South African Recruitment for Remote Employees

Alongside our UK recruitment services, we also offer access to highly skilled South African professionals.

This is a practical option for businesses that need extra support but are working within tighter budgets. You still get capable, experienced employees, just in a more cost-effective way, for roles that can be done remotely.

When does this work well?

This option tends to suit businesses open to remote working in roles such as:

  • Administrative and support roles
  • Finance and accounts support
  • Marketing and back-office functions.
  • Sales, account management, and telemarketing

If the role doesn’t need someone physically in the office, it’s often worth considering.

What you can expect

We follow a very similar process to our UK recruitment:

  • Candidates are screened and interviewed
  • Skills and experience are carefully assessed
  • We look at communication, reliability, and fit.

The difference is simply location, not quality. Once you’ve selected your candidate, our trusted South African Employer of Record partner, DNA EOR, takes care of everything on the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the role, but we aim to move quickly without compromising on quality. You’ll receive an update within 48 hours of briefing us, and we’ll start introducing suitable candidates as soon as they’re properly screened and ready. We’d rather send high quality candidates than suggest individuals who won’t be a good fit for your organisation.
We focus on quality over quantity. Most of the time, 8 out of 10 CVs on the market won’t be right. We filter those out and send you a carefully selected shortlist of candidates who match your brief.
Yes, every single candidate we put forward has been spoken to and interviewed, either face-to-face or via Teams/Zoom. We assess both their experience and whether they’ll be a good fit for your team.
We don’t rely on CVs alone. Every candidate we recommend has been interviewed so we can properly understand their experience, communication style, and what they’re looking for. We also use a testing suite where appropriate to assess practical skills. Alongside this, we look at things like attitude, reliability, and whether they’ll fit into your existing team.
We work on a ‘no placement, no fee’ basis. You only pay when you successfully hire a candidate through us. We’ll always be clear on fees upfront so please get in touch if you have a role you need to fill.
Yes. We offer a rebate structure, giving you peace of mind if things don’t go as planned. We’ll talk you through this at the start.
Absolutely. We regularly advise clients on job descriptions and what the market looks like in terms of expected salary and benefits. It’s all part of making sure you attract the right people for your business.
We recruit across finance, legal, marketing, administration and IT, covering permanent, temporary and contract roles.
Our sweet spot is SMEs, typically businesses with 50–200 employees. We work closely with directors, business owners and hiring managers who need recruitment handled properly and efficiently.
Yes, and that’s often when clients come to us. Whether it’s a lack of suitable candidates, too many irrelevant applications, or a previous bad experience, we’ll take the time to understand what hasn’t worked and approach it differently.
Yes, we can also support with South African talent, offering a more cost-effective option for certain roles, where remote working is suitable.
Yes. You’ll have a dedicated consultant, supported by the wider team. We also make sure more than one person is briefed on your role, so there’s always someone available to help.
We handle the heavy lifting, including searching, screening and shortlisting, but we’ll keep you updated and involved at the right points, especially around interviews and final decisions.
