Business model Traditional recruitment companies operate on a ´do-all´ basis whereby one person, typically the account manager, is responsible for finding opportunities, finding candidates, making sales, managing customers and consultant relationships.

JMR´s model separates three key functions, allowing for increased overall effectiveness as follows:

JMR´s business model is designed to ensure rapid response in finding and matching outstanding candidates to customer requirements. It also allows for specific individuals to focus on customer and consultant relationships, thereby ensuring excellent service delivery. Company personnel have 20+ years experience in the IT recruitment and resourcing business.
Domain Expertise JMR´s roots can be traced to the legacy market in which the company´s knowledge is unparalleled. The business has witnessed and survived the IT industry´s diversification into new technologies and has developed expertise in many vertical markets as illustrated below. A key strength is the ability to source ´hard to find´ people.

The extent of JMR´s knowledge of these vertical markets is reflected in the company´s skills matrix that may be viewed on www.jmr.co.za. This matrix is dynamically updated daily as new personnel join the database.

Compliance JMR (Pty) Ltd employs the services of an independent Industrial Relations Consultancy, namely LabourNet (www.labournet.com) to stay abreast of labour legislation. All employee and customer contracts are vetted by LabourNet before signature. LabourNet also deal with employee disputes, disciplinary hearings and associated HR issues. This association allows JMR to rather focus on making customers successful and keeping employees happy and motivated.
