What Tema does

Tema Institute (מכון תימה) is an Israeli HR services company headquartered in Netanya that provides recruitment, placement, diagnostic assessment, career counseling, and organizational development services to both employers and individual job seekers. Founded around 2003 and operating as part of the L.M. World of Manpower group alongside five sister subsidiaries (L.M. World of Manpower, Expoz mystery shopping, Trigger hostessing/sales promotion, Input consulting/training, and GreenTech), Tema combines traditional staffing agency services with a portfolio of proprietary digital assessment tools — including the Analyzer motivation assessment, CvView digital recorded interviews, RE-VIEW online reference checking, TemaQuest academic selection, and a computerized diagnostic testing suite covering cognitive ability, personality, and integrity. The company maintains physical branches in Netanya, Rishon LeZion, and Be'er Sheva, with an Israeli-only operating footprint and no disclosed international revenue despite claims of placement capability "abroad."

The business operates a horizontal segmentation model addressing three primary customer groups — employers/organizations (B2B recruitment, assessment, outsourcing), job seekers/candidates (B2C career counseling, CV writing, interview prep), and educational institutions (TemaQuest academic selection) — generating revenue through professional services fees across recruitment, senior executive search (Tema Pro and dedicated senior recruitment), CV screening (CV Center), diagnostic assessment, organizational consulting, and training (Tema School). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging a Wix-hosted website, active social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok, email newsletters, and in-person consultations at branch offices. No public pricing exists; transactions occur through direct consultation.
