The NexRecruit way
Three steps. No fine print. No fees for job seekers.
That is the whole ask right now. When we open, you build a profile once, properly, in the right order.
When we open, a person will review every profile before any employer sees it. No black-box score will decide your future.
When we open, employers will meet a clean, complete, verified version of you. Speed goes up, misfires go down.
How this starts
The first 60 days are yours.
Phase one
Get ready. Free.
Founding members unlock NexAcademy: a free 60-day WhatsApp journey from wherever you are today to interview-ready. Core work skills, AI skills, and the professional habits SA employers screen for. You leave with a verified certificate.
Phase two
Employers arrive.
Verified employers meet a curated pool of NexAcademy-trained founding members. Your certificate and your founding number decide who employers meet first, and both are yours forever.
Why it works
Curation, not volume.
Job boards flood employers with 500 unvetted CVs and everyone loses. NexRecruit is being built to flip that: a limited, human-approved pool a recruiter can actually work through. Nobody is being reviewed or put forward yet.
Open now
Get in before the doors open.
Two lists. Pick the one that is you. It costs an email address, and we tell you the moment we open.

For job seekers
Applying into silence?
You send application after application and hear nothing back. A recruiter scans a CV in seconds. NexRecruit makes those seconds count. The doors are open: create your free profile, upload one CV, and let the work you have already done speak properly for you.
Create your profile today. Free, and it stays free. Upload one CV and add your licence codes and qualifications: the two lines that decide eligibility for most South African roles.
Get presented properly. Your profile is laid out so an employer sees what you can actually do, not how well you happened to phrase a CV.
Stay in control. Nothing of yours is shared with any employer without you switching visibility on, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time.
For companies
Drowning in CVs?
Hundreds of applications. A handful that fit. Days of your team's time lost before a single interview. NexRecruit is built for the other way round, and the doors are open. Sixty founding places, then never again: register now and brief your first role.
Verified companies only. Every company is verified before it sees any candidate, and candidates know who is looking.
Sixty founding places. Your founding number and your founding rate are yours permanently, and recruiting is live.
Verified documents. CVs are backed by qualifications and identity, checked before they reach you.
Built on trust, by design
POPIA consent built in
You choose what we process and who sees it. Plain language, no fine print tricks.
Encrypted document storage
Your documents are stored encrypted and shared only with companies we have verified.
Two-factor authentication
Every account can switch on 2FA. Admin accounts must.
Delete any time
One request removes your profile and documents. No questions, no delays.
Never pay anyone to get a job. Job seekers use NexRecruit free, and that will not change. NexRecruit improves how you are presented to employers. It never promises or guarantees employment.
Straight answers
The questions people always ask.
Is this really free for job seekers?
Yes, and it stays free. If anyone asks you for money in your job search, it is not us; report it and we will act.
Who can see my details?
Nobody. Today we hold an email address and nothing else, and it is never shared or sold. When we open, your profile will only be visible to companies we have verified, and only while you switch it on.
Will a score ever reject me?
No. When we open, scores will show you what to improve and help us prioritise, and a person will review every match before anything reaches an employer.
What do you need from me right now?
An email address. Nothing else. We are not collecting CVs or identity documents until our registration as a private employment agency is granted, so please do not send them.
When do you open?
We are waiting on the Department of Employment and Labour and we will not guess at a date. Everyone on the list is emailed the moment it happens.
