I work in a large, complex, and highly regulated banking environment, partnering with multiple business units across the organisation. I manage end-to-end recruitment for both technical and non-technical roles, often focusing on scarce and niche skill sets. I design and execute innovative sourcing strategies, build talent pipelines ahead of demand, and use recruitment data and reporting to influence hiring decisions. I balance speed, quality, compliance, and transformation objectives while advising stakeholders at all levels of seniority.

As the founder of Miya Talent Consulting, I have partnered with a diverse range of clients, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international companies, delivering full 360° recruitment solutions across multiple geographies. I have recruited for clients across South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States, managing cross-border recruitment processes, time zone differences, and market-specific talent availability. This included advising clients on talent strategy, sourcing methodologies, and candidate market insights across regions.

At Datonomy Solutions, I specialised in technology and digital recruitment, partnering closely with clients to deliver hard-to-fill IT and data talent. I built proactive talent pipelines aligned to business demand, applied advanced sourcing techniques, and continuously assessed and improved sourcing strategies using market data. I worked in high-pressure delivery environments where quality, speed, and diversity were critical success factors.

In my role at IQbusiness, I managed end-to-end recruitment across consulting, technology, leadership, and graduate hiring. I acted as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, facilitated salary negotiations, and ensured a strong candidate experience throughout the hiring process. I also led and developed a team of Talent Acquisition Specialists, managed agency relationships, tracked recruitment metrics, and supported employment equity and transformation goals, combining hands-on delivery with people leadership.

I was hired as a Recruiter and then Talent Lead. I recruited across the board focussing on where we were on our Growth strategy. I also recruited in multiple countries as we were setting up offices there.

I was appointed as a Lead in the Assurance division. I was also responsible for hiring South African Audit Managers to our UK and Belgium offices. This also included ensuring that their visas and paperwork were correct for them to work in those countries.

I was recruited to look after the Internal firm Services as well as Tax Divisions at PwC. Internal Firm Services included departments such as IT, Marketing, HR and Finance. I recruited for PwC offices in South Africa, UK, USA, Ghana & Nigeria. The role was dependent on where my hiring manager was situated. It was a fantastic experience because it exposed me to Global recruitment.
