Who are we?

SkillsRus is a one on one tailor made online platform that enables talent (Students & Graduates) and employers to connect with each other. Users can explore and connect with potential employers and discover careers opportunities, internships and bursaries.

Why Us?

According to recent studies, South African companies are seeing an increase in demand for high quality candidates as compared to previous years. 55% of respondents indicated that finding high quality candidates in a limited talent pool is a major obstacle for their companies and highlighted that company career pages and social media are important sources for attracting talent. SkillsRus has responded to this report and has created a tailor-made platform that closes this gap, connecting both employer and candidate and creating a perfect fit for any internships, bursaries and jobs.
