Complete Job Search System – South Africa Edition

Run a focused South African job search with a written process

A South African job search usually spans several job portals, recruitment agencies and direct applications. Keeping track of which agency submitted you where, and when to follow up, is often harder than writing the CV itself.

Does it cover applications made through recruiters?
Yes. The tracker has space to record which agency or portal an application came through, so duplicate submissions are easy to spot.
