NDC Personnel and Contractors

What NDC Personnel and Contractors does

NDC Personnel and Contractors is a privately held South African recruitment agency founded around 2001 and headquartered at 49 Darwin Road, Windsor Park, Cape Town, with a secondary office in Centurion (Gauteng). The firm operates on a professional-services, contingency-based model, earning fees on successful permanent placements and offering a 9-month replacement guarantee that exceeds typical industry terms. Its client base is described as a large Southern African enterprise audience concentrated in engineering, FMCG, construction, food & beverage, and production, with additional verticals in maritime/crewing, SHERQ, HR and training, and warehousing and logistics.

The company's core product is full-lifecycle permanent-placement recruitment: sourcing, interview arrangement, verification checks, aptitude and psychometric assessment, and CV optimisation. The underlying technology stack is modest — a WordPress-based website with job application portals, cookies, and standard web analytics — with no proprietary platform or AI components disclosed. Adjacent service lines (Verification Checks, Aptitude Testing, Psychometric Assessments, and a Charter/transport service) function as either add-on modules for clients or standalone offerings to candidates and corporates. Distribution is sales-led via trained consultants operating directly with enterprise clients, supported by a 9,000-follower LinkedIn presence and 3,000-follower Facebook page as top-of-funnel channels.

The business is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and it is POPIA-compliant in its handling of candidate data. Day-to-day operations are run by Managing Member Jannie Stassen with an eight-person named team of consultants and support staff, consistent with a small specialist agency rather than a scaled recruitment platform.
