If your operation sits elsewhere, posting the role as remote or hybrid widens the pool without raising the offer.

Frequently asked questions
Which companies are hiring in South Africa?
Right now there are 231 companies with open roles in South Africa, adding up to 367 positions. The ones hiring most appear first in the directory on this page, and you can filter them by field or by city.
My company is listed but I never posted anything — why?
Because the opening was taken from a public job source — the portal where your company posted it, or the company’s own site — and Saplic created the profile in order to show it. Nobody at your company had to sign up for that to happen. If you want control over what is shown, you can claim the profile and become its owner: from there you edit the details, manage the openings and receive the applications.
How do I claim my company profile?
Find your company in the directory and tap “Claim this profile”. You will see the record so you can confirm it is the right one, and then you are asked for your work email, your role and a document proving you work there. A Saplic administrator reviews it within 1 to 3 business days. If approved, you become the owner on the free plan and inherit every opening already posted.
How much does it cost to post a job?
Nothing. You can keep up to 10 jobs active at the same time for free and with no credit card, with the applicant tracking system included.
What is the difference between a managed profile and an unclaimed one?
A managed profile has someone from the company on the other side: they answer applications, keep the openings current and decide what is shown. An unclaimed profile exists only to display openings found in public sources, and applications have nobody to reach inside the company.
How do I ask for my company to be removed from the directory?
Email us at contacto@saplic.com from a company address and we will sort it out. If you would rather stay but control what is published, claiming the profile is usually better: you keep the visibility and you decide the content.
How often is this list updated?
Every time the page loads. There is no stored version: when you open it, the roles active at that moment are counted. The date above is today’s, August 15, 2026.
Are the openings on this page real?
They are the ones posted and in force on Saplic right now: each has a closing date and drops out of the directory when it expires. What we cannot guarantee is that the company is still hiring after that date, and that is why a managed profile matters: there it is the company that keeps the posting current.
