At Blade Recruitment, I worked remotely from South Africa, recruiting UK-based candidates for UK vacancies in the facilities and maintenance sector. I sourced and headhunted candidates, screened and interviewed them, and prepared suitable candidates for vacancies.

I also managed job advertising and initial applicant responses, from adapting adverts to screening applications and contacting suitable candidates. I maintained candidate and client information in Zoho and GoldMine, and used Google Hire for advertising and applicant responses.

At Avid Brands S.A. (Pty) Ltd, I created marketing materials including product catalogues, social-media content and reusable Canva templates. I also prepared monthly marketing reports and checked advertising artwork against approved product information and supplier documentation.

In my administrative roles, I managed enquiries, coordinated product complaint administration and maintained records and spreadsheets. I’m looking for an opportunity where I can use and continue to develop my experience.
