Spyglass Africa was born out of a vision to offer a fully- specialized consultative recruitment service to multinational clients across all levels of the human capital spectrum and targeting the entire African market. With the rapid growth in the developing markets in Africa and the limited availability of specifically local skills, the need is for a specialised, niche- focused partner who can offer an efficient, trustworthy and relevant recruitment service.
Our approach is built on working towards establishing a consultative rather than a transactional relationship with companies and their prospective employees. The objective is to make a real difference to company and personal development through focusing on our clients’ needs within the context of their overall growth and development strategy for their African operations. Our methodology is aimed at maximizing and enhancing our strong networks within the targeted skills market and exposing companies to real talent in the passive skills arena.
We understand that we are in the business of people and not resumes. We also understand that the reliance on ex pat skills in the African skills market is not sustainable. Companies want more local content in their local and regional African operations and this is where Spyglass Africa feels we offer a competitive edge in the war for talent on the African continent. We believe that establishing a niche, specialized recruitment business, focusing on specific industry sectors offers more value to our clients than offering a generalist transactional approach to the process of attracting top tier talent to our clients’ organizations.
Our core focus areas include the chemicals, mining, oil and gas and agricultural industries.
We have created a model which enables us to recruit talented professionals better, faster and more efficiently thereby helping our clients position themselves quicker with the right people and therefore win what has become a war for talent in the African market.
