Tradey Bay: The Flagship of Sputnik Tech Group

Tradey Bay is the pioneering first-born platform of Sputnik Tech Group (Pty) Ltd, combining hyper-local classified ads, real-time digital auctions, an AI-powered jobs network, and branded seller storefronts into a single unified mobile ecosystem.

Built for Africa first and engineered to scale across emerging markets globally. While informal commerce has historically been fragmented across chaotic WhatsApp groups and unregulated social channels, Tradey Bay introduces interactive map exploration, dedicated seller and business storefronts with cross-selling carousels, revamped deep hierarchical categories, structured price discovery, automated anti-snipe auctions, native ATS resume building, in-app WebRTC calling, 100% POPIA compliance with in-country South African data residency, and a strict mandatory verification gate for all sellers and employers — establishing a verified safe haven against online fraud.

For Employers

Post jobs with employment type, salary ranges, and required skills. Browse candidate profiles, send invitations, and manage applications — all in one place.

Build your resume in-app. Check your compatibility with job requirements using the smart ATS checker. Apply directly and get discovered by employers.
