We help companies hire remote software developers in South Africa. Pantala is the Latin word for Dragonfly. This small animal may be the world’s most prolific long-distance traveler – flying thousands of miles over oceans as it migrates across continents. Pantala is our metaphor for the endless opportunities the world offers for talented people. As a tech recruitment agency we connect tech talent with remote opportunities across the world. This enables us to create equal opportunities for everyone. Our decades of recruitment experience have made us experts at finding the right opportunity for the right talent. That’s why we started Pantala. To connect tech talent with opportunities around the world. From our office in Cape Town, our tech recruiters work for companies like TikTok, Booking.com, Revolut and Zapata and help them hire remote developers. Hire the talent you can't find at home in 2 to 6 weeks and tap into the largest pool of software developers in Africa. Show less

All of us are living in a global climate crisis. Our planet is warming up fast. Luckily there is something we can do about it! On Saturday June 11th and Sunday June 12th we will walk 24 hours in the Vondelpark to raise awareness and money to cool down our planet. Together with Justdiggit we want to raise EUR 75.000 to regreen parts of Africa. By regreening our planet we are able to reduce our carbon footprint, create local jobs and cool down our planet. It's time we stop talking and start walking! Show less

Dec 2020 - Dec 2022
After seeing the terrible images from camp Moria I set up the charity event 24Lesbos with NGO's Movement on the Ground and KLABU. Together with 3 friends we walked 24 hours straight in "The Vondelpark" without sleeping or stopping, to raise money to build a KLABU Clubhouse at Lesbos. A KLABU Clubhouse connects refugees through sports and games and can serve up to 10.000 refugees. In the midst of COVID, with only 5 weeks of preparation, we completed the 24 hours, had over 250 people join us during our day and we raised over EUR 30.000,-,. This fall, the first KLABU Clubhouse will be build at Lesbos! "We are all refugees of a future that never happened." Check out the aftermovie: https://vimeo.com/592981380 Show less
