Our holding company

In 1996 Quest, by then one of the top and certainly the most innovative staffing solutions companies in South Africa, became part of Adcorp Holdings Limited.

Adcorp Holdings Limited is the first specialist human capital company to list on the JSE Securities Exchange. Adcorp is currently ranked the most transformed company in South Africa in terms of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) (Financial Mail).

With its 1987 listing on the stock exchange, a decades-long track record and a string of prestigious corporate awards to its credit, Adcorp has evolved into one of the most successful companies in the local employment industry.

Adcorp’s House of Skills enables Quest to offer a holistic solution through strategic partnerships.

Adcorp is synonymous with the placing of high-quality people into all kinds of employment - be it on a permanent, temporary or flexible basis. The company also helps its tens of thousands of clients with a wide range of outsourced services - from recruitment and training to psychometric testing and payroll management.

Subscribing to the highest ethical standards

At Adcorp, we subscribe to the highest standards of ethics, transparency and integrity in our business dealings.

We fully support the Code of Corporate Practices as set out in the King II report, and have already implemented its recommendations. The King III report also receives our full endorsement, and we are in the process of implementing its recommendations too.

Sound, ethical practices have characterised our business dealings for more than 30 years, long before the term “corporate governance” went mainstream and formal governance structures became mandatory.
