About the agency

Helen Wilson Recruitment is a niche market recruitment agency based in Hyde Park, Johannesburg. We have three consultants and we service a handful of clients with whom we have been doing business for between five and ten years. Because we are small and exclusive we believe we have an advantage over some of our competitors in that we can provide a focused and dedicated service. Between us we have many years of experience in recruitment, particularly in the Financial Services, and have built up a solid network and database over the years. We aim to give individual attention to our clients’ needs and match them as closely as possible with the most appropriate applicants. We understand that human capital is the most expensive and critical resource to the client and we try to manage the recruitment process effectively and intelligently. Equally we realise that the act of looking for and starting a new job is a stressful for the applicant so we approach the task with sensitivity and compassion.
