Our History

Candidate Connect is a Cape Town based recruitment consultancy. Started in 2000, with the core objective (at the time) of bringing South Africans home from abroad. The initial concept was to channel these candidates into SA recruitment agencies who we felt were best positioned to meet their career aspirations.

This concept evolved rapidly when we saw our star candidates were not being channeled through to clients as seemlessly as we had hoped by our affiliate agencies. So in 2001, Candidate Connect evolved into a full service recruitment consultancy working directly with clients, primarily in the Cape Town market. Throughout this transition, our goal remained constant – to link high calibre candidates to the right company, at the right time, for the right job. And that remains our core focus today as we strive to integrate candidates career aspirations with their passions, right here in Cape Town !

We are celebrating our 9th birthday in 2009. As with many 9 year olds, we have heaps of energy, we are willing to explore better and different ways of doing things. We thank our clients and candidates for all the support over the years, and we remain deeply committed to keeping the personal touch that has got us to where we are today. Offering a personal touch remains core to our philosophy going forward.

And that’s our history so far…
