FREIGHT FORWARDING specialists X-Act Placements held a champagne spring breakfast last week to welcome in bud-season, though business has been in full bloom for the Gautengbased recruiters since August 2006. “Business has grown fantastically over the last year,” said X-Act national manager Joshua Alexander. The company has even expanded into the international scene, with a spate of recent placements in Dubai. But South Africa’s skills shortage is an ongoing concern with candidates simply lacking the qualifications to do the job, according to Alexander. X-Act is a division of Prime- X, the parent company that specialises in IT interfaces and offers consulting solutions to the freight forwarding industry.
