Celebrating 15 Years of CA Global Headhunters!

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 13:31:07 GMT

It has been 15 years already! Founded in 2007, CA Global Headhunters was one of the first international recruitment and staffing firms to specifically focus on recruitment for Africa. This was through the vision of founder and former Managing Director Bradley Barr, who noticed the explosion of startups and skills growth in Africa, along with increasing foreign investors’ interest in the continent, and saw an opportunity.

Fast-forward to now as we proudly celebrate the 15th anniversary of the company, and see how Bradley’s vision for CA Global – a trusted Africa recruiter with a global reach, international clientele, and impressive candidate database – has come to fruition. Although we started in and primarily specialise in serving Africa, since our beginning we have expanded our services outside of the continent, and now recruit for countries such as Australia and Canada.

Our two divisions of recruitment Finance and Mining serve clients within these sectors, however, we are not limited to these, also recruiting for a huge array of other industries. This includes everything from the energy industry to the engineering, information technology, manufacturing, and more industries.

We are proud of…

Our team’s industry expertise

CA Global’s consultants are led and trained by managers with years of experience in the African recruitment game and acquired knowledge of various sectors, particularly those that we primarily focus on: mining, banking and finance.

Therefore, each new consultant receives support and training that equips them with solid knowledge of the industry of their focus. What’s more, our consultants are not just educated about their industries at the start of their employment. They are constant learners who understand that their focus industries are deep and complex, and who educate themselves while keeping up to date on the goings-on of their industries.

CA Global’s exceptional proven success rate

We can confidently claim to have an outstanding success rate of placements across industries and position seniority levels. For instance, we have successfully recruited over 2,000 executives to date.

This points to our consultants’ abilities to gain an understanding of what clients and candidates alike really want through clear communication, strong interpersonal skills, professionalism, and recruitment abilities and expertise.

The deep knowledge we have of African markets

Just as with our knowledge of industries we specialise in, we also hold in-depth knowledge of the African markets we recruit from and for, and also work to continuously expand this knowledge. To this end, we are deeply familiar with the African markets and know how to best serve them and which skills they hold.

Our impressive reach to create a top-tier database and extensive network

CA Global is active on a number of platforms, including our multiple online job boards and sites, Indeed, and social platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

This gives us a wide reach and allows us to connect with, find, and be found by professionals and clients, which has greatly helped us to expand our network and candidate database.

It has also enabled us to establish and spread our image as a first-class recruitment firm for Africa.

Furthermore, we are not scared to make use of technology to elevate our performance and abilities. We employ tools such as those on LinkedIn to search for and identify potential best-fit candidates, which have proven to be reliable and successful.

Being a multilingual recruitment firm

We are proud to be a company that offers services in English, French, and Portuguese, with dedicated Francophone and Lusophone divisions.

Not only has our addition of these divisions given us a greater reach across Africa and Canada in the Francophone and Lusophone regions, but it also removes potential communication barriers when interacting with French- or Portuguese-speaking candidates and clients. This helps us to form stronger connections and gain an optimal understanding of their needs.

Thank you…

It has been an exciting adventure (and a hard slog) getting to where we are today and we have many people to be grateful to – the adventure is far from over.

We wish to give our heartfelt thanks to our valued clients who have trusted us time and again to deliver excellence and recruit the ideal candidates to strengthen their companies. You have enabled us to grow not just in scale, but in terms of experience, knowledge, and expertise in the African markets and many sectors.

We also want to thank the many candidates and professionals from all walks of life who we have met over the years and who inspire us to keep helping people realise their career dreams.

Last but not least, we could not forget to give a huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of the CA Global journey as a member of the team. We could not have accomplished what we have or created our company culture of drive and positivity without each employee, past, and present. You make CA Global what it is.
