Services & Specialties

Acuity Consultants offers a focused range of IT and tech recruitment services designed around the needs of modern technology teams. Their consultants work across software development recruitment, from frontend and backend engineering to full-stack and mobile roles, as well as data and analytics recruitment for data engineers, BI specialists, analysts, and related positions. The firm is equally strong in DevOps and cloud engineering recruitment, supporting clients who are building cloud-native, automated environments, and in project and programme management recruitment for businesses that need experienced leaders to deliver complex technology initiatives.

What sets Acuity Consultants apart in the Cape Town tech recruitment market is the depth of screening and the focus on quality shortlists. Instead of flooding clients with CVs, their recruiters take a targeted approach, presenting a small number of carefully matched candidates for each role. Every introduction is based on an assessment of technical capability, motivation, and cultural fit, ensuring that both client and candidate see a realistic, well-considered match. For job seekers, this means being put forward for roles that genuinely fit their skills and values; for employers, it means saving time and reaching the right people faster.

Beyond core recruitment, Acuity Consultants brings global tech hiring insight to each engagement. With experience across local and international markets, the team advises on role definitions, realistic requirements, and hiring strategies that work in competitive talent environments. Their consultants maintain long-standing relationships with both candidates and clients, which helps them anticipate needs, identify opportunities, and build tech teams that can scale.
