Terrencepaul Associates

TerrencePaul & Associates is a specialist recruitment organisation with a key focus on the engineering, supply chain and logistics sectors. It is a team of specialist consultants with a solid background in engineering and sound technical knowledge, and it works through a tailored, consultative approach that it uses to forge long term relationships. The company carries out extensive research so that its market knowledge stays current within its areas of specialisation, and it describes its market coverage as placing it well to meet the needs of clients and candidates alike.

Its stated speciality covers engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain and logistics. The client base runs from heavy industry to manufacturing companies, FMCG businesses and JSE listed enterprises, on both permanent and contract placements. Services include strategic talent sourcing, head hunting, talent management, executive search, background screening, candidate interview preparation and onboarding. The company holds that sourcing quality candidates, and employment equity candidates in particular, is the biggest challenge in the recruitment market today, and it positions its vertical market approach and the superior market knowledge that follows from it as the main difference between itself and its competitors.

The head office is at 398 Mackenzie Street in Brooklyn, Pretoria. What the company calls the TerrencePaul way is set out as a list of commitments: a consultative approach to the recruitment process, clear timescales from initial interview to offer, relevant CVs for particular positions, honest and comprehensive feedback at every stage of sourcing, candidate sole agency, client preferred supplier status, an excellent network within its vertical markets and active client relationship management. Diversity, equity and inclusion has a section of its own, in which the company says it will support employers at every stage of hiring and help build a talent strategy that moves them closer to their diverse and inclusive workforce objectives.
