Employment Equity · Recruitment · POPIA

From targets
to talent.

Equity+ brings your vacancies, applicants and Employment Equity reporting into one system, so every hire moves your numbers in the right direction and every gap has a documented reason behind it.

Built for South African employers with Employment Equity Act reporting obligations.

Product

Everything between a CV landing in your inbox and a defensible EE report.

No spreadsheets stitched together after the fact — the same record carries through from application to report.

Recruitment

CV uploads, kept minimal

Upload CVs straight to a vacancy, several at a time. Only the applicant's name and surname are read, and you confirm them before saving.

  • PDF and Word CVs
  • Nothing else in the CV is read or stored
  • Every shortlisting and rejection is a person's decision
Recruitment

Vacancies & pipeline

Applied, Shortlisted, Interviewed, Appointed, Unsuccessful — one pipeline per vacancy, visible to the people who need it.

  • Hiring managers see only their own vacancies
  • Pipeline stage feeds straight into EE analysis
Employment Equity

Targets & gap analysis

Every occupational level benchmarked against a target, with your current representation tracked alongside it.

  • Six occupational levels, top to unskilled
  • Sector reference figures for context
  • Gaps flagged the moment they appear
Employment Equity

Justifications, linked to the report

A gap without a documented reason is a finding waiting to happen. Record the reason once, against the level and the report it supports.

  • Reasons drawn from a configurable, Regulations-aligned list
  • Unjustified gaps surface automatically
Access

Role-based, by design

Administrators, EE specialists, HR, hiring managers and management each see exactly what their role needs — nothing more.

  • Salary data hidden even from administrators
  • Hiring managers scoped to assigned vacancies only
Trust

An audit trail that holds up

Every view of a CV, every edited field, every exported report — logged, with who, what and when.

  • Signed-in access and material changes are logged
  • Exports for EEA2 and other reports are traceable
How it works

Built around the people who actually use it.

One login, one system of record — but a different view depending on why you're in it.

Administrator

Full system access. Salary information is hidden by design.

EE Specialist

EE data, gap analysis, targets and the reports that go with them.

HR / Recruitment

Candidates, CVs and the day-to-day of recruitment.

Hiring Manager

Only the candidates for the vacancies they own.

Management

Dashboards and reports — the numbers, without the admin.

Compliance

Compliance isn't a feature we bolted on. It's the reason the record exists.

Employment Equity reporting stands or falls on the quality of the record behind it. Equity+ is built to keep that record correct, minimal, and accessible only to the people who should see it.

POPIA controls

Data minimisation
Only an applicant's name and surname are read from a CV, on Equity+'s own server; nothing else is extracted. Race and gender come from the applicant's EEA1 declaration.
Access control
Role-based; hiring managers see assigned vacancies only; salaries only for people HR allows
CVs
Kept exactly as uploaded; nobody can edit or replace them
Retention
A retention date on every applicant record and document, set from your organisation's retention periods; review 60 days ahead
Deletion
Secure deletion by a person when a record is no longer needed
Audit trail
Access and changes logged

Retention periods

Your organisation decides how long each type of record is kept. Equity+ dates every record, flags it for review in good time, and leaves the decision to a person.

Set by you
A period for each record type: applicant CVs and records, and government, EEA and CIPC documents
Dated on upload
Every record gets a "retain until" date, counted from when it was uploaded
Reviewed in time
Records come up for review 60 days before that date, with a weekly reminder to administrators and HR
Your decision
Keep a record for longer, or securely delete it. Nothing is deleted automatically.
EE Plan (EEA13)
Kept for 5 years after the plan ends (Reg. 9(15))
"Section 26 of the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 requires employers to establish and maintain records of their workforce, their Employment Equity Plan, and any other records relevant to compliance with the Act, for the prescribed period." Supporting evidence — workforce data, consultation records, implementation and monitoring records, recruitment information, progress against targets, and justifications — may all form part of that compliance record.
Plans

Sized to your headcount, not a guess.

Plans scale with employee records, CV volume, storage and users — not a flat per-seat price that ignores how you actually work.

Plans by headcount

Tier 1 for up to 49 employees, Tier 2 for 50 to 149 and Tier 3 for 150 to 299. Pay monthly, or annually and save 10%. With 300 or more employees? Contact us about Enterprise.
