With over three years of dedicated experience in full-cycle recruitment across both the Kenyan and U.S. markets, I have passionately built a strong legacy of connecting exceptional talent with organizations poised for strategic growth. As a National Recruiter at Vensure Employer Solutions, I consistently achieve between 4–8 impactful hires each month across various states, with a remarkable time-to-fill of just two weeks to one month. This reflects my unwavering commitment to balance high-volume recruitment demands with quality-driven outcomes. My expertise transcends various functions, encompassing executive-level roles such as Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, and Assistant Vice Presidents, along with specialized professionals in IT support, payroll, product implementation, benefits, and sales. Through targeted sourcing strategies and refined screening processes, I have not only improved the efficiency of recruitment but also elevated the quality of hires, enhancing client satisfaction along the way.

In my prior role as a Project Recruiter at Yusudi Limited, I gained invaluable experience recruiting talent across Africa and beyond, focusing on C-suite executives and regional leaders in dynamic industries like manufacturing, fintech, consultancy, FMCG, telecommunications, and IT. By streamlining recruitment workflows and leveraging tools like Zoho, Lusha, and LinkedIn, I significantly reduced hiring timelines by up to 10 days. My ability to assess both technical expertise and cultural fit has empowered me to deliver candidates who meet essential qualifications while seamlessly aligning with client visions. I also played a pivotal role in data-driven decision-making, meticulously compiling and analyzing recruitment metrics that achieved 100% accuracy in applicant tracking and exposed gaps in the interview funnel. This proactive approach enhanced overall time-to-hire by 22% and fortified client trust in the recruitment journey.

In addition to sourcing and placements, I have consistently prioritized the candidate experience, creating structured feedback loops that inspire satisfaction throughout the hiring journey. I designed onboarding initiatives that facilitate smooth transitions for new hires, fostering higher retention rates and stronger team integration. These achievements embody my commitment to blending people-centered strategies with operational excellence.

Supported by a First-Class Honours Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management, I bring to the table strong skills in negotiation, critical thinking, onboarding, compliance, and social media recruiting. Whether locally or globally, I am driven by a results-oriented mindset, cultural awareness, and an unwavering passion for building meaningful connections that propel both organizational success and the personal growth of every individual.
