Core offering

RecruitMyMom is a specialist South African talent company providing flexible hiring solutions across permanent placements, fixed-term contracts, independent contractors, virtual assistants, and fractional/full-time executive search. The company also acts as an Employer of Record (EOR) for international businesses seeking to hire South African talent compliantly without setting up a local entity, handling payroll, tax, employment contracts, and HR administration on their behalf. Ancillary offerings include affordable verification and background checks as well as psychometric and skills testing for pre-screening.

Product overview

RecruitMyMom is a specialist South African recruitment agency offering a portfolio of flexible hiring solutions delivered as distinct service lines rather than a unified software platform. The core offerings span: Permanent and Fixed Duration Hires (traditional perm/contract recruitment), Independent Contractors and Freelancers (project-based and gig staffing), Virtual Assistants (pre-vetted remote admin and professional support), Executive Search (fractional and permanent C-suite placements), and Employer of Record (EOR) for compliant international hiring. Ancillary services include Verification & Background Checks and Psychometric & Skills Tests. A sub-brand, RAG Talent, operates as a separate division. All services are backed by a 3-month placement warranty and include managed payroll, timesheet administration, and invoicing for contractor engagements. The company targets both South African local employers and global companies seeking cost-effective South African remote talent.
