How to automate your recruitment and win back valuable time

Image: Supplied If you're an employer, the volume of applications flooding in can be overwhelming. And if you're a job seeker, the endless waiting and lack of updates can quickly turn hope into frustration. Between paperwork, follow-ups, and interviews, it's easy for things to fall through the cracks. But the good news? High-volume Recruitment is revamping. And for many South Africans, it's becoming smoother and more efficient. Automation has become a recruitment lifeline. Thanks to recruitment automation, what used to be a frustrating, slow, and paper-heavy process is now faster, simpler, and more accessible - specifically on your phone. Whether you're chasing your next opportunity or racing to fill a vacancy, recruitment automation is reshaping the journey - for the better. Keep talent engaged 24/7 with automated chatbots Recruitment isn't a 9-to-5 job anymore. Candidates apply at all hours, especially younger, mobile-savvy applicants - but recruiters can't always respond instantly. Now imagine applying for a job and getting a reply immediately, even at night or on a weekend. One of these automations are HR chatbots. Often integrated with WhatsApp or web browsers, other chatbots are designed to operate 24/7. They greet applicants, answer common questions, collect application details, and provide immediate feedback. You might already use WhatsApp daily to chat with friends, now companies use it to connect with candidates. The result? Higher completion rates Faster screening Stronger engagement Better candidate experiences For job seekers, it means instant replies and less confusion. For employers, it's a more responsive and reliable recruitment process. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ No more ghosting - from either side. One of the biggest frustrations in recruitment? Silence. Candidates apply and never hear back. On the flip side, recruiters lose great applicants who vanish mid-process. Automation helps keep the conversation flowing. Forgot to upload a document? Missed an interview? Automated reminders and smart follow-ups nudge candidates to help them stay on track, without adding more admin to your teams. It's efficient, friendly, and makes the process more human, not less. More completed applications upfront mean fewer delays and less frustration for all. Filter fast, focus better For every vacancy, hundreds of CVs flood into recruiters' inboxes. Reviewing them manually is time-consuming and often overwhelming. Good candidates get missed. Unqualified ones slip through. Automation flips the script. Automated screening helps by filtering applicants based on location, experience, or qualifications. The benefits? Stronger shortlists Faster decisions Less waiting for everyone It's not about cutting corners, it's about getting to the right people faster. That way, employers get to the most relevant candidates faster, and applicants aren't left waiting weeks to find out if they got the job. The future of recruitment is fast, human, and automated Finding the right job, or the right person for the job, shouldn't be slow, frustrating, or unfair. Thanks to smart recruitment platforms like txthr by graylink, it doesn't have to be. With features like: An always-on WhatsApp chatbot to engage candidates 24/7 Automated CV screening to fast-track shortlisting Smart follow-ups to reduce drop-off EE-aligned workflows that support compliance Real-time dashboards that help recruiters hire better Employers can recruit faster, reduce admin headaches, and focus on building relationships, not chasing paperwork. Job seekers benefit from quicker responses, clearer communication, and a smoother, mobile-friendly experience that meets them where they are. Automation isn't about replacing people. It's about making recruitment smarter, more inclusive, and more human. Because when hiring works better, everyone wins.

Major vehicle assembly plant opens up in Durban

A popular car manufacturer has opened its largest vehicle assembly in South Africa, right along the sunny shores of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Mahindra South Africa officially inaugurated its new vehicle assembly plant on 12 August at Durban's Dube TradePort's Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The launch marks a major expansion in the country's automotive manufacturing landscape. This purpose-built facility, adjacent to Mahindra's original 2018 assembly site, replaces the semi-knocked-down (SKD) setup and enables full nuts-and-bolts assembly of the Pik Up range (both single- and double-cab variants). With capacity to assemble over 1 000 vehicles per month, the plant is designed for flexibility and future growth, including accommodating new models and increasing local component sourcing. The launch was attended by eThekwini Mayor Cyril Xaba, KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Economic Development Musa Zondi, Mahindra South Africa CEO Rajesh Gupta, and other dignitaries. Mayor Xaba described the move as a new chapter in local manufacturing, particularly in the automotive sector. This new Durban plant also coincides with Mahindra entering its third decade in South Africa. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

South Africa just opened a brand-NEW vehicle factory

News of a brand-new vehicle factory opening its doors in South Africa may come as a bit of a shock if you've only been listening to the doom-mongers. Donald Trump's 30% trade tariffs can move aside, because as of this week, South Africa is home to a brand-new vehicle factory. Situated in the Dube TradePort Special Economic Zone in KwaZulu-Natal, the new vehicle factory belongs to Indian giant, Mahindra South Africa. And the brand says the new facility marks a major step in the brand's 30-year journey in South Africa. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in Durban this week. Image: Mahindra South Africa Designed and built to Mahindra's rigorous global standards, the vehicle factory represents a significant scale-up in both capacity expansion and quality control systems. 'As demand for our locally assembled Pik Up bakkie continues to rise, we needed a facility with the scale, flexibility, and technology to meet future growth,' said Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa. The Durban-based facility has the capacity to assemble over 1 000 Pik Up single- and double-cab bakkies per month. Moreover, the vehicle factory also offers the flexibility to accommodate new models Mahindra may wish to introduce in the coming years. Better still, Mahindra has been working with local suppliers to identify opportunities for greater part localisation and job creation. Mayor Cyril Xaba spoke at the opening ceremony. Image: Mahindra South Africa 'South Africa is a cornerstone market in Mahindra's international growth strategy. A new vehicle factory here strengthens our regional manufacturing capabilities in Africa. This investment underscores our confidence in South Africa as a manufacturing base globally. And it reflects our commitment to creating jobs and supporting South African customers,' concluded Rajesh. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
