staff profile

We currently have 267 loyal and dedicated staffers, 30 of whom have been together in our company for 10 or more years, 80 for more than 3 years and 157 for less than 3 years. More than a third of these personnel constitute the central core of software designers and engineers.

We have developed sophisticated team management structures within the Research and Development Team, and all personnel have worked hard to establish their own positive, well-motivated and highly creative ethos. In addition, we have a dedicated team that is responsible for all IT infrastructure maintenance within the company. Staffers look after computer networking, Internet connectivity, telephone systems and server hosting throughout our offices.

We are currently employing software engineers and software quality engineers. To this end, we have established relationships with key academic staff at the reputable universities around South Africa and actively participate in their graduate recruitment programs. This continues to yield a crop of select students across the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering disciplines who take up positions at Korbitec.

Around the central R&D core, we have an experienced management team and a mature administrative infrastructure, including human resources personnel.
