About Applying.co.za

Applying.co.za brings South African vacancies into one search. There are 3 460 open roles from 979 employers on the site today, across all nine provinces.

Why it exists

Searching for a job on most boards means wading through results that have nothing to do with what you typed. Search “analyst” and you get personal assistant roles whose descriptions happen to mention the word four times. That is not a small annoyance — it is most of the work of looking for a job.

So the search here does something different. Every listing is classified against a role taxonomy, and a search matches on the role a job actually is, not on whether a word appears somewhere in the advert. Search for an analyst role and you get analyst roles.

Where the listings come from

Vacancies are collected from employers’ own careers portals and applicant tracking systems, from licensed job data, and from employers who post directly. Applications go to the employer, not through us — and we never charge a jobseeker to apply, for anything.

What we do with your data

As little as possible. You can search and apply without an account. What we do collect is set out in the Privacy Policy, which follows the Protection of Personal Information Act.

For employers

You can create an account and post a role directly. Listings are reviewed before they appear in search, which is how the board stays free of the “earn R50 000 from home” postings that make job boards unusable.
