What companies in this industry say about working with us
"Finding good people takes time, and it is great if you can rely on a partner that saves you those efforts."
At ETG we have worked various times with Jobnet, and their customized searching process always helped us to find good candidates. I think every company has experienced the painful situation of spending 3 months to search for a proper candidate and then ending-up without a good match, our collaboration with Jobnet made sure to avoid such situations and loss of efforts.

"JobnetAfrica really maintained that quality"
I think whenever I evaluate any partner who is working with us, I think there are four things that I majorly focus on as a TA manager. One is the Return on the investment we are doing in terms of finding the right talent at the right time, at the right pricing….. So, the way I think JobnetAfrica is meeting the timelines is appreciable. Then the quality of work was there, and quality is something I really focus on and really matters to me with the kind of talent that we are acquiring. So, I think JobnetAfrica really maintained that quality and really understood what we were looking for.

"The team manages expectations very well"
We knew the job search would be a challenge. Inari and Inez guided us through their recruitment process and showed us exactly what was, and what was not available in the market, within our set budget. With expectations being managed throughout the process, we managed to find the most suitable candidate for the job. Based on the success we have had, we would like to recommend JobnetAfrica to any company looking for skilled professionals in Africa.

"The relationship was great"
To be frank, recruiters are sometimes annoying. They want to sell as quickly as possible and you don’t know what you are going to get. Some recruiters just shoot at everybody to find candidates, JobnetAfrica already has a good network. That is a big addition and other benefits are having a good relationship with the team and being able to communicate well.
