Stratsource

Stratsource Recruitment is a South African recruitment agency specialising in executive search and selection across mining, metals, and heavy engineering industries. Founded by Hanna Prinsloo with 20 years of recruitment experience and 11 years specifically focused on senior and executive roles in the mining and heavy engineering space, the company operates with a unique seven-step Top Talent System designed to revolutionise recruitment practices within the industry.

The company recruits top talent across engineering, finance, operations, supply chain, SHEQ (safety, health, environment, quality), legal, company secretarial, human resources, corporate affairs, investor relations, and other functions essential to mining operations. Rather than viewing recruitment as matching isolated skillsets, Stratsource takes a strategic view that considers the interdependencies between various departments and functions within client organisations.

Stratsource has demonstrated remarkable success with long-term clients, including one major mining company with a 94 percent retention rate of all placed candidates over their decade-long partnership. Notably, 40 percent of placements with this client were women in mining roles, supporting transformation initiatives that have gained international recognition. The company's approach aims to de-risk hiring decisions and attract the top 10 percent of passive candidates in the market.
