Lla Recruitment

LLA Recruitment is a South African recruitment agency that places candidates in three focus fields: legal, logistics and accounting. The company says that concentrating on those fields lets it become expert in job specification, narrow down the pool of candidates and screen much faster than generalist recruitment firms. LLA Recruitment prefers video interviews, which it says give it the opportunity to assess body language and physical characteristics and to simulate a face to face interview, and it uses customised questionnaires to screen more thoroughly within each job specification. Every candidate CV is converted onto a simple executive summary template that is easy to read and quick to evaluate, with no long winded paragraphs or unnecessary information. Recruitment fees are tailor made not only per client but per vacancy, because every job carries a different level of importance and urgency, and the terms and conditions include a replacement guarantee that the company says insures satisfaction.

Legal is the first focus field, covering attorneys, legal secretaries, legal advisers, candidate attorneys, paralegals, analysts, conveyancers, receptionists and directors. The logistics practice places administrative staff, controllers, coordinators, managers and directors across import, export, distribution, FMCG, project logistics and warehousing. Accounting placements run from bookkeepers, debtors and creditors clerks through to accountants, chartered accountants, payroll administrators and financial directors. The company also publishes links to South African legal, logistics, accounting and labour market news covering the same three fields.

LLA Recruitment subscribes to multiple large databases of active job seekers, which it describes as only the first level of recruitment, and keeps a closer network of first time job seekers coming out of tertiary institutions, maintaining a personal connection with the most promising candidates and sometimes even looking for vacancies for the rarest candidates. It does not conduct external evaluations itself, but recommends the most affordable and most effective providers, both physical and online. Clients are always asked what level of discretion they prefer when a vacancy is advertised, because making certain vacancies public can influence profits, share prices and public relations or expose vulnerabilities, which the company says applies especially to public companies, government and high level executive vacancies. Since South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act took effect on 1 July 2020, with enforcement from 1 July 2021, LLA Recruitment has implemented stricter protocols to protect client and candidate information. Vacancies are published through its social media channels, and the company can be reached on (010) 312 6141 or at [email protected].
