How it works

1

Post the skills you need.

Describe the role by skills, not just a job title: required competencies, experience levels and nice-to-haves. Prefer it handled? Managed Hire sets the role up for you.

2

Candidates upload their documents and record a voice intro.

AI extracts their skills and calculates a SkillScore for each one.

3

Review a ranked shortlist.

Listen to their voice profiles and check the verified skills. Then you review and interview the people you choose.

SkillRise does the screening. You stay in charge of interviews, references and the final decision.

Pay once, or pay monthly. No per-hire fees.

Prices are in rand and shown in full. No placement fee when you hire.

You hear the person, not just read the CV

Every candidate records a voice intro and uploads their documents. You hear how they communicate before you spend an hour on an interview.

A bad hire is expensive

On a R800,000 a year role that fails after six months, one published model puts the total cost near R573,000. Your number will differ.
