The talent network · Hired1st + PowerHouse Hub
One engine. Many doors.
A talent marketplace + a learning-and-compliance engine — the exclusive African licence.
Hired1st and PowerHouse Hub work as one engine: a talent marketplace joined to a learning, compliance and growth platform, carrying a verified Workforce Wallet for every professional. Sector marketplaces already run on it from Australia to Singapore, and in Africa they stand up through SATalent1st, which holds the exclusive African licence.

What it is
Two platforms. One workforce engine.
Most tools do one thing. This is the whole chain — talent development, compliance and recruitment on one platform.
The marketplace — Hired1st
Every candidate source, one ranked pool.
- Parsed, verified and scored against the real role
- White-labelled under the employer's own name
- Every source feeds one ranked shortlist
- The hiring judgment stays with a person
The workforce engine — PowerHouse Hub
Skills and compliance, measured — not guessed.
- Courses, certifications, CPD, contractor onboarding
- Compliance reported at person, team and company level
- Job-role frameworks rank the internal pool
- ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified
How demand flows
One order. Two lanes.
Employers raise a Candidate Order. The role decides the lane.
Talent On Demand
Volume roles, filled automatically.
High-volume and template roles are matched straight through the marketplace and its job board. The shortlist forms itself.
Recruitment Services
Senior hires, placed by people.
Specialist roles route to vetted independent recruiters. Technology routes the demand; a person makes the placement.
How it works
From first contact to next role.
One journey — nothing verified is ever lost, nobody starts from zero twice.
Every source feeds one ranked pool.
Parsed and pre-screened; a person makes the call.
Across borders — EOR partners in 100+ countries.
Every course and certificate lands in the Wallet.
Many doors
Your brand on the door.
Each world gets its own branded marketplace on the same engine. Six are already live — in Africa, they stand up through SATalent1st.
Mining & engineering
DrawPoint's world — operators, engineers and specialists whose tickets, medicals and experience live in one verified profile, moving between African operations and Australia.
Yachting
Haus of Yachting's world — crew whose certificates, sea time and readiness are verified once and carried from vessel to vessel, season after season.
The world of sport
The athlete economy — careers beyond the field, the workforce around events and academies, and the skills that travel with both. A discipline built in sport is a track record. Standing up in South Africa with ProTouch Africa.
Enterprise & education
Schools, academies and corporates that run talent in-house — their name on the door, their policies behind it, and their own team in the administrator's seat.

The two lanes
Which lane fills your role?
One Candidate Order, two routes. The role decides which one it takes.
| What you are comparing | Talent On Demand | Recruitment Services |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Volume and entry-level roles | Senior and specialist hires |
| How the match is made | Matched automatically against the role | Placed by a vetted independent recruiter |
| Who makes the call | A person confirms every shortlist | A person owns the mandate end to end |
| Candidate record | Verified Workforce Wallet | Verified Workforce Wallet |
| Typical speed | Fastest route to a shortlist | Deeper search, longer runway |
| Who pays | The employer, never the candidate | The employer, never the candidate |
Common questions
Questions buyers ask.
What is a Workforce Wallet?
A verified career profile that belongs to the professional and travels with them. Not a CV that says, but a wallet that shows: qualifications, tickets, references and work history already checked, so an employer sees verified evidence rather than claims typed into a document.
How does a role get filled on the platform?
An employer raises a Candidate Order. It flows down one of two lanes: Talent On Demand matches volume and entry roles automatically, while Recruitment Services routes senior and specialist hires to a vetted network of independent recruiters. Technology routes the demand; a person makes the placement.
Which markets run on this engine?
Sector marketplaces already run across nursing, yachting, mining, sport, banking and accounting, from Australia to Singapore. In Africa they stand up through SATalent1st, which holds the exclusive African licence for both Hired1st and PowerHouse Hub.
Can independent recruiters work on the platform?
Yes. Recruiters work remotely and project by project, paid on placement, with no desk fee, no subscription and no upfront cost. The platform brings the demand and the verified candidates; the recruiter brings the judgment and owns the relationship.
What do industry bodies get from it?
An association or industry body brings its own network and receives a branded marketplace built around it: its members, its sector, its name on the door. It runs on the same engine, with SATalent1st standing it up and supporting it in the African market.
