About Spaan
Spaan is much more than an employment platform.
We are a safe place for people who are seeking work and for those who are offering work.
A place that removes all doubt, where employers and employees can trust the processes entirely. A place that is safer, inclusive, and accessible to all.
Creating a Spaan profile is free.
And our verification services are pay-as-you-need and designed to save you time and money by enabling you to verify important documents all in one place.
This includes everything from validating your ID documents, permit and qualification, to background checks, screening and much more.
A blend of cutting-edge technology and human innovation
Spaan is a bridge to the future that we are building together…
a bridge built on our three pillars:
Verification
Verification services and background checks
Inclusivity

“We believe that trust is the key to ongoing employment and Spaan exists to help you put your best foot forward, connecting every South African to work that affirms their value and unlocks their potential.”
– Spaan CEO
Our Mission
In a world where access is unequal and trust is scarce, Spaan bridges the divide by putting verified talent and real jobs on the same page. By making verification, dignity, and access, the foundation of every job, we don’t just reduce unemployment, we restore belief in people’s value.
At Spaan, we believe employment is the key to economic growth and empowerment.
But unless it operates within a framework of honesty, the job market cannot thrive.
So, we put trust at the centre of everything we do.
We prioritise verification – connecting real companies with genuine applicants.
And make sure that our platform is inclusive and accessible to all.
At the same time, we leverage cutting-edge technology, to streamline the hiring and recruitment processes.
Enabling a reliable, transparent and competitive environment.
Bridging the gap between job seekers and employers with trust and innovation.
Reducing inequalities, creating meaningful and lasting opportunities.
Spaan, employment built on trust.
The big numbers
At Spaan we believe in accountability and here you’ll find our hard targets – what we are hoping to achieve in the next five years – as well as results that will update as we progress. Let’s change South Africa’s employment landscape, one job, one verification at a time.
Spaan is an environmentally conscious operation
We're seeking to transform lives through employment, building trust through good governance.
