Our personalised and solutions-based recruitment service ensures you have access to top talent that fits your business model, all while optimising your budget.

Global employers should consider hiring remote skilled moms based in South Africa due to the unique blend of benefits they offer.

RecruitMyMom's talent base of skilled mothers brings reliability, exceptional skills and a strong work ethic, making them highly sought-after remote workers by employers worldwide.

Hiring from South Africa also provides cost savings without compromising on quality. The shared time zone with Europe and the ability to converse fluently in English further enhance their suitability for global roles.

What is a fixed-term contract, and when can a fixed-term contract be extended? 

What is a fixed-term or fixed-duration contract?

Section 198B(1) of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) defines a fixed-term contract as a contract of employment that terminates on:

·         the occurrence of a specific event;

·         the completion of a specified task or project;

·         a fixed date other than an employee’s normal or agreed retirement age.

Why does RecruitMyMom not accept written employment references?

Due to the number of fraudulent written employment references submitted, we no longer accept written references. If, however, you get invited to an interview and would like to submit a written reference, this can be emailed to your recruiter with the contact details of the referee. If the referee can not be contacted, the reference will not be submitted to a client. 

Can you keep my CV on file and let me know if any jobs become available?

We keep your CV on a candidate portal you create and complete on our website. You will be sent job alerts that match your CV, profile and the skills that you select in the 'skills' section. The best way to find out about jobs on our site is to say 'yes' to communication from us on your profile so that we can email you. Alternatively, keep on checking the Current Jobs page on our website, and sign up to our social media channels for newly available jobs.

How do I become a Virtual Assistant?

While we don't maintain a separate database specifically for Virtual Assistant roles, you can apply through the same registration and application process as other positions on our platform.

I am not a citizen of South Africa, can I apply for a job on the RecruitMyMom website?

Unfortunately, we can only assist non-South African citizens looking for employment in SA should they have the necessary permits (e.g. Critical Skills Work Visa) in place.

If I no longer live in SA, am I able to apply for jobs advertised on the RecruitMyMom website?

All South African citizens living abroad with a South African bank account can register on the website and apply for remote jobs. 

 

If I'm relocating, what city do I add onto my candidate profile?

If I want to move to a specific city and apply for jobs, should I put the city I live in or the city to which I want to move? 

 

You should put the city to which you are relocating on your candidate profile to get job alerts for the opportunities in your desired location.
