Human Resources Outsourcing Solutions

Recruitment and selection as well as talent management in any organisation must be carefully managed to ensure optimal utilization of a company’s financial and human resources. The greatest asset in any organisation is its human resources and without proper measures being put in place right from the outset of the recruitment processes it could result in an absolute waste of valuable time, money and a great deal of in-convience. Therefore, our company prides itself in recruitment across the board in all spheres of employment of permanent, temporary and contractual placements.

Permanent Placements

Our intense recruitment and selection process ensures that all measures are taken by conducting in dept interviews, reference checks, credit checks, criminal record checks and a skills analysis to ensure that the most suitable candidates c.v’s are forwarded to our client for consideration of employment.

In addition, a great deal of time and effort is put into defining our candidate’s character sketch to ensure that their competencies and personalities best compliment their potential working environment therefore ensuring optimum productivity.

We are a private owned employment agency, a “Head Office” does not govern us and hence we accommodate our clients by defining our fee in accordance with their budget.

Temporary and Contractual Placements

We are a legitimate operation registered with the relevant governing bodies and conduct our business with sound principles, ethics and business morale. Being compliant in the required fields ensures our obligations of payment and deductions of PAYE, UIF, and WCA etc and in the production of reports thereof.
