60 Degrees

60 Degrees is a specialist technology recruitment business born in South Africa and grounded in decades of experience serving one of the most dynamic markets on the continent. Its positioning is that it does not just find tech talent, it builds businesses, and its method is human focused and technology enabled. AI is built into the workflow for faster talent mapping and sharper insights, not to replace recruiters but to empower them, while the team's judgement, care and understanding decide whether a hire is the right fit. The company sums that balance up as human focus, tech enhanced.

The firm recruits across the technology sector and brings global hiring expertise in technology and AI to the local market. Its contingent service delivers urgent developer, cloud and data roles as well as full AI and blockchain teams. Its contractor service places experienced technology contractors across development, ERP and AI for projects that need specialist skills and immediate impact, with flexibility, speed and cost-effectiveness at the core. Its executive search practice identifies and attracts senior technology leaders and handles confidential searches, working through tailored research and close collaboration.

60 Degrees operates from 1 Bompas Road, Dunkeld West, Johannesburg, and combines that local insight with global reach so that startups and enterprises can find developers, engineers and digital specialists. It points to the pressures of a talent-short technology market, where competition for skilled people is relentless, niche expertise is hard to find and the cost of a bad hire is high, as the reason clients bring it in. The team is organised into contingent, contract and executive search leads with talent partners alongside them, and diversity accreditations are part of how it engages communities other firms have given up on. It runs a referral programme, publishes a monthly newsletter called The Interface, and takes enquiries at [email protected] or +27 (0) 12 141 4805.
