Why it works

Recruitment the way it should have always worked.

Four reasons companies switch from agencies to Hired, and don't go back.

  • 01
    No middleman

    No agencies. No back-and-forth. No commission.

    Traditional recruitment adds weeks of friction and a 15-25% fee on top. Hired removes the middleman entirely. You deal directly with candidates who are ready to move.

  • 02
    Pre-screened

    Candidates for your exact role, ready now.

    Every candidate in our database has been verified, assessed, and has explicitly signalled they are open to work. No cold outreach. No chasing ghosts.

  • 03
    R997 per role

    Flat fee. 30 days. No hidden costs.

    One flat fee. Full access to matched candidates for 30 days. Unlimited contact attempts. No commission on hire. No retainer. Cancel if you fill it early.

  • 04
    Always fresh

    Continuously screened and kept current.

    Our candidate pool is refreshed weekly. Outdated profiles are flagged and removed. You only see people who are actively available and qualified.

The quality of candidates was genuinely impressive. Not the usual spray-and-pray.

R997 for a placement we'd have paid R80k in agency fees for. No-brainer.
