The Cost of Bad Hires
CVs miss real skills, agencies are expensive, and hiring takes too long.
A bad hire costs more than the salary
Estimates of a bad hire's cost range from about a quarter of a year's salary to more than a full year's salary, depending on the role.
Hiring takes weeks
Hiring takes about 7 weeks on average, and 10 to 13 weeks for specialist roles.
Industry estimates: Wamly, Procompare
Agencies charge 15% to 25%
Agencies typically charge 15% to 25% of first-year salary. On a R300,000 role, 15% is R45,000.

How SkillRise Works for Employers
Three steps from role to shortlist. You stay in charge of interviews, references and the final decision.
Post the skills you need
Describe the role by skills, not just a job title: required competencies, experience levels and nice-to-haves.
Candidates answer by voice
Candidates answer your role by voice. AI builds a SkillScore for each applicant. You review a ranked shortlist.
Review and interview
Listen to their voice profiles and check the verified skills. Then you interview the people you choose and make the offer.
Prefer it handled? Managed Hire delivers the shortlist for you.
