RoomRaccoon invests in South Africa, growing team by 20%

(Cape Town) 18 April 2023 – Dutch hotel management software company and winner of the Breda Startup Award, RoomRaccoon continues its hiring spree in South Africa, growing its Cape Town division by over 20% in 2023.

The announcement follows the company’s latest hiring round, which saw 14 new employees complete its two-week intensive training programme in Cape Town in April.

Founded in the Netherlands, RoomRaccoon first established offices in Cape Town in November 2017 under the guidance of Niels Verspui, Market Head of RoomRaccoon South Africa. Since then, the company has created over 60 jobs for South African employees with plans to continue its growth in 2023.

Tymen van Dyl, CEO and Founder of RoomRaccoon, shares: “The number of skilled workers and infrastructure in South Africa has made it an attractive destination for us to expand. RoomRaccoon is focused on investing in its people and continues to be a sustainable business that is growing despite turbulent economic times. We’re excited to grow our team even further and aim to employ over 175+ heads across all markets and functions by the end of 2023.”

The company has opened a new office in Cape Town this year to support its growing team and continue its investment in South Africa. The office is located on the 26th floor of The Box, a 30-floor skyscraper in the Cape Town CBD and will provide an innovative space for its team and serve as a base for the company’s customer training programmes.

“The expansion is necessitated by a year of marked growth across our key source markets and our commitment to delivering the best and most complete Hotel Management System for independent accommodation businesses around the world,” says Tymen van Dyl.

RoomRaccoon currently has open positions in the Netherlands, Cape Town and Lisbon. For more information on the roles and how to apply, visit RoomRaccoon’s career page.
