The Source International · South Africa & Europe
We source hard-to-find talent for European and South African employers.
Ten years of recruitment across South Africa and Europe. A high-touch, quality-first approach to finding the people your competitors can't.
We don't run volume. We don't work on every role that comes in. We work selectively — on the searches where we can genuinely add value — and we put the same depth of effort into every one.
You get one point of contact from brief to placement. The person who takes your brief is the person doing the search. No handoffs, no broken telephone, no junior sourcer handling the role you briefed to a senior.
And because we're not chasing a commission on every role in our pipeline, we're free to be honest with you — about the market, the brief, and what's realistic.
These are the situations we hear most often from clients before they work with us.
The process is straightforward by design. You know the fee before we start. There are no hidden costs, no mid-search renegotiations, and no percentage waiting at the end.
Share the brief — the role, the team, the context, and what success actually looks like. We'll ask the questions that matter.
We assess the complexity, the market conditions, and the work involved — then propose a transparent flat fee. Agreed before we start. No percentage. No surprises.
LinkedIn, job boards, social media, community groups, direct networks and more. Sourcing across all channels — presenting only people who are genuinely aligned to your brief.
A focused shortlist of properly briefed, genuinely aligned candidates. You make the decision. The fee doesn't change based on who you choose.
We work across industries and company stages. Whether you're making your first hires or running a confidential senior search inside an established organisation — our process is the same. We search what you need, across whichever vertical you're in.
These are the disciplines we most commonly work across. If yours isn't listed, it doesn't mean we can't help — get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Ten years of recruitment across South Africa, the UK and Europe. A BA in Industrial and Organisational Psychology. A deep belief that the right hire is never just a CV match — it's someone aligned in values, motivation and timing. We are intentionally structured to give each search the depth it deserves.
We take the time to understand your business, your team, and what the role actually demands — because that's what allows us to present people who truly align. Not just on paper. In mindset and ambition.
LinkedIn is a starting point. We go further — into communities, social platforms, direct networks and passive talent pools. We treat every search like detective work, following every lead until we find the right person.
We don't just approach talent — we engage them. We bring your business to life through storytelling, creating a narrative that makes the right people want to join before they've even met you.
We aim for the top tier and explore every avenue. This depth is only possible because we are structured to give each search the time and attention it deserves — not split across a pipeline of contingent roles we're hoping will close.
The most common questions — answered honestly.
Share the brief and we'll come back with a transparent flat fee for the search. No obligation. No percentage. Just a clear answer on what the recruitment will cost — before we begin.
