The Recruitment Software Buyer’s Checklist for South African Teams

The eight questions that decide whether the software actually works for you, what a good answer sounds like, and a scoring grid to compare vendors side by side. Free to download.

Most recruitment software demos are excellent. That is the problem. A demo shows you the best-case version and skips the questions that decide whether the software works once your team is inside it every day, once your headcount doubles, or once someone asks you to prove how candidate data is handled. This checklist gives you those questions, and a way to score every vendor against them.

What’s inside

  • The eight questions to ask before you sign, covering POPIA compliance, pricing model, local support, EE and B-BBEE reporting, implementation and more
  • For each question, what a good answer sounds like and the red flag to watch for
  • The three questions vendors quietly hope you will not ask
  • A printable scoring grid to compare up to three vendors side by side

Who This Checklist Is For

This practical guide is designed for:

  • HR Directors
  • Talent Acquisition Leads
  • HR Managers

at South African companies weighing up a recruitment system.
