Job Mail joined the APSO Recruitment & Staffing Conference

Job Mail had the privilege to attend the annual APSO Recruitment & Staffing Conference on 28 June 2019 at the Wanderers Club in Illovo, Johannesburg.

This interactive event created an opportunity for all the key players in the recruitment industry to get together and share their challenges and solutions. It was also an excellent opportunity to build new partnerships.

APSO’s aim is to strive toward the formalisation and professionalisation of the South African staffing industry.

It is also a founding member of the South African Confederation of Associates in Private Employment Sector (CAPES), the South African Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SACCI), and the Ethics Institute of South Africa.
