RECRUITMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA
A vacancy is a business decision.
A new appointment might give a growing team capacity, bring specialist knowledge into a project or restore continuity when someone leaves. The starting point is the work you need done and the contribution the new person should make. Epitome People Placements helps employers turn that context into a recruitment brief.
Our specialisms cover technology, finance, engineering, business support, sales and operations. We are based in Bryanston, Johannesburg, and part of Mint Group. Tell us where your team works, how the role fits into the business and what needs to happen next.
Get to know EpitomeWhen your team is growing
Identify the capability or capacity the appointment should add. Explain who owns the work today and what will change when someone joins. A clear distinction between essential experience and skills that can be developed helps focus the search.
When a role needs replacing
Review the responsibilities before reusing the previous job description. Systems, priorities and team structures may have changed. Agree the work that must continue, any improvements needed and the handover available.
When the need has a defined end
For a project or period of cover, specify the scope, expected duration and reporting line. We can discuss contract or temporary recruitment alongside permanent options, with the responsibilities and terms agreed before an assignment proceeds.
