Recruitment that feels personal.
Because it is.
Joburg-based. Relationship-led. Built on more than a decade of trust.
Where relationships come first.
The personal touch in recruitment.
I’m Kim Hatchuel, the person behind A-Proofed Recruitment. With more than ten years of recruitment experience, I know that what truly makes the difference is people and the relationships built with them.
A-Proofed Recruitment was created to offer something different: a recruitment experience where you deal directly with one person who understands your business and who takes full responsibility for finding the right fit every time.
My approach is simple, honest, and efficient. Every match is carefully thought through, not just a box ticked. I take the time to understand your business so that the people I place actually stay. That’s why my clients trust me, and why most of them follow me wherever I go.
Before I put candidates forward, I use my professional proofreading background to ensure their profiles are clear, precise, and include all the relevant information. This way, you receive well-presented candidates with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Simple, Honest, and Personal Recruitment.
You work directly with me from start to finish. You get clear, consistent communication with someone who understands what’s at stake when you’re hiring, and takes full responsibility for helping you get it right.
Careful, Considered Process
I don’t rely on job ads alone. Most candidates come from personal referrals, trusted networks, or targeted searches. If I wouldn’t hire them myself, I won’t send them to you.
Transparent Timelines
The time it takes depends on the brief and the market. I move quickly where needed and always keep you updated. If I can’t meet a deadline, I’ll say so upfront.
Straightforward Fees
My fees are fair and adjusted based on your company size. No fixed rate cards or inflated percentages. Just a practical, professional approach.
Two-Month Guarantee
If the candidate doesn’t work out within the first two months, I’ll find a replacement free of charge. No fuss, just a real commitment to getting it right.
Clear Job Specs
Need help writing or refining a job description? With my background in writing and proofreading, I ensure your brief speaks clearly to the right audience.
Confidential & Compliant
All information is handled carefully and in accordance with the POPI Act to protect your privacy and maintain trust.
