Measured Ability Group Holdings South Africa (MASA) Is a decade old this year, still a relatively new brand name in the marketplace, however the directors and their staff were the progenitors of labor outsourcing in South Africa having been in the business of recruitment and outsourcing for close on four decades.

To put it in perspective; when the founding company, Greys Personnel, was established in 1982 Michael Jackson had just released his groundbreaking album “Thriller”, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands and went to war with the UK, FW de Klerk became the new leader of the National Party and a bomb exploded in the ANC headquarters in London.

The company now has a national footprint with a Durban recruitment agency,  Port Elizabeth recruitment agency as well as recruitment agencies in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Pietermaritzburg, Bloemfontein, East London and George.

When you look at it like that, you realise that MASA stands on foundations that have stood the test of time. It’s a company that has its roots embedded in permanent personnel recruitment and has evolved admirably to encompass contract recruitment, labour outsourcing as well as nursing services.

In 2012, the business merged the strength of Greys Personnel that operated in the permanent placement market with the depth of experience of Western Star Outsourcing which operated in the contract and outsourcing market and rebranded as MASA to pull together a company that comprises five distinctive business units.

The 5 pillars of business are:
