NES launches Cape Town office

NES Global Talent, the technical recruiter, has opened its first office in Cape Town, South Africa.

The office will act as NES’s regional hub for business activity across South East Africa with company registrations in Mozambique and Tanzania set to follow early next year.

The company, now owned by US-based firm AEA Investors, has 439 staff working in more than 30 offices in 21 countries.

Kenny Davies, major project sales director at NES Global Talent, said: “The opportunity in South Africa is very exciting with many new and existing clients having expressed an interest in working with us.

“Indeed, activity across the whole of South East Africa is ramping up, with sizable liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) discoveries being made in a number of countries including Mozambique and Tanzania. We’re looking forward to having a physical presence to keep pace with the region’s growing hiring demands.”

The Cape Town office will be managed locally by Etienne Swanepoel, a South African, who was previously based in NES Global Talent’s Perth office.
