Ad Talent

We have been identifying talent in the publishing, advertising, marketing and PR industries for 37 years. Our business is about identifying the best candidates in the industry and introducing them to companies, where they can make a significant, long-term contribution to the organization. We have shaped the careers of thousands of people who have added value to the organizations that have employed them. Our database consists of only the strongest candidates in their field. We have offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The company is owned and managed by women. 33% of the staff is from the BIC group. Ad Talent is well positioned, with each of the consultants having worked in their portfolio of recruitment before joining the company. Members of staff give of their free time and expertise to lecture to students or sit on executive committees in their particular field. We have an extensive database sourced over many years. Our database is representative of all population groups with approximately 70% from the BIC group. In addition to this, we send out a monthly newsletter to over 7000 industry subscribers.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Tucked between some council flats and shacks and a tiny informal barber shop is a pre-school, the Leratong School, Joy for One Foundation - a haven of hope, love, laughter and learning for 165 toddlers aged between 2 and 6 years.

Many of these children are HIV positive; their living conditions are utterly appalling; they live in one-roomed shacks with not even the basic of amenities and often with no parents. Many of them are being brought up by siblings as young as twelve and thirteen, who themselves are in dire need of support - physically, mentally, materially, emotionally and educationally. A seemingly hopeless situation, but since 2004, we have put ourselves behind raising funds, donating food, clothing, educational material and appealing to our vast network of clients and candidates to help wherever possible. Through all these combined efforts, we HAVE made a difference in these little lives and with continual help, we continue to do so. We believe that the future of our wonderful country is vested in providing the youth of SA with the best opportunities in health and education that they can get.
