South African talent sourcing and screening service

Our Candidate Sourcing, Screening and Shortlisting Process

At FreedomJobs.co.za, we make it easy for you to hire reliable South African remote talent.
When you choose our Candidate Sourcing and Screening Service, we don’t just post your job — we actively filter applicants and deliver only the strongest matches.

Below is our clear and transparent screening process.


1. Job Posting & Promotion

We publish your role on our remote jobs board that gets thousands of hits a year and, promote it through our social media channels and to our email list of 10,400+ candidates to attract qualified South African candidates. We also source from our growing CV database.


2. Application Collection

All applications are reviewed and organised into a manageable shortlist.
We ensure nothing gets lost and every candidate is considered.


3. Eligibility Filtering

We then remove candidates who don’t meet your minimum requirements, including:

  • Location
  • Required experience or skills
  • English proficiency
  • Availability and working hours
  • Internet and tech requirements

This initial pass removes unsuitable applicants quickly so only relevant candidates remain.


4. Experience & Skills Review

We then review each remaining CV thoroughly:

  • Relevant past roles
  • Demonstrated skills
  • Stability and professionalism
  • Communication quality
  • Role-specific strengths

This step identifies high-potential applicants who are worth your attention.


5. Screening Questions (Optional)

For additional clarity, we send candidates a short written questionnaire tailored to your role.
Typical questions cover:

  • Their interest in the role
  • Previous experience
  • Availability
  • Salary expectations
  • Role-specific competencies

This step gives deeper insight without requiring your time.


6. Scoring & Ranking

Each candidate is then rated across key areas such as:

  • Fit for the role
  • Experience
  • Communication ability
  • Reliability signals

This ensures we deliver a well-curated shortlist, not just a stack of CVs.


7. Final Shortlist Delivery

You receive a clean, organised shortlist of the strongest candidates — typically 5–10 — including:

  • Candidate name
  • Summary of experience
  • Why they’re a good match
  • Availability
  • Salary expectations
  • Their full CV

You can then proceed with interviews and hiring at your convenience.
