Would like to appreciate the relationship between me and S.MAB staff. It's been 11 years working with them no hiccups. I even qualified to purchase a house with an S.MAB payslip. Looking forward to continue with the relationship we have. God bless you.

EMEYOM Healthcare Professional

I have been proudly working for S.MAB Agency since 2016. Throughout this time, S.MAB Agency has always shown exceptional professionalism and efficiency. They started placing me at BMW in Rosslyn and later moved me to Ford Life Health Solutions, always ensuring smooth bookings and timely payments. I have always received my correct payment without delay, which says a lot about their reliability. Their long-standing experience in the industry shows in the excellent service they provide. I am grateful to be part of such a dependable agency.

Mrs. Lephai Gertrude Rafedile Healthcare Professional

I joined S.MAB Agency in 2013 as carer and worked my way through to become a professional nurse. I am very satisfied with S.MAB Agency placements and especially the Agency manager and staff. They make me feel seen and heard. Very timeous to attend to any concerns I raise with regards to work. What stands out for me especially is the manager's visits to the facilities unannounced to see how we work, and to also see if we are being treated fairly by the facilities. If I am still with S.MAB Agency after all these years, then I am at home with them. Thanks S.MAB Agency for giving me the wings to fly.
