How it works for talent
Every role we recruit for is a full-time position with one company. Here's each stage after you apply, and what we ask of you along the way.
Your application stays with us. Recruiters search it whenever a new role opens, so you don't need to watch for vacancies or reapply for each one.
We only reach out when there's a real position that fits. The call covers the job, the company's industry, the working hours and the overlap with their time zone, so you can decide whether it's worth pursuing.
Each role has its own task, drawn from the company's brief. A support candidate might answer real-style tickets; a developer might review or extend some code. It's practical work that resembles the job, and you'll know the format before you start.
These checks run for every role, before a company sees your name.
Shortlisted candidates meet the hiring manager. The company makes the decision, and we pass on feedback either way.
Before you interview, we explain how the position is set up: if your contract is with JiveTalent or with the company directly. After the start, we stay in touch to see how things are going.
You join one company's team: their tools, their meetings and their goals. The hours are agreed before you interview and include a set overlap with the company's day. Some roles are built around evening or weekend schedules, and those are full-time too.
Most of our searches start in South Africa, and we look further afield if a particular role needs it. See Locations for more.
It varies by role. Once a company is interviewing, things tend to move within a few weeks.
Your application stays active, and we contact you about the next role that fits.
A reliable computer and internet connection, a quiet place to work, and the hours agreed for the role.
