Terms like RE5, RE1, DOFA, Class of Business, Representative and Key Individual matter in this sector. They are not decorative buzzwords for a job spec.

We Support Both Sides

Employers can load vacancies and review suitable candidates. Candidates can create profiles and become visible for relevant opportunities.

We Focus on Better Information

A stronger candidate profile helps employers make better decisions and helps candidates present themselves more professionally.

We Support Career Growth

Candidates who still need training support may be directed to RE5 Online for regulatory exam preparation options.

We Reduce Manual Admin

The recruitment app gives both sides a structured starting point instead of endless emails, missing documents and WhatsApp archaeology.

We Recruit Across FAIS Roles

We assist with Representatives, Key Individuals, Compliance Officers, admin staff, sales support and other financial services roles.

RE5 and RE1 Careers

RE5 and RE1 Career Opportunities

Many candidates ask what they can do with RE5 or RE1. The honest answer is that it depends on the role, employer, experience, qualifications and fit and proper requirements.

RE5 career opportunities in South Africa

RE5 Career Direction

RE5 is commonly linked to Representative roles and client-facing financial services positions. Candidates with RE5 may explore opportunities in advisory support, sales, client service, insurance, banking, brokerages and related FAIS environments.

RE1 career opportunities and Key Individual roles

RE1 Career Direction

RE1 is commonly linked to Key Individual and oversight-related roles. RE1 alone does not automatically make someone a Key Individual. Experience, approval, competence and the correct role requirements still matter.

Candidate Introductions

Candidate Introductions Give Employers More Context

A CV is important, but it is only one part of the story. Candidate introduction videos help employers get a better feel for communication style, confidence, professionalism and presentation.

Where available, RE5 Recruitment may use candidate introduction videos to help promote suitable candidates to employers, on our platform and through selected professional channels.

This gives FSPs a better first impression of potential candidates before interviews are scheduled.
