Our core vision

The DAV team is inspired by making a real difference to the lives of our candidates and by growing our clients' competitive advantage.

We strive to ensure that each aspect of our business reflects world-class standards in search and recruitment, while representing a different and fresh approach to doing business.

We see our future as one of ongoing contribution to South Africa's growth, success and well-being.

Our Values

DAV's values very much form the soul of our company. They are completely entrenched in the way we do business, how we choose to act as human beings and are embedded in everything we do and say. Ingrid, our CEO, personally takes new employees through our values, telling - with great love and pride - the story behind each one of them. Our people take these values on as their own and it is a source of great pride to each of us that when it comes to our values, we can truly say that DAV walks its talk.

Where I am now is good, but it's not perfect, it's not DAV! I miss the people, the values, the discipline and celebrating each other's success. I was part of a winning team and DAV helped me to become who I am today. The DAV values have become my own personal values over the years and I still live those values every day. I am still a DAV girl!
