word on the street

Ashley

"Congratulations. I have been in recruitment and selection in Government for some time now and have been involved with various eRecruit companies. Your site is unique, original and it gives a person new hope in applying for positions that suit your personality. Where have you been hiding all the time? I sincerely think you will become the leaders in eRecruit in South Africa. Of course there will be a lot of copy cats. Keep on improving and stay ahead of the competition."

Marisa

"Awesome! I found it very accurate and insightful. I think it's a fabulous way to place someone in their dream job and for companies to find their dream employee! It's like a dating service for employment!"

Quinton

"Thank you soooo much, this is the most accurate description of who I am as a person; it also gave me a sense of confidence, since I'm starting over in my life."

Denise

"I would just like to commend you on the most accurate personality assessment of my 'work personality' ever done! Wow, I am blown away at how accurately you have summed me up. Thank you!"

Roberta

"Your recruitment strategy is dope - such an interesting concept. I'm a big fan of the MBTI test and feel that character and culture fit is often overlooked. I really enjoyed doing the MCQ's; so much of fun. The layout makes me smile too. Keep at the good stuff."

Sorea

"Just a quick note to say that I love the look of your website. It is unique and imaginative and the fact that you get your testing done online in such a simple way is wonderful. I was sent an email by a recruiter with a 38-page document to fill in, by hand, and then fax back to them. Now, I don't mind filling documents in, however technology has changed and it is much more efficient to be able to do testing on an online platform, or even on a PDF form to email back, then to write it out by hand and then fax it back. Thank you for putting the effort into creating a recruitment platform that is easily accessible and fun to work on."

why Crayon?

lowest fee

At only 5%* per placement, Crayon offers the lowest managed recruitment fee in SA. This equates to an average saving of R17,291.85 per hire or 10% of the annual CTC for any job paying over R33,250 per month.

3-month guarantee

Should your appointed hire be shown the door before their initial 3 months are up*, Crayon will find a replacement hire at zero cost to you. We'd prefer that you work it out, but CCMA happens.

* Terms and crayons apply

transparent process

Crayon makes use of a 10-3-1 recruitment process. The auto-filtering algorithm proposes candidates best suited for a role, the crayon crew then shortlist 10 candidates and request them to undergo additional aptitude testing (if requested) and online interviews. 3 are then put forward for the final interview process to be held face-to-face with the employer, with the most-suited candidate then getting the job.

personality matching

Candidates are matched to roles based on their assigned personality profile together with specific secondary personality traits. Qualifications, experience, required salary ranges and location are then added to the mix meaning candidates need not apply to jobs, jobs find you!

TAKE THE TEST

standardised Crayon vitae

There's nothing worse than trying to review multiple CVs, all with different formats, different levels of detail, and filled with irrelevant content. Crayon simplifies the process via summarising each candidate's offering on one page, using one standard Crayon CV format. We like to call it, the Crayon vitae.

jobs apply to you

Unlike traditional recruitment methods, Crayon jobs find you. Ensure your profile is accurate and up to date, and the system will pair you with appropriate roles that match your criteria.

baseline profiling

Get your staff assessed to better understand the current team dynamics, what makes your rock stars tick, and which personality would be best-suited for a specific role. Starting from R9,950 for a team of up to 20. Sign-up as an employer to get started.

referral network

Candidates who refer 3 friends go for half-price. Employers who refer 3 businesses, get 50% off their next hire.
