Hiring breaks in three places

The brief is wrong

Roles get written from an old job description instead of the work that actually needs doing. Everything downstream inherits the error.

The shortlist is thin

Volume sourcing produces applications, not candidates. Hiring managers end up screening on gut feel under time pressure.

The hire does not stay

Nobody checked for fit against the team, the culture or the next two years of the role.

The TacQ method

Seven steps, run in order, with something you can hold at the end of each one.

What we do

End to end talent acquisition

Brief to onboarding, run as one accountable process.

Executive and direct search

Mapped, approached and assessed against a defined market, not a database.

Contingent workforce

Project and interim resourcing that flexes with demand.

HR strategy and operations

Structures, policy, performance and workforce planning that hold up under growth.

Compliance and risk

LRA, BCEA, EEA, B-BBEE, Skills Development and SETA, plus vetting and verification.

Graduate and campus programmes

National graduate campaigns, internships, placements and student conversion.

Technology does the searching. People do the judging.

We use AI assisted sourcing, market mapping and screening to compress the slow parts of hiring: finding who exists, checking what is verifiable, and ranking against the brief. What technology never does at TacQ is decide. Every shortlist is argued for by a person who has done this for twenty years and can tell you exactly why each name is on it.

  • Faster market coverage.
  • Consistent, criteria based screening.
  • Full audit trail for compliance and B-BBEE reporting.
