Swift International Human Resources

SIHR provides Employer of Record solutions for international companies wanting to employ talent in South Africa without establishing their own local legal entity.

We become the legal employer of the South African employee while the client continues to manage their day-to-day responsibilities, performance and business objectives. Our team manages the local employment administration, including employment contracts, onboarding, payroll, statutory deductions, benefits administration, employee support and industrial relations matters.

Our EOR solution is suited to companies in the UK, Europe, North America, Canada, Australia, the UAE and other international markets that want to enter South Africa, test a new market or build a remote team without taking on the time and cost of establishing a local entity.

South Africa offers access to a diverse, English-speaking talent pool across professional, technical, administrative and support roles. Competitive employment costs, favourable time-zone overlap and a familiar business culture also make the country an attractive option for international employers.

We have a workforce experience dating back to 1987. Our understanding of South African employment practices, payroll and industrial relations allows us to provide practical local support throughout the employment relationship.

Clients have a single point of contact who works with them from onboarding and monthly payroll through to employee queries and ongoing HR matters. This creates a more personal and responsive EOR partnership for both the international employer and the South African employee.

We make it easier to build a team in South Africa while we manage the local employment responsibilities.
