Hire Youth South Africa, famously known as HYSA, is a 100% female founded, youth owned and level 1 B-BBEE contributor high impact social enterprise that is aimed at empowering youth through job creation for young people who are unemployed and often come from underprivileged backgrounds with limited opportunities. We provide a solution to bridge the gap between employers and young job-seekers.

We are on a mission to build an organisation that is founded by the youth, managed by the youth and benefits the youth. “By the youth, for the youth!” is our mantra.

The youth unemployment crisis has dominated the headlines for over a decade now. Over the years, many plans, programmes and projects have tried to solve the problem; but the results for young people have been minimal.

As young South Africans (age 15-34), we make up 35% of our country’s total population. We should be the engine of South Africa’s economy, society and democracy. Instead, nearly half of us are out of work, education or training opportunities. Young people already face many unjust obstacles in accessing education, training and employment. Now, it’s going to get even more difficult. Our future, as well as the country’s, depends on us changing this reality.

To break the cycle of youth unemployment and poverty, we need urgent and focused action in focused areas, and that is where HYSA comes in. We believe that the road to a first quality job begins long before applying.

We source the best fresh talent in the market, handle background checks, on boarding, hands on approach, and provide bespoke customer tailored recruitment and direct sales marketing solutions.
