Soylent Group Human Capital Request Staff

For employers

Hire, manage and pay your people without the overhead.

Whether you need one accountant or forty general hands, Soylent Group takes the recruitment, employment administration and statutory compliance off your desk — and remains accountable for the outcome.

Services

Choose the pieces you need.

Each service stands alone or combines into a fully managed people function. Pricing is quoted per engagement, so you only pay for what you actually use.

  • Shortlist typically within 72 hours
  • Qualification & reference verification

A complete HR department on retainer — documentation, policy, discipline and performance managed to a consistent standard.

Short, practical programmes delivered on your premises and measured against on-the-job behaviour.

An audit of your people documentation, the gaps closed, and representation when a matter goes to a hearing.

  • Labour Act compliance audits
  • Retrenchment and restructuring advisory
  • NEC, works council and hearing support

Engagement models

Four ways to work with us.

Pick the commercial arrangement that matches the problem. We will tell you honestly which one fits your situation best.

Contingency recruitment

Pay on placement. A percentage of annual package, invoiced only when your chosen candidate starts. Includes a replacement guarantee during probation. Best for single, well-defined vacancies.

Retained executive search

Staged fee. A committed, confidential search for senior and scarce-skill roles, with market mapping and a structured assessment report on each finalist.

Managed labour

Monthly rate per worker. We employ, pay and supervise the staff on your site. Wages, statutory contributions and replacements are all covered in one invoice.

HR retainer

Fixed monthly fee. An outsourced HR function sized to your headcount, including payroll, documentation, compliance and a set number of consultant days per month.

The standard

What every client gets, regardless of size.

We keep our client list deliberate rather than large. That is what makes the following possible on every single engagement.

  • A named account manager and a direct mobile number
  • Written service terms with defined turnaround times
  • Candidate notes that include our reservations, not just the sales pitch
  • Statutory returns filed before the deadline, with proof
  • Monthly reporting on headcount, cost and open vacancies

Questions

Frequently asked.

For most commercial and administrative roles we present a shortlist within 72 hours of an agreed brief, because we shortlist from an actively maintained database before going to the open market. Scarce technical and executive roles typically take two to four weeks.
Permanent placements carry a replacement guarantee. If the candidate leaves or is found unsuitable within the agreed probation window, we restart the search at no further professional fee.
Yes. On managed labour and payroll engagements we register the employees, calculate and remit PAYE, NSSA, ZIMDEF and applicable NEC contributions, and retain proof of submission on your behalf.
No minimum headcount. Recruitment can be a single vacancy. Retainer and managed labour agreements run on a three-month initial term, then month to month.
We are based in Eastlea, Harare and serve clients nationwide, including mining and agricultural operations in outlying provinces. Site visits are built into the service schedule where distance requires it.
