Step 01Discovery
We map the role, the desk, and what success looks like.
South African talent for recruitment agencies
Build your desk with South African talent.
English-native recruiters, SDRs, and resourcers. Timezone-aligned. Ready to bill.
Our Approach
Recruitment, staffed differently.
Scale your desk without bloating your overhead. We embed vetted South African recruiters into your team, ramped in weeks, not months.
The Problem
Hiring is broken in more ways than one.
Six reasons agency owners call us.
01
Recruiter churn is constant
You hire, train, lose, repeat.
Our 12-month retention: 92%.
02
Cost-per-desk keeps climbing
Local salaries and overheads make every desk harder to justify.
Typical desk cost cut by 55-65%.
03
You're hiring instead of billing
Time spent recruiting is time you're not spending on clients.
Shortlist in 10 working days.
04
New hires take months to ramp
By the time juniors are productive, the role has moved on.
Average ramp to billing: 3 weeks.
05
Scaling means more overhead
Growth shouldn't mean a bigger lease and heavier payroll.
Fully remote, zero overhead.
06
SA talent is hard to access
Sourcing remotely without local networks is slow and noisy.
80% of our hires never hit a job board.
The Process
Four steps, roughly three weeks.
First shortlist within 10 working days.
Step 01
Step 02Sourcing
We tap our private SA network. Most hires never hit a job board.
Step 03Shortlist
You meet 3-5 vetted candidates with intro Looms and our notes.
Step 04Placement
We handle contracting and onboarding. We replace if it doesn't stick.

Why South Africa
The most underrated recruitment market in the world.
01
English-native professionals
No accent friction. Clients won't know the difference.
02
UK & EU timezone overlap
One to two hours ahead of London. Solid overlap with US East.
03
Strong recruitment culture
Cape Town and Joburg are mature markets. Recruiters here are KPI-literate and trained for international clients.
04
Scale affordably
Senior craft at a sustainable cost per desk. Smart scaling, not cheap labour.
