Do you pay a recruitment agency in South Africa?
Many job seekers mistakenly think that they need to pay an employment agency to find them work.
While this might be the case with the extreme minority of agencies, reputable employment agencies in South Africa generally don’t ask for any fees from their jobseeker candidates.
How do I know if a recruitment agency is legit in South Africa?
Legitimate recruitment agencies make money through successful job placement, not through charging a fee to sign up job seekers.
If the agency tries to make you pay to sign up, they don’t have the motivation to place you in a job. You should find another recruitment company.
Who regulates the recruitment industry in South Africa?
the Department of Labour
Anyone recruiting and placing work seekers into employment is required by law to register with the Department of Labour.
