Eastern Personnel Consultants

Eastern Personnel Consultants is a recruitment agency established in 1990 that describes itself as the link between the job seeker and the employer. The agency says it has honed its expertise in matching the right candidates with the right positions, and it aims to deliver a match of personality, knowledge and experience for every role it works on. Its service is built around simplifying recruitment for clients: the team compiles a shortlist of suitable candidates against specific criteria, submits detailed CVs and arranges interviews within a suitable timeframe. Placement fees are described as competitive and deliberately accessible to corporate clients and smaller companies alike.

The agency does not restrict itself to a single discipline and states that it has successfully placed individuals in various sectors and at various levels. Alongside client work it runs a candidate side of the business: a live vacancies board, a CV registration facility so job seekers can join the database, and a set of published interview tips covering research and preparation before the interview, punctuality and active listening during it, and how to answer common questions such as strengths and weaknesses or where a candidate sees themselves in five years. The stated vision is to work in partnership with clients and candidates, maintain integrity and honesty, continuously develop professional skills and knowledge, and care about the end result.

Eastern Personnel Consultants operates from Newlands in Pretoria-East, Gauteng, and its office hours are Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 16:30. Enquiries are handled by named consultants, with Paul and Liandie each listed with their own email, telephone and WhatsApp contact details, and the agency is also reachable through its general enquiries address, LinkedIn page and Facebook page. Clients choose the agency for a proven track record and high success rate, which it says has produced a reputation for excellence and a significant number of referrals from satisfied clients and candidates.
