourselves we will advertise accordingly at our expense.

The client’s identity is not revealed to any applicant or third party until an interview is requested by the Client with a specific applicant. Our clients and applicants can thus be sure of total confidentiality at all times.

Once our recruitment, interviewing and selection process is complete we will provide you with detailed Curriculum Vitae of suitable applicants and you will then select applicants that you wish to interview to make your final selection.

All interview arrangements can be handled by us on your behalf, should you request this.

All our permanent placements carry a guarantee as detailed in our Terms and Conditions of Service.

Recruitment Services for Temp Placements

Our Temporary Division offers high calibre “temps” at all levels in all disciplines for long or short-term assignments.

We comply with all the relevant legislation such as the Labour Relations Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act, POPI and PAIA.

Payroll Management for Temp Placements

Temporary staff are paid weekly or monthly by us and receive all the legislated benefits such as paid leave and paid public holidays.

The client only pays for hours worked as reflected on signed and authorised weekly timesheets.

JOE WHITE

DIRECTOR

I am a social entrepreneur, and I discovered my passion when I moved to South Africa from California, USA in 1996. This passion has led me to establish 9 organizations, most of which exist today. These organizations include Catalyx (design and management of social impact projects), World Changers Academy (leadership, life skills training, job placement) and VukAfrica Tours (cultural tourism) and others.

 

I sincerely believe in mentoring people to help them reach their full potential and as such I have supported many budding entrepreneurs. I am passionate about community and my work premises on finding solutions to combat social challenges such as unemployment and enterprise development.
