Emerging Search Consultants

Emerging Search Consultants is a recruitment consultancy based in Gauteng, South Africa, that helps businesses and job seekers alike and describes itself as an African recruitment firm with international standards. The company is proudly African, run by Africans and focused on Africa, and it positions itself among the leading recruitment agencies in Johannesburg, with more than 15 years behind it. It is a level 1 BEE accredited organisation, which means clients receive 135 per cent procurement recognition towards their own rating when partnering with it, and the company states that it is committed to transformation and actively supports BEE initiatives across South Africa.

The consultancy specialises in mid management to executive level appointments, helping clients find executives and managerial professionals with the ability and decision making skills the position requires. It delivers this through three services. Search and selection applies a proactive and agile approach with a thorough vetting and selection process. Contingency recruitment supports clients expanding locally or internationally, with clients and candidates updated at every step for consistency, efficiency and collaboration. Project based hiring starts by outlining the client's specifications and works to agreed timelines, supported by a maintained database of qualified candidates ready for urgent and time specific requirements. The company publishes case studies, including work with Hitachi, EW SETA and Echo, that set out its methodology and KPIs such as CV to interview and CV to placement ratios.

Emerging Search Consultants operates from Willow View Office Estate in Ruimsig, Gauteng, and is open Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 17.00. It supports clients across South Africa and beyond, and describes itself as innovative, flexible and adaptable, governed by international recruitment best practice, and committed to an impartial partnership model with both clients and job seekers. Testimonials on the site come from an HR business partner at an international audit firm, a CEO at an EMEA automotive OEM, a regional director for Africa at a global software vendor and an executive director at an international IT organisation, who cite attention to detail, transparency, honesty and repeat service.
