About Us

Hyrax Personnel Placements (Pty) Ltd has been building lasting connections between businesses and job seekers since 1996. Founded by Francois Orton, the company was established on a clear vision: to deliver recruitment solutions that are simply effective. Over the years, Hyrax has become known for integrity, dedication, and the ability to create long-term partnerships that benefit both employers and employees. At the core of Hyrax’s success is a personalized, database-first approach. Candidates registered on the database are always considered before vacancies are advertised publicly, meaning many opportunities are filled before ever reaching the open market. Each candidate goes through a personal registration process, including an interview and a Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI) profile, ensuring a deep understanding of their strengths, preferences, and career goals. Hyrax offers recruitment solutions across industries, ranging from junior roles to senior executive placements. The team is thorough in every step of the process, carrying out detailed reference checks, background screenings, and assessments to ensure a perfect fit. Their philosophy is simple: better matches lead to long-term success. Many of Hyrax’s earliest placements remain with their companies decades later, having grown into leadership positions. More than just a recruitment agency, Hyrax Personnel Placements sees itself as a trusted partner. With a belief that every career journey begins with the right connection, the company views recruitment as both a science and an art, where the right placement can unlock growth, opportunity, and lasting rewards.

What We Do

"better, faster, easier"

Recruitment That Is Simply Effective Since 1996, Hyrax Personnel Placements has been committed to delivering recruitment solutions that are practical, thorough, and effective. We believe that recruitment is both an art and a science, and our mission is to connect the right people with the right opportunities. Whether it’s a junior candidate ready to grow or a senior professional ready to lead, we ensure every placement is built for long-term success.

Database-First Candidate Selection Our recruitment process always begins with our own database of candidates. This means job seekers who have registered with us are given first priority before vacancies are advertised in the press or online. Many opportunities are therefore filled without ever being made public, giving our candidates a unique advantage and our clients quick access to trusted talent.

Personal Registration & Profiling At Hyrax, we value personal connections. That’s why every job seeker registering with us is invited to schedule an in-person appointment. During this session, we conduct an interview and complete a Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI) profile. This allows us to understand candidates’ thinking preferences, strengths, and goals, ensuring a deeper and more accurate match with employers.

Comprehensive Screening & Checks We take pride in our thorough approach. Every candidate undergoes detailed screening, which may include reference checks, background verification, credit checks, skills assessments, and psychometric testing where required. By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that the candidates we recommend are reliable, capable, and ready to contribute.

Partnerships That Last Our work does not end with placement, it begins there. Many of our earliest candidates are still with the companies we placed them in, now thriving in senior roles. This is because we see recruitment as a long-term partnership, not just a transaction. By understanding our clients’ culture, management style, and unique needs, we create matches that benefit both employers and job seekers for years to come.

They take the time to understand our business, our culture, and exactly what we need in a candidate. The placements we’ve made through Hyrax have become some of our most valuable team members.

What sets Hyrax apart is the personal touch. From the moment I registered on their database, I felt valued as more than just another CV. The interview and brain profile process gave me real insight into my own strengths, and within a short time they matched me with a company where I’ve been able to grow and thrive. I cannot recommend their service enough.

Hyrax’s attention to detail is unmatched. Every candidate they’ve recommended has been thoroughly screened, and we’ve always had complete confidence in their recommendations. Their commitment to long-term partnerships shows, some of the employees we hired through Hyrax years ago are now in senior roles. For us, Hyrax is not just a recruitment agency, they are a trusted partner in building our team.
