What we do

At Pillangó Placements, we take pride not only in our vast experience spanning over two decades but also in our deep understanding of the IT industry in South Africa and our ability to adapt to the ever-changing and demanding landscape of this sector. We are adept at both technical discussions and character assessments, allowing us to align tech talent with the right opportunities and gives us an advantage in discovering the unicorns (perfect fit) for any position, no matter how niche or cutting-edge the tech stack may be.

Our success lies in the longevity and low turnover rate of our placed candidates. Our process involves a rigorous screening and interview phase, followed by skills validation and thorough background checks before shortlisting candidates. Our unique and intensive approach involves consultants working tirelessly to build a deep understanding of their candidates, enabling them to confidently recommend ideal matches. We apply the same level of dedication and interest in understanding our clients' companies.

We view ourselves as an extension of our clients, working together toward the shared goal of creating a thriving, agile company with exceptional, loyal, and retained talent, fostering a healthy culture.

Our experience extends to placing South African tech talent both within South Africa and abroad, for on-site and remote positions. We specialize in placing professionals across the spectrum, including Senior Management, Full Stack Developers (mobile and web app), Analysts, QA, Project Managers, DBA's, DevOps, AI experts, and all the way down to website developers and support staff.

What our clients say

I worked with Pillango for a short time in the last year, however my experience with the team has been amazing. The team takes time to understand their clients needs, they work at ensuring that the candidate is not only the right fit based on technical requirements, however they ensure that the candidates are also a cultural fit. The team is always available to assist with queries and they make you feel like you a the only client to have. I look forward to another amazing year.

HR, Large Health Tech company in Gauteng

Pillangó Placements understand our unique company culture and matches candidates brilliantly to ensure the screening is done and we get to only see the best of the best!

CEO, Cyber Security Tech company in Gauteng

As a rule I prefer to work with smaller recruitment agents like Pillangó. The larger agencies do not typically make the effort that Pillangó does to really understand, not only our business, but our company culture as well. They find not only someone with the right skill set, that can do the job, but candidates that really fit in with the team and the company culture we are trying to develop. Over the years that I have been making use of their services, someof the best candidates have come from Pillangó. I can strongly recommend including Pillangó as part of your recruitment panel.
