In a brainstorming session at the office, the idea hit us…

It started like most good ideas do—in a team meeting with someone asking: “Is it just me or is there a gap in the market?”

We’d seen it firsthand—South Africans are smart, driven, English-speaking professionals delivering world-class work at great rates. So we launched The Hiring Guys to connect that talent with the world.
