Frequently asked questions
We provide permanent recruitment and executive search, temporary and contract staffing, payroll administration (PAYE, UIF, SDL and COIDA), and Employer of Record (EOR) services for companies without a registered South African entity. Our PULSE platform is used across all four to speed up sourcing and shortlisting.
We act as Employer of Record: we hold the local employment contract, run payroll, and handle statutory registrations and submissions (PAYE, UIF, SDL, COIDA) on your behalf. That means you can hire South African staff and be operational without registering a local entity or navigating SA labour law directly.
Timelines depend on the seniority and specialism of the role. Because PULSE searches both active and passive candidates, we're typically able to put a shortlist in front of you faster than a manual search alone — send us your role brief and we'll give you a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
PULSE is our proprietary AI-driven sourcing and matching platform. It searches active and passive candidates, screens them against the role's requirements, and ranks them on skills and cultural fit — so you receive a shortlist of qualified candidates instead of hundreds of unfiltered CVs to sort through yourself.
We recruit and manage staff across technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing and professional services, and take on new sectors as clients need them. PULSE adapts its sourcing criteria to each role's specific skill set rather than being limited to a fixed industry list.
An EOR is a third party that becomes the legal employer of your staff in South Africa — issuing contracts, running payroll and meeting statutory obligations — while you keep day-to-day control of their work. It removes the cost and delay of registering a local entity and the ongoing compliance burden of South African labour law.
As experts in local labour laws, we ensure that all employment contracts, payroll processes, and HR activities comply with South African regulations — covering PAYE, UIF, SDL, COIDA, CCMA-aligned processes, and B-BBEE considerations. This guarantees risk-free operations for our clients.
Absolutely. Using PULSE, we identify both active and passive candidates for niche roles. Our AI system ensures we deliver the right talent, whether for local or international companies.
PULSE uses AI-powered tools to personalise interactions, automate communication, and provide real-time updates to both clients and candidates. This ensures a seamless and transparent recruitment process.
Unlike agencies using outdated methods, we leverage cutting-edge technology with PULSE. We also combine recruitment, payroll and Employer of Record services under one accountable partner, so international companies especially get one point of contact instead of coordinating a local recruiter, a payroll provider and legal counsel separately.
