What the work may be like
Pepkor's contact centre supports Africa's largest retailer by store count — Pep, Ackermans, Tekkie Town, and more — from its Bellville Cape Town campus. The multi-brand structure means agents become knowledgeable across different retail credit and loyalty products, and the JSE-listed stability provides employment certainty.
The entry-level accessibility, clear progression pathways, and the scale of the operation make this one of the most accessible BPO entry points in the Western Cape.
Hiring and application process
Candidates should apply online via the South African jobs platform, uploading their CV and Matric certificate for roles supporting customer service, credit queries and collections across the Pep, Ackermans and Tekkie Town brands. The screening process starts with an online assessment testing customer service orientation and basic numeracy, followed by a voice assessment, telephonic interview and final panel interview.
Reference and credit checks are completed before an offer is extended, with the full process typically taking three to five weeks. Prepare by practising responses to common credit and collections scenarios while showing empathy and clear communication.
