Sourcing & Onboarding
Find and onboard the right South African talent, fast.
EMPLOI runs structured sourcing and screening across SA, then handles compliant contracts, background checks, equipment, and a week-one experience that turns hires into productive teammates.
How it works
From role kickoff to a productive hire in weeks, not months.
Intake & scorecard
We turn your role into a structured scorecard — must-haves, nice-to-haves, salary band, seniority, and team fit — so every candidate is measured against the same bar.
Sourcing across SA
We tap our talent pool and active outbound channels across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, and Pretoria to reach candidates other agencies never see.
Screening & shortlist
Recruiter screens, technical assessments where relevant, and video intros. You receive a 3–5 person shortlist with notes, not a resume dump.
Offer & onboarding
We manage the offer, background checks, compliant contract, equipment, and a structured week-one plan so your hire is productive from day five.
What's included
A full-stack talent function, without the agency markup.
You get the sourcing, screening, and onboarding depth of a mature internal team — bundled into your EMPLOI engagement.
Role scoping & benchmarking
We calibrate title, salary, and expectations to the SA market so you attract the right shortlist without overpaying or underscoping.
Talent pool + outbound
Curated pipeline of pre-vetted engineers, finance, CX, sales, and ops talent, backed by targeted outbound for hard-to-fill roles.
Structured screening
Recruiter interview, competency questions, and role-specific assessments (technical, written, role-play) with written notes on every candidate.
Background & reference checks
ID, criminal, credit (where relevant), qualification verification, and two reference calls — all POPIA-compliant.
Offer & compliant contract
SA-law employment contract with IP assignment, confidentiality, and probation terms, signed digitally and issued in your brand.
Equipment & access
Laptop procurement, secure device setup, SSO/tool access provisioning, and a week-one checklist so nothing gets forgotten.
