Global hiring works best when local expertise meets international reach.
That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with 2i Recruit, a UK-based recruitment company helping businesses build high-performing remote teams with South African talent.
As part of the partnership, DNA EOR has been named 2i Recruit’s preferred Employer of Record partner in South Africa, supporting UK businesses with compliant employment, payroll, onboarding, and local labour expertise.
At the same time, we’re proud to feature 2i Recruit as a trusted recruitment partner for companies looking to source exceptional South African professionals.

Why This Partnership Matters
South Africa continues to grow as a destination for global hiring.
UK businesses are increasingly looking toward South African professionals for customer support, operations, finance, tech, recruitment, marketing, and remote leadership roles. The talent is strong, the cultural alignment works, and the time zone overlap makes
collaboration easier.
However, hiring internationally requires more than finding the right candidate.
It requires:
- Local compliance
- Payroll management
- Employment contracts aligned to South African labour law
- Risk management
- A strong employee experience
This is where DNA EOR comes in.
“We’re seeing more UK companies looking at South Africa as a serious long-term talent market, not just a cost-saving exercise,” says Anton van Heerden, CEO at DNA EOR.
“2i Recruit understands the value South African professionals bring to global businesses. This partnership allows companies to move faster while still getting the local compliance and employment structure right from day one.”
“We wanted a trusted South African partner who understands both the legal side of employment and the importance of creating a positive experience for remote employees,” says Jenny Jameson, Director at 2i Recruit.
“DNA EOR stood out because of their hands-on approach, local expertise, and understanding of what international businesses actually need when hiring in South Africa.”
