We help SMEs turn people practices into their competitive advantage.
Why we do what we do
At Competence SA, we believe exceptional businesses are built by unlocking the full potential of their people and HR processes.
But misaligned roles, outdated processes, and reactive HR practices create a drain, costing you time, talent, and profit.
Because ‘average’ doesn’t cut it, we partner with CEO’s, business leaders or small HR teams to optimise their processes and align their people strategy with business goals – using assessment, AI-enhanced expertise, strategic insight, and practical solutions.
The result?
Stronger business performance because of people processes effectively aligned with strategic objectives.
We offer 3 integrated service tiers to support your growth journey:
HR Effectiveness Audits & Reviews
Pinpoint gaps and opportunities across the employee lifecycle to align your people practices with business priorities.
Talent Management Services
From recruitment to leadership development, we provide services to achieve the most effective talent management processes.
Advisory Solutions
Work with our experts to co-design strategic, customised HR plans that align with your long-term goals. Each service is designed to drive measurable outcomes—improved performance, better retention, and scalable growth.
Inspired by Potential, Driven by Results
We see the untapped potential in people and business – and help you harness both.
We speak the language of both strategy and psychology.
We deliver integrated, data-driven solutions that support informed decision-making.
We measure impact, not just effort.
We’ve done it since 2002—with the same thinking as the Big 5, but without the price tag.
We tailor everything to your unique culture, growth stage, and goals.
For our clients, HR isn’t an admin-only function anymore—it becomes a strategic game changer.
