Our dedicated team excels in recruiting for Accounting & Finance, Banking & Financial Services, Human Resources, and Information Technology roles, from mid-level specialists to senior leadership positions, ensuring precise alignment with our clients’ strategic needs.
Blue Recruiting is a financial recruitment consultancy based in South Africa, founded in 2014 by James Hobson and Graeme Marais. The company initially partnered with KPMG to support financial staffing needs but has since become independent and expanded its services internationally.
The firm specializes in recruiting top professionals in finance, data, and technology. Blue Recruiting acts as an extension of clients' HR teams, focusing on high-quality candidates who may not be actively seeking new roles. They emphasize a quality-over-quantity approach, rigorously pre-vetting candidates to ensure a good cultural fit and alignment with the role. Their services include recruitment support for finance and technology roles, early access to newly qualified Chartered Accountants through their Digital Catalogue, and minimizing employment risk through careful candidate selection.
Blue Recruiting values strong relationships and cultural compatibility, prioritizing face-to-face meetings with clients and candidates. The founding partners bring complementary expertise, combining financial knowledge with extensive recruitment experience.
