To contract or not to contract

Over the last half a decade, work structures have drastically changed and expanded beyond the traditional nine-to-five, five-day-a-week job. Though full-time, permanent work still exists, the parameters and expectations of permanent positions have taken a drastic turn towards greater flexibility in hours and location. Similarly, the turn of the century has seen a rise in the prevalence of contract work.

Things to look out for when using a recruitment agency in South Africa

In South Africa, both as a job-seeker and a potential employee, it can be challenging to know precisely what you should look out for when working with a recruitment agency. With our growing economy, there are so many people advertising and seeking jobs that it can become challenging to differentiate the genuine opportunities and candidates from those who aren’t. 
To find the right job or the right candidate for your vacancy, it’s tempting to turn to a recruitment agency to filter the process. Even so, with the sheer number of recruitment agencies popping up, it’s necessary to question their legitimacy. You may find yourself asking the question, “How do I know if a recruitment agency is legitimate?” Or even, “As a business owner, what should I expect from a recruitment agency?”. Having a little more knowledge about recruitment agencies and how to find one that will genuinely help you as a job seeker or employer.

October marks Black History Month in the UK, the Netherlands, and Ireland (USA and Canada observe Black History Month in February).   In the UK, the month was founded in 1987 to recognise and celebrate the contributions and achievements that Black people have contributed to society in art, music, science and lots more over many generations.  However, due to racial injustice these achievements are often missed out of history books or brushed over in school lessons. Black History Month…
