Every Thursday, we will tackle one part of the conversation that too many workplaces still avoid:
• The real cost of poor mental health at work
• Why burnout is a workplace problem, not a personal failure
• The role managers play, whether they realise it or not
• What today's professionals expect from employers

Our work is about connecting people with opportunities where they can thrive. That only happens in workplaces where people are well enough to do their best work.

Our Founder & CEO, Mahlape Nyakane, and our Business & Operations Lead, Yolandi Heyneke, joined business and government leaders at the 2026 Team France Gala Dinner, the closing evening of the 5th France-South Africa Business Forum.

It was a night that celebrated what happens when two countries invest in each other: economic development, innovation, industrial growth and, close to our hearts, skills.

Our biggest takeaway? Every cross-border partnership is built by people. When businesses in France and South Africa grow together, the right talent is what turns that ambition into results.

As global talent specialists, that is exactly the work we care about: connecting skilled people with opportunities across sectors and across borders.

Thank you to the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry and its partners for an evening of dialogue, recognition and connection.
Congratulations to all the Business France South Africa & Southern Africa
Business Excellence Award winners.

The The Skills Mine Mine team was out in full force at the Vul'Amathuba Festival at Constitution Hill on 29 September, and what a day it was.

Hosted by the Gauteng Department of Economic Development, together with the The Gauteng Growth and Development Agency , Vul'Amathuba brought jobs, skills, funding and business support together in one place for the people of Gauteng.

At our stand, we spent the day doing what we love most: talking to young people about where they want to go, and helping them map out how to get there.

𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱:
✅ Work readiness programmes for graduate and youth employment initiatives
✅ CV writing and job search optimisation
✅ Interview preparation skills
✅ Coaching, mentoring and guidance

Every conversation at our tables reminded us how much talent Gauteng has. Talent is everywhere. What needs opening up is access, and that is exactly what days like this are about.

Thank you to GDED and GGDA for creating the space, and to every person who stopped by to chat, ask questions and share their goals with us. 🤝🏾

And yet deep work is where the highest-value output happens. Strategy. Problem-solving. Innovation. The kind of thinking that cannot be replaced by AI because it requires sustained human concentration.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺:

Most companies reward availability over output. Being "always on" is treated as dedication. But constant responsiveness comes at the cost of meaningful contribution.

The professionals who protect their focus time will outperform those who do not. And the organisations that create space for deep work will outpace those that fill every hour with meetings, messages, and check-ins.

Deep work is not a luxury. It is a competitive advantage. And it is one that most companies are actively destroying.

The Absa Group Enterprise and Supplier Development Expo reminded us why being in the right room at the right time still matters. We met businesses actively solving their talent challenges. Mahlape Nyakane, Founder & CEO, and Yolandi Heyneke, Business & Operations Lead, spent the day doing what we do best: having real conversations about the talent challenges businesses are facing.

This wasn't about collecting business cards. It was about understanding where companies are struggling with recruitment, retention and building teams that actually drive growth. And the conversations we had showed us there's real appetite for what we do as strategic talent partners.

Thank you also to Absa Group , Smart Procurement and our partner IBM for creating a platform where businesses like ours can connect with decision-makers who are serious about solving their talent challenges.

The work starts now: following up on the conversations that had momentum, deepening the connections that felt right, and turning genuine interest into partnerships that work.

Internal hires perform better in year one. They already understand the culture, the systems, and the stakeholders. There is no learning curve on how things work.

They stay 41% longer than external hires. Employees who see a path forward do not look for one elsewhere.

They cost significantly less to onboard. No recruiter fees. No relocation. No three-month ramp-up period where everyone is holding their breath.

So why do companies keep overlooking their own people?

Because internal mobility requires something most organisations have not built: visibility. Clear career pathways. Skills mapping. Managers who develop people instead of hoarding them.

Before you post your next role externally, ask one question: "Is there someone already here who could do this, with the right support?"
