I started my career as a Campaign Manager and then moved into a Customer Service role as a Team Manager. Six years into my career, in 2018, I found myself boarding a flight (for the first time ever!), from my hometown Pietermaritzburg to Johannesburg, for a job interview for the role of a Recruitment Consultant with a leading multinational company, Michael Page. I got the job, and intimidating as it was, I was hugely excited to move to the ‘City of Gold’ to build a promising career and family life. 

As I pleasantly realised, my job as a recruiter gave me the unique opportunity to support and help so many young South African professionals in their path towards building successful careers and secure futures. I specialise in hiring young professionals for full time positions in Finance as well as recruiting talent for temporary and contract roles in companies across South Africa. Since taking on this position in 2018, I have placed mid-to-executive level candidates in finance roles and have even helped many out-of-work professionals land temp jobs. Many of the candidates I placed in temp roles delivered a solid performance, motivating the companies to convert them into full time employees. I am tremendously grateful that my career in recruitment is helping make a difference in the lives of job seekers. I feel like I am actively contributing to the South African economy each time I match talent to the opportunity that meets their potential.

Having journeyed through the motions of my own personal and professional highs and lows, as a mother and recruiter, I continue to do my part in creating opportunities and nurturing environments for young South Africans to prosper and thrive in.
