Would an international search help your organisation find the skills it needs?

When local recruitment does not yield suitable candidates, employers may need to consider international talent to fill key roles.

Understanding local talent shortages provides valuable insight into the need for global skills.

The 2026 Critical Skills Survey asks employers whether international recruitment could help address current skills shortages.

Does the latest Critical Skills List cater to the skills your business needs?

As business requirements change, it is important to understand whether the current list still reflects the occupations employers are actively trying to recruit.

As industries evolve and new specialisations emerge, employers are often the first to identify where skills gaps exist.

The 2026 Critical Skills Survey allows employers to share whether the list supports their hiring needs or whether gaps remain.

The Financially Independent Permit is one of South Africa's most sought-after permanent residence pathways for qualifying high-net-worth individuals, but the application process involves more than simply meeting the R12 million financial threshold.

In this episode, Manfred Barnard (Senior Immigration Consultant) and Keri Culver (Senior Immigration Consultant) unpack the liquid asset requirement, the R120,000 Department of Home Affairs contribution, offshore fund verification, and why a strategic two-step approach is often recommended for applicants seeking permanent residence in South Africa.
