Connecting engineering and supply chain talent with companies focused on driving growth

The right people change everything

We help engineering and supply chain businesses grow by placing people who don’t just fill roles, they strengthen teams, improve performance, and build long-term value.

For companies, that means confidence in your people.
For candidates, it means careers with momentum.

Permanent and contract recruitment across engineering and supply chain, delivered with care, insight, and intent.

Based in Durban, we service clients nationwide.

Recruitment that supports growth for people and businesses

We focus on business-critical roles where the right appointment can shift outcomes. Our approach is targeted, considered, and built on relationships, not volume.

What that looks like in practice:

Understanding the role and the environment it sits in
Matching skills, mindset, and culture, not just CVs
Building placements designed to last
Recruitment is the service.

Transformation, performance, and growth are the result.
