BEST OUTSOURCED STAFFING SOLUTIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA

MASA offers a personalised staffing solution in South Africa tailored to your specific needs, geared to help your company maximise its recruitment ROI.

STAFFING SOLUTION

Every company is different and will face unique challenges to grow in the modern world.
Although securing consistent business opportunities presents difficult obstacles, this is undoubtedly the most essential part of the journey if you want to survive and thrive in the future.

Why Consider Staffing Solutions?

Your company can improve its revenue-building efforts by hiring new staff to work in crucial parts of the organisation. However, staffing can be a costly, time-consuming and often risky business proposition. Many employers are turning to outsourced staffing solutions to mitigate the inherent risks as a more flexible, cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional staffing.

How MASA Can Help

A staffing agency like MASA can help your business grow by providing:

  • Access to Talent – An extensive database of qualified professionals.
  • Cost Savings – Reduced recruitment costs through targeted strategies and advertising solutions.
  • HR & Payroll Expertise – Professional HR and payroll services to streamline your operations.

MASA offers a personalised staffing solution in South Africa tailored to your specific needs, geared to help your company maximise its recruitment ROI.

This page will explore how staffing solutions change how companies hire and why it is more beneficial than traditional staffing. We will also dive deep into the types of business opportunities MASA can help your company pursue and discuss the advantages of working with a staffing solutions agency.

HIRING STAFF THE TRADITIONAL WAY

Hiring staff can be a daunting task for any business, but it is a necessary step to expand and grow. When done correctly, staffing can provide your company with the talent needed to succeed. However, when not handled properly, the risks associated with hiring can be significant and costly.

Traditional Staffing Methods

The traditional way of staffing usually involves:

  • Posting job ads online or in newspapers
  • Reviewing resumes
  • Conducting interviews in person or over the phone

This process can be time-consuming and inefficient, often requiring more qualified candidates for roles across all levels within your company.

Additionally, this method does not guarantee that you will hire someone well-suited to the company’s job requirements and culture, which could lead to costly turnover in the future.

Challenges of In-House Staffing

Running an in-house staffing operation can be even more complex. Here are just a few of the challenges that may arise:

  • The task of finding and hiring staff can take up large portions of your employees’ time, which they could have used for other important tasks during their workday
  • Having to train recruits about company procedures takes valuable resources away from different areas of the business
  • A lack of HR expertise may lead to a costly mistake during the hiring process, such as posing an illegal question in an interview or using incorrect paperwork when processing new employees’ contracts
  • Payroll errors can be expensive and time-consuming if not handled properly. Some companies that run internal staffing operations uncover the need to hire an in-house payroll specialist to ensure compliance with government regulations

Suppose your company needs a highly skilled recruitment team or finds that the traditional staffing process could yield better results. It may be time to consider outsourcing your recruitment needs to a specialist staffing solutions agency.

WHAT IS STAFFING SOLUTIONS?

‘Staffing solutions’ is an umbrella term that refers to the various methods businesses use to source and hire employees. Staffing solutions can be divided into two categories: internal and external.

Internal Staffing Solutions

Methods businesses use to find and hire employees from their own companies, including:

  • Job postings on the company website or intranet
  • Employee referrals
  • Headhunting

External Staffing Solutions

Methods businesses use to find and hire employees from outside their company, including:

  • Job postings online or in newspapers
  • Recruitment agencies
  • Social media

Staffing solutions agencies are companies that provide businesses with external staffing solutions. They can help with everything from finding qualified candidates to onboarding and payroll.

Unlike an in-house operation, staffing solutions agencies are experts in sourcing and hiring the right people for the job. Staffing is their core business, so they have the resources and expertise to find the best candidates for your company and deliver a better candidate experience.

Types of Staffing Solutions for Modern Businesses

  • Temporary Staffing – Short-term hires to cover seasonal peaks or employee absences.
  • Contract Staffing – Specialists hired for a fixed duration or specific project needs.
  • Permanent Staffing – Long-term placements to fill key roles within the business.
  • Remote Staffing – Access to global talent for roles that can be done off-site.

WHY USE A STAFFING SOLUTIONS AGENCY?

There are several reasons a company might choose to use a staffing solutions agency rather than handle staffing in-house. Here are some of the most common benefits:

Cost Savings

  • Staffing agencies are experts in recruitment and can source qualified candidates faster
  • Time saved allows employees to focus on more critical tasks
  • Outsourcing staffing can free up resources and reduce overhead
  • Payroll and HR tasks are handled for you, reducing risk and compliance issues

Access to Specialist Talent

  • Quickly access specific skill sets needed for growth
  • Tap into a large pool of qualified talent
  • Especially helpful in a competitive job market

Decreased Workload

  • Takes pressure off overworked HR and recruitment teams
  • Staffing agency handles tasks like sourcing, interviewing, and reference checks
  • Your team can focus on onboarding and employee integration

Growth Through Technology

  • Leverage the agency’s advanced software and AI tools
  • Target passive job seekers
  • Use video interviews and psychometric tests for better candidate evaluation

Boost Productivity

  • Minimise disruptions typically caused by hiring new employees
  • Ensure smoother transitions into roles
  • Staffing agency manages recruitment processes end-to-end

A Flexible Solution

Staffing agencies offer more than recruitment. They provide:

  • Recruitment services
  • HR services
  • Payroll services
  • Training and development services
  • Technology solutions

An outsourcing agency can tailor these services to your business needs, delivering the most value for your investment.
