Cecile Van Zyl
@cecilevanzyl
I’m a Recruitment Specialist delivering accurate, compliant immigration and client coordination in fast-paced service environments.
What I'm looking for
I’m a versatile, detail-oriented Recruitment Specialist with experience spanning recruitment support, immigration coordination, client services, and the travel industry. In fast-paced, service-driven environments, I focus on people, processes, and documentation—where accuracy and communication are non-negotiable.
Most recently, I coordinate international recruitment initiatives and client communication as a Recruitment Specialist at Visa Solutions USA. I manage documentation and compliance for U.S. visa programs, liaise with international recruitment partners, and support business development and operational workflows.
Earlier in my career, I built a strong foundation through international crew scheduling and travel logistics, plus document control and aviation compliance work. From end-to-end recruitment—from vacancy intake to onboarding—to maintaining controlled technical documentation, I bring a calm, organised approach to problem-solving and reliable, professional support.
