About TEMBO
TEMBO: more than a regular recruitment agency
TEMBO began in February 2014. It has since grown quickly to meet the demand for its unique and innovative service.
We support our clients to make you feel that our team is not an external resource but a part of your own organisation.
We provide consultancy services, marketing and conference production support, yet we start with the problem or requirement and seamlessly blend those services into one bespoke solution. We go beyond other external resource providers, partnering closely to craft high-impact marketing campaigns and events strategically.

Why is our emblem an elephant?
The name TEMBO simply means 'elephant' in Swahili.
What better thing is there to aspire to than an animal with such wisdom, strength and extraordinary skills in: problem-solving, social intelligence, openness, decisiveness, patience, confidence and compassion?!
We could all do with a bit more of these qualities in the work place. This is TEMBO's ethos.
Plus, we just think ele's are great!
