How we get it done:

  • Before we find you talent, we get aligned on your goals, timelines, budget, and the type of creative firepower you’re after. It’s not just about matching a job description, it’s about understanding what will actually move the needle for your business. We position ourselves as strategic hiring partners to make sure you find the right fit, someone who helps you grow, scale, and elevate your creative output while saving on costs.

  • Once aligned, we immediately hit the ground running. Within a week, we source, vet, and pipeline a shortlist of top-tier candidates for your review - fast enough to keep momentum, thorough enough to avoid bad fits. You’ll get a clear snapshot of each candidate so you can make quick but informed decisions. From there, we facilitate intros or guide candidates through skill tests to ensure you're only meeting the best of the bunch.

  • Hiring contractors internationally can feel complex, but we make it simple. We consult on South African contractor compliance laws to help you structure contracts that are sound and compliant for our local freelancers. Whether you're using your own agreements or need a starting point, we provide contract templates and guidance to ensure everything’s above board from day one.

  • Once you’ve found the right fit, we support a smooth handover from candidate to collaborator. We help with formal placement, including expectation management and wage consulting to make sure your new South African creative is set up to hit the ground running. We stick around to smooth out the onboarding process so your project gets off to a strong, seamless start.

  • Our commitment doesn’t end with placement. We believe in long-term partnerships, not one-off transactions. We check in to make sure both you and your new creative are thriving, and if anything’s off, just drop us a “howzit.” We’re always here to help, and our free rehire policy means you’re never stuck if things don’t work out. Your success is our success, and we’re in it for the long haul.

Why South Africa?

Here’s the Real Deal:

If you’re looking to tap into fresh, world-class creative talent, South Africa is where the magic happens. This isn’t just hype… It’s a fact backed by numbers and real stories.

Creative Powerhouse

South Africa’s creative scene is bursting with diversity, resilience, and global talent. Our creatives have proven themselves on international stages time and again. From design and video editing to content creation and more, the talent here isn’t just skilled, it’s battle-tested and ready to deliver.

Economic Potential

In South Africa, over a million creative jobs are driving a serious GDP impact. But despite this, local unemployment remains high. That means there’s a massive pool of freelancers who have been freelancing internationally for over two decades. This surplus of talent is waiting to be connected with the right opportunities.

The Opportunity

This is where global demand meets local supply. The currency exchange rates are seriously misaligned, which creates a sweet spot for businesses worldwide. You get access to top-tier creatives at a fraction of the usual cost, creating a true win-win situation.

Howzit Hire

HowzitHire is all about making affordable, efficient freelance outsourcing easy. No fuss, no headaches, just straightforward connections to the best South African creative talent for whatever project you need.
