Hear It From Our Founder
Built by someone who felt
this problem firsthand.Talently was founded after seeing how many great companies were stuck choosing between overpaying for local talent or gambling on freelancers who’d disappear mid-project. Today, Talently connects North American businesses with vetted, full-time South African professionals, with one mission: help ambitious companies build great teams without the traditional cost or risk of hiring.

Frequently asked questions
Recruiting is a one-time fee (25% of annual salary) where you handle payroll and HR yourself. Staffing is $850/month and includes contracts, payroll, benefits, and compliance handled entirely by us.
You get a free replacement. We keep sourcing and shortlisting until the fit clicks — on Recruiting that runs through your guarantee window, and on Staffing for as long as the placement is live.
Yes. On Staffing we employ the person in South Africa, so contracts, taxes, benefits, and local labour law sit with us. You never have to open an entity or run foreign payroll.
Most roles are shortlisted within a week. You interview a vetted handful rather than a pile of applications, so the average search closes in two to three weeks from the first call.
Executive assistants, sales and SDR, customer support, finance and bookkeeping, marketing, and operations — the full-time, in-your-timezone roles that keep a growing business moving.
