Traditional recruitment models are breaking down. Recruitment process outsourcing, offshoring and the creative use of social media are the future and companies that ignore these 21st trends do so at their peril.

3 Steps
Vincent Baasch UK Client Director
Vincent's track record in recruitment spans the UK and South Africa. After completing an MBA from South Africa's leading business school, Vincent's career in recruitment started in 1995 with Morgan & Banks in Sydney. He returned to South Africa to start his own recruitment business and together with his sister Heidi created Accounts on Call, which rapidly became the leading financial recruitment company in Cape Town. Accountants on Call was sold to Manpower in 2003 and after moving to the UK Vincent started a new sports drink called Taut, which by 2007 was listed in over 2,500 UK outlets including Tesco and Waitrose. After the sale of Taut to an LSE listed UK drinks company, Vincent returned to recruitment, joining Manpower in their London City office in January 2010. He is now looking forward to combining his passion for start ups with his recruitment experience and the amazing off shoring opportunities South Africa presents.

After seven years Accountants on Call was sold to Manpower in 2003 and Heidi remained with the company for a further three years, opening a new branch in Johannesburg. In 2007 she joined Voice Recruitment, specialising in call centre recruitment to support this growing industry in South Africa.
