FSPs Need Better Candidate Context
Employers need more than a name, phone number and a hopeful CV. They need to understand a candidate’s experience, role fit, RE status and supporting information.
About RE5 Recruitment
FAIS Recruitment Built Around Real Industry Understanding
RE5 Recruitment helps Financial Services Providers connect with suitable candidates for FAIS-related roles across South Africa.
We are not a generic recruitment platform trying to guess what RE5, RE1, DOFA, Class of Business and Key Individual requirements mean. We work in this space daily, which helps us support employers and candidates with a more focused recruitment process.
Where FAIS Talent Meets Job Opportunity
A recruitment service created for FSPs, candidates and FAIS-related career growth.
Who We Are
A Recruitment Division Backed by RE5 and RE1 Sector Experience
RE5 Recruitment forms part of the broader RE5 Online environment, where we work with learners, candidates, employers and financial services businesses preparing for RE5 and RE1 regulatory exams.
This gives us direct insight into the challenges faced by both FSPs and job seekers. Employers need people who are suitable, prepared and aligned with the requirements of the role. Candidates need a clear way to present their experience, qualifications and career goals.
RE5 Recruitment brings these two sides together through a dedicated recruitment platform and a support team that understands the FAIS sector.
Why We Exist
Because FAIS Recruitment Needs More Than a CV Database
The financial services sector has specific requirements. Treating FAIS recruitment like ordinary recruitment is how businesses end up with mismatched candidates, missing documents and interviews that should have been emails.
Candidates Need Visibility
Many good candidates are overlooked because their information is incomplete, badly presented or buried in someone’s inbox. A structured profile gives them a better chance.
The Sector Needs Focused Recruitment
FAIS recruitment works better when handled by people who understand the difference between a Representative, Key Individual, Compliance Officer and support role.
Our Difference
What Makes RE5 Recruitment Different?
We combine recruitment support, candidate profile management and FAIS sector understanding into one practical process.
FAIS-Focused Knowledge
We understand the importance of RE5, RE1, DOFA, Class of Business, fit and proper indicators, role suitability and practical experience.
Employer and Candidate Support
Our platform supports both sides of recruitment. FSPs can load vacancies, while candidates can create profiles and become visible for suitable opportunities.
Connection to RE5 Online
Where candidates or teams still need RE5 or RE1 training support, our link to RE5 Online helps create a stronger training and recruitment pathway.
Structured Candidate Profiles
Candidate profiles help employers review information more clearly, including work history, preferred roles, RE status and supporting documents where available.
Practical Screening Support
Depending on the recruitment option selected, we can assist with screening, reference checks, document collection and candidate readiness.
Recruitment Across FAIS Roles
We support recruitment for Representatives, Financial Advisors, Key Individuals, Compliance Officers, client service, claims, underwriting, admin and support roles.

Support Matching and Shortlisting
We help connect suitable candidates with relevant opportunities based on available information.
Support the Next Step
This may include interview preparation, feedback, screening support and placement assistance.
What We Believe
Our Recruitment Values
Recruitment works best when people are treated like people, not spreadsheet rows waiting to be filtered into oblivion.
Clarity
Employers need clear role requirements. Candidates need clear next steps. We aim to reduce confusion wherever possible.
Relevance
We focus on matching candidates to roles where their experience, qualifications and goals make sense.
Professional Presentation
Candidate profiles, CVs and interview readiness matter. Good people still need to present themselves properly.
Sector Understanding
FAIS recruitment requires context. We bring practical knowledge of financial services training and role requirements.
Support
We support employers and candidates through a more structured process, because “just email your CV” is not a strategy.
