ABOUT

OUR BACKSTORY

Our life experiences span luxury yachts in the Med, investment banks in London, government advisory and international franchise groups in South Africa. We know a thing or two about what excellence looks like and, more importantly, how it feels to be part of an elite team of high performers.

We are driven by one, simple but exponentially powerful belief that WE DID NOT WAKE UP TODAY TO BE MEDIOCRE.

But we have been square pegs in round holes, stuck in jobs that we hated because we did not consider a broader horizon – a world where we could apply our skills from remote locations, for clients anywhere English is spoken.

So Hey Hi! was born, and today, we work with people we love on creative projects that excite us. 

why we exist

11.7% of South African graduates and nearly 33% of working-age people are unemployed.  The problem isn’t attitude or aptitude, it’s access. Many have already built real, demonstrable experience, yet remain confined to a limited local job market or filtered out by global hiring systems that fail to recognise their strengths.

We change that.

As a modern talent brokerage, we connect businesses with exceptional South African freelancers, creatives, and operators—and support individuals in positioning themselves for opportunities that reflect their true value.

Because when the right people are seen, supported, and connected to the right opportunities, everything shifts.

Our vision at Hey Hi is to bridge the gap between global businesses and South African creatives, providing opportunities, support and guidance so that both feel they landed a unicorn.
