We employ your staff, so you don't have to
We are the legal employer of the staff we place, for payroll purposes, in an employer-of-record style arrangement. Your new team member works for you day to day, while we take care of South African payroll and employment administration.
That means you don't need a South African company or entity to hire through us.
