Without the
agency price tag.
We find, screen, and deliver interview-ready candidates straight to you — at a fraction of what a traditional agency charges. No retainers. No percentage of salary. Just great hires.
Hiring, stripped
back to what works.
Tell us about the role
A quick 10-minute brief on who you're looking for, what they'll be doing, and what matters most.
We go find them
We advertise, filter, and personally screen candidates. Only the good ones get through.
You get interview-ready CVs
We send a short shortlist of interview-ready CVs. Review them and pick who you'd like to meet — you only pay for the ones you choose.
Add extras if you need them
Skills tests, assessments, onboarding support. Bolt on only what makes sense.
Traditional agencies charge 15–25% of a new employee's annual salary.
On a R20,000/month hire, that's R36,000 – R60,000+ in fees before the person's even started. Human Innovation only charges for the candidates you choose to take forward — nothing's charged for the rest of the shortlist until you decide to interview someone.
