Exploiting Job Seekers – Unfair Treatment at Hlabahlosile Trading Projects

I recently engaged with Hlabahlosile Trading Projects regarding a Quality Inspector position through Ulene Pillay. After following up she finally sent the details—only for me to realize that the offered rate was far below industry standards. Having worked in the quality department for years, I was shocked to see an offer that wasn’t even half of what I’ve earned in similar roles.

When I professionally raised concerns about the low pay and the struggles job seekers face, instead of engaging in a discussion, Ulene Pillay blocked me and cut off communication. This speaks volumes about how they view job seekers—not as skilled professionals, but as people desperate enough to accept anything.

It's disappointing to see recruitment agencies like this taking advantage of unemployment in South Africa instead of offering fair wages. I urge job seekers to be cautious when dealing with Hlabahlosile Trading Projects and Ulene Pillay. Employers should uplift workers, not exploit them.
