MANAGED SCREENING
HONEYGUIDE
Your next hire is already out there. We'll find them, screen them, And have them on your desk in five days.
HoneyGuide is our flat-fee managed screening service. One fixed cost, no matter the salary. A fully vetted shortlist in five business days. And if you need to hire more than one, the fee doesn't move.
HOW IT WORKS
01 / Strategy session
A 45-minute call with our MD to map your role, your culture, and your red lines. We pin down the technical competencies, baseline qualifications, and behavioural criteria before we search for a single candidate.
02 / Campaign launch
We write the ads and go live across five to seven boards within 48 hours. Public listings plus direct outreach into our passive candidate network.
03 / Weekly shortlists
Your dashboard updates daily. Every week you receive a shortlist with video interviews, skills assessment scores, screening notes, and notice period verifications.
04 / Hire when you're ready
The campaign runs until you're done. Hire one or hire ten, the fee stays the same. No escalation, no surprises.
THE FLAT-FEE PHILOSOPHY
Traditional recruitment charges a percentage of the final salary. The better the candidate, the more you pay. HoneyGuide doesn't work that way.
One pre-agreed fee covers the full campaign. It doesn't move when the candidate accepts a higher offer. It doesn't double when you need a second hire. You know the cost before you start, and it stays there.
| Vetting Metric | Traditional Sourcing | HoneyGuide Screening |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Model | Contingency percentage of first-year salary (15 to 25%). | Single pre-agreed flat fee. |
| Cost Predictability | Fluctuates with final salary packages. | 100% predictable from day one. |
| Hire Cap | Fees scale with every additional hire. | Hire multiple candidates at no extra cost. |
| Turnaround Time | Unpredictable, multi-week cycles. | Audited shortlist in 5 business days. |
| Validation Depth | Sparsely checked CV submissions. | Video interviews and objective skills assessments. |
How we protect the process
Three things we won't cut corners on.
POPIA compliance
Every candidate gives explicit written consent before we touch their data. Storage, access, and deletion are handled strictly in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act.
Skills validation
We use standardised, role-specific assessments to measure actual technical capability, not what a CV claims.
Candidate experience
How you treat candidates during screening is part of your employer brand. We make sure that experience reflects well on you.
