Why Choose AHASA Members
Why use an AHASA Recruitment Agency
Finding, hiring and managing skilled healthcare staff can be challenging and time-consuming. Partnering with the right healthcare recruitment agency makes all the
difference – and choosing an AHASA Member means choosing quality,
compliance, and professionalism.
AHASA: Trusted Since 1994
Since its inception in 1994, AHASA has worked towards improving and regulating nursing and healthcare Temporary Employment Services (TES) in South Africa.
AHASA Member agencies have extensive knowledge in working with various healthcare institutions to recruit and manage their workforce. Our members are some of the largest TES providers in South Africa, bringing together competent, professional and cost-effective workforce solutions.
How Do You Know Whom to Choose?
At present, there are low or no barriers to entry, which means healthcare institutions may find themselves dealing with inexperienced TES providers or those incapable of delivering a compliant service.
To mitigate your risk, we recommend choosing TES providers who belong to a recognised professional body, such as AHASA. Members are required to not only meet minimum compliance standards, enforced by audits, but also comply with AHASA’s heightened quality assurance programme and subscribe to a Code of Ethics and Best Practice.
