How quickly can you fill a vacancy?

For most roles we present an initial shortlist within 5–10 business days. Urgent requirements can often be turned around faster. Remote and contract roles typically move quickest, while senior executive searches take a little longer to ensure the right fit.

How do remote South African placements work?

South Africa is just one to two hours ahead of the UK year-round, so real-time collaboration is entirely seamless. All our remote candidates are English first-language professionals, fully equipment-ready, and experienced working within UK business culture.

What is the cost saving on remote staffing?

UK businesses typically save between 40% and 60% on equivalent salary costs by hiring remote South African professionals, due to the difference in market salary rates between the two countries.

Do you work with small businesses or only large companies?

We work with businesses of all sizes, from growing SMEs making their first hire to established companies scaling entire departments.

Is there a fee to register as a candidate?

No. Our recruitment services are completely free for candidates. We are paid by the employer upon a successful placement. There are no fees, subscriptions or hidden charges at any stage of the process for job seekers.

The right people. The right roles.
