ClockWork is a recruitment platform which connects companies needing a local, vetted, reliable jobseeker. Our mission is to reduce unemployment in South Africa through technology, in turn allowing jobseekers to build experience and become more employable. Our biggest belief is that job experience comes as a result of working more. We therefore track all the hours and jobs that a jobseeker has performed on our platform so that they increase their chances of obtaining work in the future.
This page serves as a point of information for jobseekers and includes everything they need to know about the ClockWork platform.
Becoming a ClockWork jobseeker

Alternatively, if you require some more information, you can WhatsApp the following number: 0647555912. A friendly member of the ClockWork team will guide you through your registration process.
In order to increase your chances of getting your first ClockWork job, it is a good idea to submit your verification documents. This is because the more documents you submit, the more XP points you will gain. Employers like to see jobseekers who have submitted all their verification documents, because it demonstrates that they are trustworthy and reliable.
Each verification document you submit will increase your XP points score. In some circumstances, you may be required to attend interviews for certain jobs. How well your interview goes will also increase your XP points score. You can find some tips on how to interview well here.
Once you have completed the above processes, ClockWork will be ready to complete your profile. This is what will be shown to employers when you are hired for a particular job, so make sure that your profile picture looks professional.
XP Points and growing experience
In the previous section, we talked briefly about XP points. This stands for ‘experience points’ and determines your chances of getting a job through the ClockWork platform.
You can accumulate a ‘fixed’ level of XP when you register by submitting a series of verification documents. Each document equates to a score, where the more documents submitted, the more points you’ll have to begin with. Although this is an important aspect of helping job seekers with getting their first job on the platform, our real focus lies with developing your ‘on the job’ experience.
The remainder of your XP points are made up of the following attributes:
-Hours of jobs you have done through the ClockWork platform
-Punctuality (what time you arrive at your job)
-Your average job rating – when you finish a ClockWork job, your employer is required to rate your performance. The better your rating, the more XP points you will receive.
Also note that points are relevant to each industry. For example, if you have completed more jobs in the promotions industry and been rated highly for them, you will rank higher when a promotions job is posted, compared to, for example, a construction job.
We also take into account your location, so we can offer you the jobs which are easiest to get to.
