About

The skills shortage in South Africa is one of the major stumbling points for the development of a sustainable South African economy. Skilled talent is a prerequisite to enable growth and bolster global competitiveness. However, the Brain Drain has depleted South Africa of the much-needed talent. Reversing the Brain Drain can be achieved in two ways. Firstly, the repatriation of suitably qualified South Africans currently living abroad OR secondly, attracting immigrants from other countries.

”We had an outstanding response to the targeted mailer that was sent out through Homecoming Revolution. We most certainly met and interviewed candidates which the traditional methods of recruitment would not have delivered. We saw a broad range of candidates, some very senior and those who fall into the middle to senior management category. These candidates all have something in common! Their desire to return to South Africa at some point and the global experience that they will be ploughing back! It was interesting to see that some of the applicant are from Cape Town, and that they have been informed by relatives or friends about the role. This definitely demonstrates the power and reach of the Homecoming network. We essentially identified two categories, those in the 35years+ range who want to come home after being abroad for some time now, and the 50years+ range who would like to do one more last stint before scaling down or using their talent in a different capacity. Thanks for everything. Your response and support throughout the process was great” Susan Fouche – Head Human Resources Fundamo

“We placed an ad on the Homecoming website. The response was small but with very high calibre candidates. An applicant applied to our advert through the Homecoming wesbsite, she flew to SA to attend interviews. She attended 2 interviews and was offered a position with one of our large Durban based organizations. She flew back to the UK to resign and then returned to Durban to start with her new company.” Helen Lucre Resourcing
