In light of the country's well-publicised professional skills shortage that includes the ICT and engineering sectors, Staffit has expanded its business to include the engineering and financial industries.
Previously known as the human capital institute, which operated as a complementary offering to e.com institute's services, Staffit's new name now reflects and defines its core business. "With our expanded offering we can market our services in a focused and defined manner, enabling us to function successfully," explains Ashraf Suleman, director at Staffit.
Staffit endeavours to, despite South Africa's skills shortage, match organisations and people as closely as possible, assisting clients in finding the right and skilled personnel that will benefit their operations.
"The challenge is to prevent people taking the next offer that comes around. We, therefore, have to ensure we make a strong placement that will in turn benefit the candidate and enable the company to retain its skills," he adds.
"When placing a candidate, we ensure they are committed to the career move rather than accepting an offer based on a better salary. We encourage our candidates to look beyond the financial gain and focus on their future working environment, company culture and career aspirations. It is our commitment to ensure these needs are in line with what the company can offer."
Commenting on Staffit's expansion into the engineering and finance industries: "Our experience in the ICT industry puts us in a strong position to service both industries as we have a strong relationship with our current customer-base," says Suleman.
Indicative of the company's service-delivery, it also recently obtained its Association of Personnel Service Organisations (APSO) membership, which according to Suleman puts the rubber stump on Staffit's high level of services to the industry.
"The membership indicates that we comply with the association's standard of best practices and code of ethics, which is particularly important in an industry that has often been put under the spotlight for its questionable practices," he concludes.
