ABOUT US

Let’s find your edge together.

At The Recruitment Edge, we believe that recruitment is more than just filling roles—it’s about transforming businesses and lives. Our company is built on a foundation of love, passion, and a deep belief in what is possible when the right people come together. With every placement, we’re driven by purpose and committed to being an unstoppable force for good in the world of work.

Founded and led by Madelein Smit, recruitment specialist, headhunter, and host of South Africa’s first TV show on employment—SABC1’s The Chair—we bring a human-centred approach to hiring. Madelein, a Standard Bank Women of the Year 2019 award winner, is known for her relentless drive, deep industry insight, and heartfelt mission to influence the human element of business. Her entrepreneurial spirit keeps us focused on what matters most: long-term fits and lasting impact.

 

Our team includes seasoned recruiter Giselle Renchts, who brings over a decade of experience across both government and private sectors. Together, we’ve placed more than 300 candidates in meaningful roles, helping businesses thrive and individuals build brighter futures.

As the official recruitment partner of The Chair, we stay on the cutting edge of HR and talent acquisition trends, offering expert services in Permanent Recruitment, Executive Search, and HR Consulting. We’re also passionate about helping businesses elevate their employer brand and company culture, ensuring they attract—and keep—the very best.

 

If you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur.
