With a dedicated team of industry-focused recruiters, CA Mining bridges the gap between technical talent and companies that need niche expertise.

Whether supporting a new project, an expansion, or a critical leadership hire, CA Mining offers tailored recruitment solutions that are grounded in sector knowledge rather than generic hiring processes.

CA Mining primarily serves organisations in the mining, energy, and engineering sectors, as well as professionals working in geology, engineering, project management, HSE, operations, finance, and leadership roles within these industries. Clients range from emerging players to established multinationals who need a trusted recruitment partner that understands local African markets and international standards. Candidates turn to CA Mining when they are looking for informed guidance, confidentiality, and access to opportunities that are not always advertised publicly.

Services & Specialties

At its core, CA Mining provides a comprehensive talent acquisition service tailored to the resource and industrial sectors. The company offers a Contingency Placement service, ideal for clients that want a flexible, success-based recruitment model. In this model, CA Mining builds a carefully curated shortlist of candidates who have been sourced, screened, and assessed against the client’s specific criteria. Clients only pay an agreed fee once a successful placement has been made, which makes this service suitable for a wide range of mid-level to senior technical and functional roles.

For critical leadership roles and highly specialised positions, CA Mining delivers a premium Retained and Executive Search service. This bespoke solution is designed for organisations that require a deeply consultative approach, rigorous market mapping, and discreet headhunting. A dedicated consultant oversees the full executive search process, from understanding the business strategy and role requirements to identifying, approaching, and evaluating high-calibre candidates who may not be actively on the market. Throughout, confidentiality and professionalism are prioritised.

Beyond individual assignments, CA Mining positions itself as a global partner in talent acquisition for mining, energy, and engineering clients. The team offers strategic market navigation, taking ownership of the recruitment cycle and proactively headhunting talent in local and international markets. With a strong focus on screening and assessment, CA Mining works to ensure that shortlisted candidates not only meet the technical requirements of a role but are also aligned with organisational culture, operating conditions, and long-term growth plans. The business also supports clients and professionals with insights into HR and mobility considerations in these complex industries.
