Cowan International attracts, hunts & selects top talent to best fit our client's unique organizational needs. From our solid foundation in mining, resources and energy to engineering, manufacturing and construction we have the network to meet your needs.

A Canadian company founded in 1954, Cowan pioneered recruitment for overseas employment. Sixty years later, we have grown exponentially on our reputation alone, with offices on four continents including a thriving domestic business specializing in both talent management and recruitment solutions.

Cowan laid roots in Africa in 2004, a time of heightened exploration activity in mining. Wayne Gibbons, our main man, worked in West Africa as an expat before joining Cowan. We are proud to say Wayne has been the leader of his experienced and consistently expanding team ever since.

Around Cowan, we often refer to Africa as our homeland, with a long rich history of success that dates back to the 1960′s.  And still today over 45% of our global business is in Africa.

Waynde’s team in Bloemfontein, SA are passionate about finding the right job opportunities for the candidates they represent. No matter if you are an expatriate or national the Cowan MethodTM is the science we use to identify, select and ensure the right fit between the job opportunity and the candidate.

Each one of Cowan’s recruiters are trained and experienced  to succeed at even the most challenging searches. Our centralized network is fed by a global team committed to hunting for, screening, and selecting top performers around the world.
