How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Richards Bay; 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

  • Never attach real payslips from a past employer; blank out names if you use one as an example.
  • Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
