Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

It's easy to get started. Simply sign up, complete your profile, then start applying to jobs.

Your profile should be authentic and highlight your specific skill set. After you've completed the steps to optimize your profile around your strengths and abilities, you can begin browsing jobs on our platform and apply to as many as you'd like, completely free with no limits.

Employers may also reach out to you directly regarding open roles, so make sure to regularly check your inbox. You never know when the right opportunity might come your way!

Ensure your profile is completed and up to date. Take the time and write out your profile description. Show employers your best skills and what makes you valuable.

Add a professional photo to your profile picture. Must show your real face with preferably a solid background. Typically your Linkedin headshot works well for this. We will not accept heavily edited or blurred pictures. If you're having trouble uploading your picture, contact us at hello@hiresa.com and we'll be there to help!

Add a realistic salary expectation. It must be in US dollars and correspond with the kind of work you do. Remember to aim for a balance, you don't want to undervalue your skills, but setting expectations too high can discourage employers from reaching out.

If you are in a creative/design profession (graphic designer, video editor, web designer), be sure to add your portfolio to your profile. Employers will not take you seriously if they don't see one.

No, but a good video will significantly increase your chances of getting interviewed. First impressions are everything and a great intro video will certainly put you ahead of the competition.

We recommend you come prepared with the basic work from home equipment such as a computer, webcamera, and stable internet. If you're in a town with unreliable power or internet, we recommend investing in a generator and/or letting your employer know there may be outages.

Make sure your profile is complete, your intro video is uploaded, and your skills are up to date. The more complete your profile, the higher your chances of getting noticed by employers.

Working & Getting Paid

Yes! Think of this as a regular job with regular time off and vacation time. The only difference is you'll be working fully remote for an international company.

Your employer may ask you to observe their countries holidays or South Africas. A lot of time it's your employers first time hiring a South African, so ask your employer for the same amount of sick days and vacation time they would give their other employees.

Absolutely! The jobs posted on our site are all for remote positions. You work from the comfort of your home giving you the flexibility you need while earning great salaries.

Quick note: this does mean you'll need to come prepared with reliable internet, computer, desk, and all of the basic things.

All payments are between you and your employers. We don't manage payments or contracts. Most of the time employers will use a Contractor of Record service to facilitate payment and HR management (offered by platforms like Deel, Multiplier, or Rippling). However, sometimes it'll just be through PayPal.

This depends on what you and your employer agree on.

Many businesses in the US will pay their employees every two weeks or monthly. Be sure to ask your employer about their payment schedule before beginning work.

We recommend you ask them for weekly payments when just starting out to protect both you and your employer.

If the job doesn't work out, then weekly payments save you from doing two weeks or a month's work without pay.

After the two of you establish trust, then we recommend switching to a more flexible payment schedule that the two of you are comfortable with.

Because we don't handle payments on our platform, we're not able to step in or mediate payment disputes between workers and employers.

While there isn't much we can do if payment has already been missed, we suggest setting up weekly payments at the start of any new role to help avoid this situation in the future. This way, if things don't work out, you're not risking an entire month of unpaid time and effort.

From the employer's perspective, this approach also helps them avoid paying a full month upfront, which is another method some remote workers use for protection, only to have the worker disappear or fail to meet expectations.

As trust builds between both sides, you can always revisit the payment structure and move to bi-weekly or monthly arrangements if that suits everyone involved.

That said, even though we don't directly handle payment disputes, you're still encouraged to report any issues to us.

If an employer receives multiple complaints and is found to be misusing the platform, we will take action, including banning them, to help protect you and other remote workers.

About HireSA

Since we've just launched, we're focusing on sales, customer success/service, administrative, creative, and marketing roles. However, you're encouraged to create a profile for any role that can be done remotely. This includes leadership roles as well:)

Yes, you should have at least conversational english skills and writing skills. The vast majority of employers are from English speaking countries (US, Canada, UK, Australia) and they are hiring in South Africa because English is widely spoken here.

There's a few reasons! First we don't discourage you from applying elsewhere, but there are a few perks on HireSA that you won't find anywhere else.

Here's the short of it:

  • No fees for you (unlike other job platforms)
  • No ongoing fees for your employer
  • No third party managers limiting pay or benefits
  • Get to work for international companies with high growth potential and job security
  • We are connected to some of the leading startups, agencies, entrepreneurs, and influencers. We don't do generic marketing, we work off of organic referrals from some of the best business networks in the US and UK.

The vast majority of international companies are located in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia. However, HireSA is global and is open to many different regions.

HireSA is built for South African workers. Our employers come to us with the expectation they'll be hiring South Africans. Therefore, we only allow South African nationals/citizens.

We sure do! We're working on a training page for best tips on how to ace an interview and get hired. If you have a recommendation for training or tips, email us at hello@hiresa.com.
