Leaken Kanyina

I’m a results-oriented Human Resource professional with over 2 years of progressive experience supporting recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, payroll administration, HR records management, employee engagement, and HR operations. In my current Assistant Human Resource Officer role at RCMRD, I coordinate end-to-end recruitment activities, handle candidate communication and interview scheduling, and support offer letter and contract renewal documentation.

I also strengthen HR operations through precise employee lifecycle support: managing personnel records while maintaining confidentiality, facilitating onboarding and orientation programmes, and supporting offboarding processes (leave days in lieu, employee clearance, letters of service/certificates of service, and exit interview surveys). On the operations side, I prepare monthly payroll inputs using attendance, leave, new hires/exits, contract changes, and payroll updates—supporting leave management through the ESS Sage 300 People System—and maintain HR databases and workforce tracking tools using Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

My HR foundation comes from Human Resource Intern experience at RCMRD, Brinks Security Services, and Devki Steel Mill Ltd, where I supported shortlisting and interviewing, drafted HR correspondence, maintained confidential employee files, and helped with orientations and documentation. I’m people-focused and thrive in fast-paced environments, ensuring HR reporting, labour law compliance, and organizational policy alignment while delivering people-focused HR solutions that support organizational objectives.
