What it does
PNet’s candidate app combines South African vacancy discovery with saved roles, alerts and application history. Searches can use location, industry, experience-related keywords or a particular employer.
Register a CV on the PNet website before applying through the app. The same login connects that account with the mobile service, so the CV preparation is a prerequisite to the advertised one-touch application route. An internet connection is needed for results and use.
The app separates recent searches, saved vacancies and application history, making it possible to return to a shortlist and follow work already pursued. The employer-discovery route includes both local businesses and multinationals hiring in South Africa. Full descriptions provide the role details behind a search result, and email alerts can track relevant new openings. The publisher explicitly describes the app’s browsing and application service as free. Keep the actual employer and its requirements with the vacancy, including where a notice concerns a public-sector role.
