You’ll also be able to create a 60-second or less profile video about instead of relying only on written information to get noticed.
Employers
Taking the stress out of recruiting for new roles

With one-click, employers will be able to invite all the jobseekers on their wall to apply for the roles they are recruiting for.

About the founder
CrackerJack’s founder and CEO, Hennie du Toit, has a background in Law covering Debt and
Equity Capital Markets. He’s worked as a consultant lawyer advising major banks in London’s
Canary Wharf on complex structured products, debt instruments and capital markets
transactions listed on the world’s primary stock exchanges. He has first-hand experience
around the challenges of the hiring process.
“When I first came to London, I remember how difficult it was to find a job, fulltime,
part time or even just projects. It felt like there were so many opportunities, but
nobody wanted to give you a chance. I just couldn’t break into the market. Recruiters
had every excuse why I was not right for a position. Eventually, I was lucky and got
a break, being at the right place at the right time, with a law firm who was able to
spot my skills from my CV. Since then I’ve never looked back.
When I started consulting for the major banks in the city, I also noted the challenges
around hiring the right candidates. Somehow, opportunities never reached the right
candidates or just a limited few. The result was that massive amount of time, effort
and money was being wasted on the wrong candidates. I felt that there had to be a way
to reach more candidates that have the potential to do the job. This was when I knew
something had to change. I decided to create CrackerJack.”
