Labour Hire

We supply labour in technical, supervisory and trade personnel to the engineering, construction and industrial industries.

Magauta Recruitment & Placement Solutions administers wages and salaries, advances when required, PAYE taxes and UIF, as well as IRP5 forms at the year-end.  We are also passionate about personnel welfare and safety.

	In today’s environment of uncertain order books and retrenchments, we offer an alternative solution to your labour requirements.  It is a worldwide trend and is fast becoming a reality in South Africa, to use contract labour instead of employing labour on a permanent basis. Some of the obvious advantages of industrial, engineering and technical contract labour hire are:
	Flexibility for the duration of contract No administration costs or responsibility, as we absorb all duties such as wages and all relevant deductions No union involvement and no disciplinary action No cost centre for the provision of tools No training involved as all our artisans are fully qualified and trade tested No retrenchments and subsequent retrenchment packages payable
	It would be our pleasure to arrange a meeting with you at your convenience to discuss your labour requirements. Below is a guide to our budget prices for artisan labour hire solutions but should you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us

Permanent Placement

Before we start looking for the right skills for your company, we will first gain a good understanding of your business and the environment within which you operate. This will provide us with insight into the way you conduct your business, your culture, as well as the ethics, values and standards by which you operate.
This valuable insight and understanding will assist in providing a short-list of the best available candidates that not only meet the skills, experience and qualifications required to get the job done, but also match your culture, ethics and values.

This is important, as so often a mismatch in these areas can lead to a high staff turnover within the first three months of permanent employment.  For your peace of mind, we also have a standard ninety-day guarantee, which starts once a candidate has been placed in a permanent position.

Our recruitment process incorporates the following steps:

Temporary Placement

Magauta is geared to supply staff to you at short notice to fill in for:

• Emergency situations such as staff being on sick leave
• Staff on annual leave
• Staff on maternity leave
• Assistance in abnormal workloads
• Long term assignments

We are also able to provide specialised skills for projects or fixed term contracts. Our extensive database of temporary candidates includes such skill sets as:

• Project Managers and support staff
• Management staff (marketing, financial, HR)
• Human resources support staff (salaries and wages, administrative)
• Call centre staff (agents, supervisors, team leaders and managers)
• Receptionists, secretaries and clerical staff (financial, administrative and bookkeepers)

The benefits associated with this service include:

• Temps are added to Magauta’s payroll for the duration of the assignment so as not to burden you with additional overheads, as well as payroll, IR and HR responsibilities
• Once the assignment is completed, the contract is terminated with no retrenchment or other legal implications
• Projects can be initiated, the ground work done and the project either completed or brought to an agreed point with minimal interruption to the day-to-day focus of your permanent staff and management
• Daily routines can be maintained during the absence of key employees

Ad Response Management

Ad response management has proven to be a quick and effective method of finding scarce and specialised skills where national exposure through national media advertising draws a broad spectrum of responses.

Ad response management involves understanding the job specification and analysing the availability of the skills in the market and where best to advertise in order to attract those skills. This could be in local or national media or a combination of both.

Turnaround times are also considered, as most often there is an urgent need to source the skills.

This service is flexible in that you can opt to let Magauta manage some of the functions while you keep certain parts of the process, such as the interviews, internal.

Recruitment Advertising

An advertisement may be the first introduction to your company for many people.  As first impressions last, your recruitment advertisement will have to create interest and a favourable image of your company.

Many companies handle their own recruitment advertising and then fail to provide all the necessary information, leading to unsuitable applicants and frustration.  Contrary to past thinking, it is now more cost effective for companies to let experts handle their recruitment advertising. 

Magauta’s recruitment advertising service offers professional advice on the design and layout of the advertisement, how to enjoy maximum exposure and what to include to draw the right talent.

This is the ideal way for job seekers to hear about jobs they never would have and companies to advertise themselves and career opportunities.

 

Payroll Management

Payroll management is becoming more time-consuming for small and medium sized business. Not only must the payroll administration functions run smoothly with the correct levies and taxes being paid, but a comprehensive database of employee information complying with statutory requirements needs to be maintained.

Our payroll management service includes:

• Wages payouts and statutory deductions (tax, UIF, overtime, workman’s compensation and leave)
• Banks transfers to our candidates
• Developing of payslips and distribution to candidates

 

Specialist Search

When senior positions impact on the bottom-line and responsibilities include the achievement of profitable results, it is vital to find the right candidate the first time so as not to waste valuable resources.

Specialist search is very much targeted to finding individuals who are not only highly qualified and experienced in your industry, but have also earned themselves enviable reputations as being “the best in their profession”.

These individuals are highly sought after because of their unique and scarce skills that cannot be easily found on a database or through advertising.  Our specialist search methodology is conducted using a strict code of ethics as follows:

• We dedicate a team to conduct research on same or similar industries within which your company operates or where we will find the unique skills required.
  
• Candidates that fit the position and culture of your company are identified by virtue of their skills, qualifications, experience and reputation.
  
• The search is conducted under strict confidentiality for both yourself and the candidate.
  
• Only once you have confirmed that the candidate is right for your organisation, will Magauta approach the candidate on your behalf to assess their interest and set up an interview.

 

Staff Outsourcing

As more and more companies turn to staff outsourcing to control manpower costs and gain tailored flexible solutions for the management of their staffing requirements, Magauta has positioned itself to offer a highly flexible and competitive staffing solution to its clients.

An organisation’s entire staffing requirement or part thereof are provided by Magauta, either on a short or long-term contract basis. The contracts are structured to suit the peaks and troughs and particular trading requirements of the organisation.
