Dear Employer
FACEBOOK DISCOUNT/UPCOMING EVENTS
We trust that you had a peaceful Festive Season with your family and friends; and that you are refreshed and
ready to tackle the 1st year of the New Era of the Long Count calendar of 5125 years! As part of our New Era
renewal process, we have started a Facebook for Par Excellance H.R. Practitioners at
https://www.facebook/ParExcellance. The idea is to inform our subscribers of any changes to our positions
the moment our adverts are ready. Please visit our page; check which type of positions we cater for; establish
which positions we currently have available; and “LIKE” us directly under the drop on our cover page to be
notified of any new news items and positions.
Please keep in mind that we are a Small Business and 100% BEE compliant on level 4; and need your
economic support as per the Government’s drive to support small and medium enterprises in an attempt to
maintain as many jobs as possible. If you do not have our brochure or latest BBBEE certificate, one of our
Consultants or their Assistants will forward it to you with pleasure. If you are not/no longer responsible for
recruitment, I would appreciate it if you could pass this letter on to the dedicated person/people in your
own/other branches/companies, and inform us accordingly.
