Take back control of your hiring – with a recruiter who does things differently.

Hi, I’m Michèle van der Westhuizen 👋

After 14+ years in engineering and technical recruitment, I’ve decided to launch my own venture: Not-Recruitment.com.

The name might sound intriguing, but the idea is simple: I help leaders and HR teams fill critical roles faster, with better candidates, and without the bloated fees of traditional agencies.

Agencies lock you out, charge 15–25% of salary, and send generic CVs. Job boards drown you in unqualified applicants.

I do the opposite. I handle the heavy lifting of sourcing and pre-screening tailored candidates. Then – uniquely – I hand the reins to you.

You lead the interviews, salary negotiations, and protect your employer brand by building direct rapport with candidates – all while saving significantly on fees.

What you get:
You save time – We handle sourcing & pre-screening (3-5 quality candidates)
You save money – Flat fees – as low as a fraction of agency costs (capped at R147k even for R3.6M executives)
You stay in control – Direct candidate relationships from day one
You hire faster – Typical turnaround 2–6 weeks

In today’s economic climate, I believe companies deserve a smarter, more affordable way to hire top talent without compromising on quality or control.

Let’s talk! If you have any upcoming hiring needs – now or in the near future – I’d be delighted to help.
