Samsung requires a more efficient way to secure high-quality talent without being overwhelmed by volume hiring. We support this by delivering a carefully curated selection of candidates who are both technically capable and culturally aligned, while staying involved from interview through onboarding. This approach continues to reduce hiring time, improve retention, and strengthen trust within their teams.
Stay informed with practical advice, expert commentary, and recruitment insights that help both candidates and employers make smarter decisions.

This pattern shows up in labour markets around the world. ManpowerGroup reports that 75% of employers globally struggle to find the skills they require. In South Africa, where Statistics South Africa puts unemployment above 32%, employers still report difficulty finding suitable candidates for critical roles.

LynneWaters Personnel is a workforce and HR partner for employers in South Africa and around the world. We work in three areas: permanent recruitment and executive search, contractor management and workforce solutions, and HR advisory and outsourced HR. You can use one service on its own or combine them as your business grows.
A typical agency fills a vacancy and moves on. We look at the whole people picture: who you need to hire, how your contract workforce is run, and whether your HR foundations, such as contracts, policies and performance processes, are in place. Since 2019 we have worked with organisations such as Nestlé, Sanlam, Santam, Samsung, PwC and Liberty.
We work across six industries: banking and financial services, insurance, professional services and consulting, telecommunications and technology, engineering and manufacturing, and legal and corporate services. We are based in Bryanston, Johannesburg, and support clients in South Africa and around the world.
Every search starts with a clear brief and success profile for the role. Candidates are screened against it, interviewed for competencies and, where needed, assessed with psychometric or technical tests. We also check qualifications, criminal records, right to work and references, in line with data protection law, including POPIA in South Africa.
