Executive Appointments

Our consultants at Ribton-Turner are skilled in finding the candidate that not only has the required skills, competencies and experience for the appointment, but also fits the organisation's culture and value system.

Furthermore, since Dr Ribton-Turner is a registered Industrial Psychologist we are able to assess the candidate using psychological tests, questionnaires, or an appropriate battery of assessments which are accepted for use in South Africa. We select and place high-potential leadership candidates and this positions our clients for long-term prosperity and competitive advantage.

Our process includes a personal face to face debriefing from the client, search activities to attract appropriate candidates; screening; in-depth interviews, management skills assessments, reference and qualification checking and final presentation to the client of qualified candidates. 

Freight Recruitment

Ribton-Turner specialises in placements in this market; industry sub-sectors include shipping and airlines, clearing and forwarding agents, international courier, exporters and importers, trading houses, logistics operators, supply chain providers and road transportation companies. In your communication with our consultants you will find that they understand your specialised 'jargon' and requirements as well as your industry's culture.

We recruit for all levels of staff in these markets including clerical, technical, management and director - level appointments. Our unique advantage lies in our in-depth understanding and knowledge of the freight industry's specialities and complexities, our close client relationships and partnering philosophy. Typical job specifications that we handle would include Customs Entry Clerks, Airfreight and Seafreight Controllers, customer services staff, freight estimators and external sales and services staff.

Office Support

In supplying our Freight and Logistics clients with a complete recruitment service, in addition to sourcing executive, managerial and operational staff, we offer recruitment of office support personnel. This includes staff for reception, sales and executive secretaries and administration staff.

Financial

Again we offer a service which includes the recruitment and search across the spectrum for clerks (creditors and debtors), credit controllers, bookkeepers, accountants, senior executive managers and financial directors, where possible with the appropriate industry background.

Logistics Graduates/School Leavers

These appointments have increased in importance within the Freight and Logistics Industry due to the chronic shortage of Specialist skills. Psychometric testing is invaluable with this group to gauge learning potential and commitment and prevent a high turnover of unsuited staff. We focus on these placements at year end / New Year when the new graduates / school leavers are job seeking and place others throughout the year.

Temporary Staff

Ribton-Turner recognises world and local trends towards using contract and temporary employment services, and the need for flexibility in staffing services to combat peak and low periods of business. Besides supplying temporary staff we also offer a temporary to permanent service whereby you may wish to employ the 'temp' on a permanent basis after the temporary contract expires.  Our temporary service offers you a fully qualified and suitable staff member to assist you in your critical periods.  Our concise and clear contracts ensure that there are no misrepresentations or misunderstandings with regards to the temporary status of the contractor / temporary worker.
