🚀 Student Desk Expert Guide: 3 Things That Make You a Winning Candidate

The Motus recruitment team looks for specific traits that aren’t always listed in the job description. Here is how to stand out:

1. The “Vibrant” Factor: Motus specifically mentions “high-energy” youth. In the automotive industry, your attitude is as important as your matric certificate. When you apply, ensure your CV highlights any “people-facing” experience, such as volunteering or part-time retail work.
2. Clean Record Check: Because you will be working around high-value assets (vehicles) and sensitive customer data, Motus has a zero-tolerance policy regarding criminal and credit records. Ensure your paperwork is in order before the screening phase.
3. The YES Rule: You are only eligible if you have never participated in a YES program before. Google and the YES registry track this via your ID number, so “double-dipping” will lead to immediate disqualification.

Who Can Apply? (Eligibility Criteria)

To be considered for the 2026 Motus intake, you must meet the following mandatory requirements:

• Education: Grade 12 / Matric qualification.
• Citizenship: Must be a South African citizen.
• Age Limit: Between 18 and 34 years old.
• Employment Status: Must be currently unemployed.
• Background: Clear criminal and credit record.
• Skills: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
