The research also looked at recruitment per location and it shows that Gauteng still

“Just over 30 percent of job offers are in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. International work opportunities remain at 3 percent,” reads the report.
According to the report, demand for admin, office and support professionals has more than doubled in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal since 2020.
