Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: payroll qualification certificate, certified copy of your matric plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Soweto; 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.

Before you hit apply

Say how many employees you paid and how often, such as "1,200 weekly-paid staff on VIP"; volume matters.
Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
