Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Cape Town CBD really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 8 or motorbike licence copy plus a CV with any delivery or courier work.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Cape Town CBD; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Say you have a smartphone and know delivery apps. Most courier jobs now run through an app and training time is short.
For owner-driver jobs, list your vehicle's make, year and load size. They hire the vehicle as much as the driver.
