National/International companies often think that they have to source specialists from all around South Africa and in fact the world, whereas a number of skilled and qualified candidates/trainers are situated right here in the heart of the Garden Route, just waiting for their niche career to become available.

In January and February 2003 our local department of labour paid out UIF benefits to 5669 people. They have since received 978 new applications within the George area. This however is not a true refelction of unemployment as some people do not even register for benefits.

From the above statistics one can see that we do not have a labour shortage, but the most effective way of sourcing candidates is for clients to approach our dynamic (IPSC accredited) team and let us do what we're best at - that is "scooping out the gems of various industries giving you the best available candidates/trainers". By delegating your staffing needs to us, we can save you both time and money with our efficiency and experience.

Our most sought after candidates at this point in time are those top caliber ones with unblemished records, who are fully qualified and/or experienced: *Chefs and hospitality industry staff up to and including 5 star. *Motor industry staff (branch managers, sales people, service advisors, petrol and diesel mechanics, and other specialist motor industry people). *Office automation sales reps and technicians. *Nurses. *Code B security *Hairdressers *Beauty therapists, *Production staff (Millwrights, Boilermakers and other specialists), * Conveyancing secretaries,* AA retail management, *Sales Reps - especially FMCG.

Because a large percentage of companies based in our area are smaller branches or privately owned, employers seem to prefer a multi-skilled candidate, for example a PA or Secretary who has Pastel accounting qualifications or whose experience is more marketable.

So often we are approached by large recruitment/training organisations to assist them with working on positions in our area - because we are where it all happens. We join forces with a company outside of the Garden Route to fulfill the client's needs. This results in our area is not getting the total benefit of the income derived from that placement. So let's work together and support the motto "buying local is best," for the economy of the Garden Route.
