To add your CV to our database, please fill in the form on our CV Submission page. Importantly, please make sure you attach your CV and any relevant qualifications. Your information will then be stored in our database and our recruiters can refer back to your information when a suitable position becomes available.
No, of course not! AltGen is compliant with the POPIA and GDPR regulations. This means we can’t and won’t send your information to our clients without receiving permission from you to do so. Also…it’s important for us to know if you have been submitted for the same vacancy by another recruitment agency. View our Privacy Policy and POPI Policy.
We provide our clients with a premium recruitment service. This could be when their internal capacity doesn’t allow them to effectively manage the recruitment process, or their expansion requires a level of privacy from competitors in the market. For that reason, AltGen acts as the representative on behalf of the client to undergo their recruitment activities. Click here to view our jobs.
Once you apply for a job, your CV and any other documents you submitted will go through to the recruiter working the specific role. They will then work through it to make sure it matches the requirements of the job. If you meet all the requirements, our recruiters will be in touch with you and we will start the process of submitting you to our client once we have your permission. If you do not hear back from us within 10 days, you can consider your application unsuccessful. However, do continue to keep your eye on our job board and our LinkedIn page as something suitable may become available!
AltGen does not always stipulate the full requirements of the role for various reasons. Thus, our recruitment team will carefully screen all applicants in accordance with the client’s full scope of requirements. AltGen ensures that our clients only receive the topmost suited candidates. Therefore, we are not always able to submit all professionals who apply. Click here to view our current vacancies.
Unfortunately not – as the job market can be volatile. However, apply for any job that you meet the requirements for, as this will bring our recruiters attention to you. Alternatively, submit your CV through our website to add it to our database for our recruiters to refer to.

We can’t provide you with an exact answer. The length of time largely depends on the available candidates and a client’s recruitment process. However, once we have conducted our job analysis with you and our T&C’s have been signed, it typically takes us a few days to find candidates and evaluate their suitability for your vacancy. You will receive between 3-5 strong profiles from us. Interviews can take place once you’ve shortlisted the preferred candidates. It is vital that we work collaboratively for a smooth, quick, and effective recruitment process. We do our best to ensure you have the best candidate for your vacancy at the end of our engagement.
