On 31 October our catalogue held 1,734 open roles based in South Africa from 77 employers, plus 202 remote roles open to people here. Gauteng had 791 of them, and 406 adverts showed the salary.
When we last refreshed the catalogue on 31 October 2026, work.net.za listed 1,734 open roles based in South Africa from 77 employers, each linked to the employer's own application page. Another 202 remote roles were open to people living here.
The largest employers were Old Mutual with 525 open roles, the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development with 110, Marriott International with 109, FirstRand with 102 and Tiger Brands with 99. The Gauteng Department of Health, Absa, Eskom and the Gauteng Department of Community Safety each had more than 50.
Gauteng had 791 of the roles, the Western Cape 236 and KwaZulu-Natal 93; many others name South Africa without a province. Finance and accounting was the biggest field with 555 roles.
257 roles suit early-career applicants: internships, learnerships, graduate, trainee or entry-level posts. 406 adverts showed the salary, and 315 open adverts close within the next seven days.
We add new roles every day and drop closed ones, so these numbers move. Always apply on the employer's own page, and never pay anyone to get a job.
The Department of Public Service and Administration published Circular 39 of 2026 on 30 October. It lists posts in 20 national departments, from Home Affairs and the police to Water and Sanitation, and in seven provincial administrations.
