Talent Acquisition Services
That Put Quality First
Four ways to find, assess, and build exceptional teams. All built on trust, referrals, and a genuine commitment to the right hire over the easy one.
Our Talent Acquisition Services
Most talent acquisition strategies rely on volume. Post a job, collect CVs, and hope the right person is somewhere in the pile. Vouched takes a different approach. We believe the best hires come from trusted networks, not job boards.
Referral Recruitment
Our flagship talent acquisition service. Every candidate we submit has been personally endorsed by a trusted professional in our network. You receive a curated shortlist of three to six profiles, not a pile of CVs.
• Access passive talent that job boards cannot reach
• Pay only when you hire, with no retainers or upfront fees
• Backed by a longer-than-standard placement guarantee
• Shortlist typically delivered within days of activating the network
Psychometric Assessments
Administered by a registered Industrial Psychologist with a published Master's thesis on psychometric assessments. You receive interpreted, actionable insight into cognitive ability, personality, and motivations. You do not just get raw scores.
• Available as a standalone service or alongside referral recruitment
• Tailored to the role, level, and specific hiring context
• Supports Employment Equity compliance and defensible selection
• Powerful for both selection decisions and team development
Employee Referral Platform
Your team knows your culture better than any recruiter. Our employee referral platform makes it easy for employees to refer people they know, track progress in real time, and earn rewards when those referrals become hires.
• Fast, mobile-friendly referral submission for all employees
• Structured talent pool that retains every referral for future matching
• Clear incentive management and real-time status visibility
• Reporting tools so HR can see what is working
Recruitment Process Outsourcing
When you need volume, speed, or broader coverage, our recruitment process outsourcing service manages traditional hiring through trusted partner agencies. You get wider reach without the coordination overhead.
• Run in parallel with referral recruitment for maximum coverage
• Managed through vetted agency partners we know and trust
• Success-based pricing: you only pay when a placement is made
• Ideal for high-volume, entry-level, or time-sensitive roles

What Employers Often Ask
What makes Vouched different from other recruitment agencies?
Our approach is simple – referrals are not utilised as much as it should be. But we are aware that the best candidate might not be referred, and needs to be found. With our offerings, we enable companies to find the best talent available and make the right decisions.
Do we need to choose one service, or can they be combined?
Each service works on its own, but they are designed to work better together. Clients combine referral recruitment with psychometrics for critical hires, or run referral recruitment alongside RPO to balance quality and coverage.
What does it cost to work with Vouched?
Our services are primarily success-based. For referral recruitment and RPO, you only pay when you hire. Other services, like the employee referral platform or psychometrics, can be used standalone depending on your needs. We’ll align the structure to your hiring model.
What happens if there are no suitable candidates in your network?
We will keep you updated as often as possible. If we do not believe we can deliver the right candidate through our network, we won’t waste your time. You’re then free to activate other channels immediately.
How quickly can we expect results?
We start with our existing referred talent pool while simultaneously activating the network for new referrals. If suitable candidates already exist, you can expect a shortlist within a few days. Timelines for other services depend on the role, but we prioritise speed without compromising quality.
