What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end technology hiring for scarce-skills roles, using structured interviews and recruitment analytics to improve time-to-hire. I’m excited to partner with engineering and executive leaders and can relocate to South Africa.

I’m a Senior Technology Talent Acquisition Manager with 8+ years of international experience delivering scarce-skills hiring across APAC, EMEA, and Africa. I recruit for software engineering, cloud, DevOps, data, cybersecurity, and product leadership roles, partnering closely with engineering and executive leaders on workforce planning.

I’m highly data-driven and ATS-savvy, implementing structured interview frameworks and analytics dashboards to improve outcomes. In my roles at VFD Group, Transsion Holdings, and CareerBuddy Inc, I’ve reduced time-to-hire and time-to-offer, built pipelines and employer branding for scarce technical skills, and improved DE&I representation—including a 30% lift in leadership pipelines.
