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.
What makes TEMBO more than a regular temp agency is that it offers real problem-solving services.
At TEMBO, the team service clients’ needs but they also know exactly how to solve problems and reduce the stress of marketing managers or senior management. They are there to achieve a temporary mission but also to make the client feel supported.
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!
