Embark Recruitment

Embark Recruitment is an executive search consultancy based in Sandton that services over 30 global and JSE listed clients across South Africa. Founded in 2013, the consultancy focuses on delivering a high level of service to both candidates and clients, and aims to place well matched candidates in roles where they can grow and contribute to their company's success. It sets itself apart on two points: a pre vetting process that means clients receive a high calibre shortlist of candidates who are in salary range and motivated to move, and a team whose staff held real world commercial experience before becoming recruiters, which the consultancy says allows them to assess culture fit and credentials more accurately.

Embark Recruitment works mainly in the FMCG, retail, manufacturing, media, auto, and banking and finance sectors. For candidates it offers a smooth, proven process that runs from career advice through interview preparation and salary negotiation to starting at the new company, and it publishes new roles and market updates through its social channels. Client testimonials on the site come from an HR Manager at Suzuki Auto, who praises the quality of candidates, the thoroughness in communication and the follow through, while placed candidates describe consistent support through interview preparation and the offer stage.

The consultancy operates from 48 Coleraine Drive, River Club, Sandton, 2146, Gauteng, South Africa, and serves clients nationally. Clients choose Embark Recruitment because it does not treat them as just another account: reviewers note that the team takes time to get to know the company and build a relationship before shortlisting. Candidates highlight transparency, professionalism and responsiveness, with several describing career growth after placement.
