Most recruiters don't work in your world.

You hired someone. Six weeks in, a council dispute lands on your desk because the wage or job grade is wrong.

The employee wasn't registered with MIBCO on time. Now you're dealing with a back-pay claim and a recruiter who has no idea why.

You've spent weeks interviewing candidates who looked right on paper but weren't close to what you needed in a workshop environment.

"They screen CVs. They send candidates. They take their fee. MIBCO compliance, job grading, wage schedules — that's your problem. It shouldn't be."

Full Execution

Every step handled by industry experts.

We assign the correct MIBCO grade before we advertise.

Before we write a single job post, we confirm the correct MIBCO grade for the role. That determines the wage band, the employment conditions, and your council obligations. Get this wrong at the start and it cascades — underpayments, back-pay claims, council disputes. We fix it at the source.

We source from the motor industry network.

Our network is built from years of training and compliance work inside the SA motor sector. We know artisans, service advisors, parts managers, and technical specialists who are already industry-aware. You don't get candidates who need to learn what a workshop is.

We structure the offer before it goes out.

Most recruiters hand you a CV and step back. We stay involved through offer stage — advising on CTC structure, contract terms, and MIBCO registration — so the employment relationship is correctly set up before the candidate walks in on Monday.

The Execution Engine

Internal HR teams rarely have the bandwidth to run sourcing, background checks, and compliance checks simultaneously.

"We slot in as the execution engine — your team stays in control, we do the legwork."

Success-Based Fees. You Pay When You Hire.

No retainers. No upfront costs. You pay when the right candidate accepts and starts. Our fees range from 10% to 15% of annual CTC depending on the role level.

Guarantee / Trust

90-Day Replacement Guarantee.

If the hire doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we replace at no additional cost. That's our confidence in the work. It should be yours too.

Authority / Compliance

MIBCO Compliance Built-In.

Every placement is backed by a full understanding of the MIBCO Agreement. We grade roles correctly, structure offers within wage bands, and set up council levies from day one.

"Everything's up to date, I get regular updates, and I don't even have to think about it. It just works."

Before Three One Solutions, I was stressed. My MIBCO account wasn't up to date, communication was a mess. Now? Completely handled.

No commitment required. We'll confirm the grade, scope the role, and tell you exactly what the process looks like before you sign anything.

Questions before we start sourcing.

Once we receive a role brief and sign a service agreement, we begin sourcing within 48 hours. Initial shortlists are typically delivered within 5–10 business days depending on role complexity.
Any role within a MIBCO-registered employer — technical, workshop, parts, service, sales, marketing, operations, and administrative. We also recruit for senior and management roles across motor industry businesses.
Our 90-day replacement guarantee means we run a full replacement search at no additional cost if the hire resigns or is dismissed for performance reasons within the first 90 days. You just need to have settled the original invoice.
A generalist recruiter sources candidates and checks CVs. We do that — and we also confirm the MIBCO job grade, structure the offer within the correct wage band, advise on the employment contract, and ensure council levies are set up on day one. No other recruiter in South Africa offers MIBCO compliance advisory as a standard part of the placement fee.
No. We work with independent workshops, single-franchise dealerships, multi-brand operators, and large motor groups. The service scales to the size of the hire, not the size of the business.
A job description or a brief conversation about the role is enough to get started. We'll handle the MIBCO grading and compliance scoping from there.

The motor industry runs on
the right people.

Make sure yours are compliant from day one.

ThreeOneSolutions places candidates who are correctly graded, correctly compensated, and correctly registered — so the hire that solves your problem today doesn't create a compliance problem tomorrow.
