Our Strength in the South African Labour Market
South Africa is a complex and ever-changing labour market, but we are always up for the challenge.
Here’s how we approach it:

A recruitment agency manages the hiring process on behalf of employers so that only suitable, pre-screened candidates reach the interview stage. At MASA and Greys Recruitment, that means more than collecting CVs.
The team actively sources candidates through a national database, targeted advertising and industry networks. Every candidate goes through reference checks and compliance verification before being presented to a client. Businesses get a shortlist of work-ready people, not a pile of applications to sort through.

As of 2026, MASA provides four core service areas, each designed to reduce the administrative and operational burden of hiring.
Temporary Employment Services cover short-term, screened, site-ready staff, making them the right fit for seasonal demand, project work or unexpected absences. Every temporary employee completes a structured screening and compliance process before arriving on site. No shortcuts.
Permanent Recruitment, handled through Greys Recruitment (MASA’s white-collar division), focuses on long-term fit. Talent acquisition specialists source candidates who meet role requirements and match company culture, which reduces turnover and improves retention over time.
Best for long-term hires, specialist and professional roles.
Labour Outsourcing and Payroll covers employment contracts, payroll processing and statutory compliance. MASA’s payroll services division handles over 18,000 payroll transactions monthly, including:
· Monthly processing
· Statutory compliance management
· Electronic payslip distribution
· Tax and UIF administration
· Reporting and reconciliation
Businesses keep their operational focus while the admin gets handled accurately and on time.
Best for businesses wanting to outsource workforce management entirely.
HR and Industrial Relations Support draws on MASA’s deep expertise in South African labour law. In a regulatory environment shaped by the Department of Employment and Labour, compliance isn’t optional. The service covers:
· HR outsourcing
· Industrial relations management
· Disciplinary processes
· CCMA representation and legislative risk advisory
Best for complex workforce challenges and disciplinary processes.

Hiring internally takes time that most teams don’t have.
It also requires compliance knowledge that most HR generalists don’t specialise in. MASA addresses both.

Permanent placements are typically charged as a percentage of the candidate’s annual salary. Temporary staffing and outsourcing solutions are billed at structured hourly or monthly rates.
Pricing varies by service type and volume. The best approach is to contact MASA directly for a quote based on your specific hiring needs.

Greys Recruitment is MASA’s specialist white-collar division. It sources, screens and places candidates into temporary and permanent roles across industries including finance, IT, engineering, healthcare and sales. Greys also connects clients to MASA’s broader service offering, covering payroll, labour outsourcing and HR and IR support through a single, aligned partner.
Permanent placements are typically priced as a percentage of the candidate’s annual salary. Temporary staffing and outsourced workforce solutions are billed at structured hourly or monthly rates. The exact fee depends on the service, industry and volume required. MASA provides tailored quotes based on your specific situation rather than applying fixed pricing across all clients.
For most roles, MASA can present a shortlist of qualified, pre-screened candidates within a few days. This speed comes from an active national database and established talent pools built over four decades. Specialist, technical or senior roles take longer, but the focus remains on delivering the right person rather than simply filling the position as fast as possible.
Internal hiring takes time, resources and compliance knowledge that most teams are already stretched to provide. MASA reduces that burden by handling sourcing, screening, compliance verification and onboarding. Every placement meets South African labour law requirements, which reduces legal and operational risk. Businesses get better candidates faster, with less internal disruption.
Yes. MASA covers a wide range of blue-collar sectors through its main division, including FMCG, logistics, manufacturing, automotive and construction. Greys Recruitment handles white-collar placements across finance, IT, engineering, healthcare, sales and more. Between the two divisions, most industries and role types across South Africa are covered.
