Peoplesource Recruitment Specialists

PeopleSource, which trades under the line Recruitment Specialists, describes itself as a proudly South African, niche-focused, boutique recruitment firm. It says it acts as a catalyst in providing leading firms and candidates with proven professional expertise in addressing specialist employment needs. Its consultants are specialist recruiters who each work in one or more of the firm's key areas, and the firm argues that their extensive track record is what allows it to offer clients both market knowledge and technical experience, so that career and candidate are matched properly rather than approximately.

PeopleSource differentiates itself by focusing on four key areas: mobile telecommunications, business and finance, engineering, and information technology. It notes that South Africa and the rest of the world continue to struggle with the skill and talent mismatch in exactly these difficult areas, and says it is proud that its candidates and clients return to it repeatedly. In many cases, it adds, its candidates go on to become its clients, asking the firm to help them grow and expand their own teams once they are in a position to hire.

The firm works with corporate employers across South Africa and sets out plainly what each side can expect. Candidates can expect full confidentiality and protection from risk in their current positions, together with a choice of opportunities and expert guidance so that they make the right career decisions. Corporates can expect a select choice of top talent, thoroughly screened for the right fit in skills, culture and values. Both can expect an ethical approach and a professional service delivered with a passion for getting it right. Companies submit their job specifications through the site, candidates search current jobs there, and the firm publishes a single switchboard number, 011 706 9118, alongside pages for its team, for companies and for candidates.
