About Us

Crayon was founded in 2018 with a clear goal: to fix hiring. Make it faster, smarter, and affordable enough for startups, scale-ups, and ambitious businesses across South Africa and beyond.

After years of learning what recruiters and employers really need, we built something different, an all-in-one hiring platform that connects every part of the journey. Crayon is Africa’s only fully integrated jobs board, ATS, network referral system, and bounty tracker. All connected, all automated.

With over 160,000 candidates on the platform, we are well on our way to our bold goal of connecting one million smiles by 2030.

Testimonials

My experience with Crayon has been absolutely wonderful. Setting up an account is simple and fun, and knowing your personality profile is quite amazing. The application process is easy, and the constant updates on your progress are very useful. The account manager was such a nice person to converse with. Going through the entire process, I knew I could reach out to the Crayon team.

Nontsikelelo Bangisi Growth Lead

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Erica on finding me a role, and she did not disappoint. She kept me informed and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Crayon, whether you are sourcing for a company or seeking a new role.

Bernard Louw Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Far easier to use than your competitors, far more cost-effective, intuitive, creatively quite unique, touching on challenges people don’t even know they have. Always loved the platform's personality, and the video is a massive plus and time-saver. I like that there are different tiered options and the ability to bring in your recruitment team if needed.
