Where the talent sits
Johannesburg and Cape Town have the deepest CA(SA) and CFA talent on the continent, and are the natural hub for asset-management and insurance searches. Lagos and Nairobi have the largest pools for fintech, retail banking, and payments. Cairo and Accra add strong credit-risk and compliance talent for Middle-East-facing and West-African lenders.
How we vet
Every candidate is screened by a human recruiter against the criteria in your brief before they reach your shortlist. For regulated roles we verify licences and, where relevant, credit checks and prior disciplinary history.
- CV and portfolio screen against role-specific criteria
- Structured competency interview with a human recruiter
- Technical or domain assessment set by sector specialists
- Credential and licence verification for regulated roles
