OUR STORY
At Outsource-SA, we bridge businesses with exceptional South African talent. Founded by Shaun Smith, a connector and facilitator of growth, our journey began when we identified a critical gap: companies facing limitations in accessing the right talent to scale effectively while struggling to keep pace with technological advancements.
What sets us apart? Our strategic approach to outsourcing delivers tangible results and sustainable growth. We connect businesses with skilled South African professionals, creating cost efficiencies and growth opportunities for ambitious SMEs and larger organisations looking to streamline operations, access specialised skills cost-effectively, and scale their businesses efficiently.
MAKING AN IMPACT
Our proudest achievement is our nomination for the Impact Sourcing Award at the BPESA Global Conference, recognising our commitment to ethical outsourcing practices. This milestone has highlighted the potential of impact sourcing to drive youth development and create meaningful employment opportunities in South Africa.
Through our active involvement with the YES (Youth Employment Service) programme, we’re providing crucial first work experiences and pathways to sustainable careers for young South Africans. This reinforced a powerful lesson: despite challenges, focusing on investing in people and creating opportunity breeds hope and yields significant rewards for both business and society.
the lekker connection
The Lekker Network’s palpable passion for South Africa deeply resonated with us. After years of innovating independently, this community has ignited a renewed innovation mindset, inspiring bolder approaches to societal contribution. The courage demonstrated by those involved, their unwavering commitment to South Africa, is truly infectious.
Our organisational values mirror The Lekker Network’s dedication. We believe in challenging conventional business approaches, embracing innovation to deliver impactful solutions, and maintaining accountability to deliver on our promises. The collaborative spirit perfectly reflects our belief in the power of teamwork to achieve shared objectives.
