Vettam recruits artisans and technical professionals — millwrights, boilermakers, fitters, electricians, welders and more — and verifies them before they reach you. You interview a focused shortlist of people who already meet the brief, instead of screening a stack of CVs yourself.
Technical recruitment requires more than matching keywords on a CV.
A millwright, electrician, boilermaker or fitter needs the right qualification, practical experience, technical capability and site readiness. Getting that wrong costs more than a wasted interview — it costs downtime.
That's why Vettam's recruitment process goes beyond the CV.
A CV tells you what someone says. We verify what we can prove. Every profile is checked against this framework — which checks apply depends on the role, trade and client requirement, so not every item is relevant to every placement.
Candidate identity confirmed against official documentation.
Trade qualification, Trade Test Certificate (QCTO / merSETA) or relevant ticket checked against source.
Career history reviewed for relevant trade, industry and role experience.
Previous employers or supervisors contacted directly, where available.
Trade knowledge assessed through a structured technical conversation.
Hands-on ability assessed where the role and trade require it.
Notice period, location, mobility and role expectations confirmed before shortlisting.
Traditional recruitment usually means working through the problem yourself, after the agency has already sent everything they have.
We only recruit for artisans and technical roles — which is why the trade categories below, not a generic jobs list, are how we organise our database.
Qualified artisans and technical professionals for permanent positions.
Flexible technical staffing where clients require temporary or contract support.
Support for larger projects, shutdowns and periods of increased workforce demand.
For clients needing multiple skilled workers across a project, site or operation.
A millwright on a mine and a millwright in an FMCG plant work differently. We place people who already understand the environment they're walking into.
Six steps, built around one idea: verify before you shortlist, not after.
We clarify the trade, technical requirements, experience, industry, site requirements and availability.
We identify suitable candidates from our talent network and sourcing channels.
Candidates are screened against the role requirements.
Relevant qualifications, experience, references, technical capability and site-readiness requirements are checked.
You receive candidates who meet the agreed brief.
You interview the candidates you want to meet and make the final hiring decision.
Typically a small, focused shortlist rather than every available CV — the aim is candidates worth interviewing, not a volume of options.
Identity, qualification, employment history, references, technical screening, practical competency, safety and site readiness, and availability — see the full breakdown above.
Turnaround depends on the trade and how scarce that skill set is — readily available trades move faster, specialised or senior roles take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we understand the brief.
Yes — from a single specialist hire to bulk artisan recruitment for a project or shutdown.
Yes — permanent, contract or temporary, with the same verification process applied regardless of engagement type.
Tell us the trade, the site and the requirement using the form below. We'll take it from there.
Give us the trade, the site and the requirement, and we'll come back to you with a plan — and once we're working on it, a verified shortlist.
Vettam recruits for one part of the market — artisans and technical trades — and builds its screening, database and reputation around getting that right.
Our screening, our database and our brand are built around the trades. It's the one thing we do, and we do it properly.
You deal with the person handling your search, not a call centre. We stay close to the process on both sides.
We see recruitment as part of a wider talent journey, where skills, growth and long-term fit matter.
