Dear Recruiter For 8 years I’ve was part of a team of HR Professionals reporting to the HR Executive in compiling and implementing an integrated HR strategy aligned to business strategy. This included the various HR disciplines i.e. Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Employee and Industrial Relations, Remuneration and Reward, Employment Equity and HRIS. Leading up to this I have extensive operational and administrative HR experience which I regard an absolute necessity in order to develop and align HR strategy to business strategy. Without being involved in the ground work and also being exposed to strategy formulation I don’t think one can fully understand the organizational needs at every level of the business. In 2014 I relocated from Johannesburg to Kimberley and for 18 months I was responsible for developing and implementing HR policies, procedures and systems for the Unitrans Group, employing roughly 10,000 employees in Southern Africa. Once the project was finalized and due to corporate restructuring, I took on a HR generalist role at operational/ plant level in Kimberley. In 2016, the Kimberley branch closed, and I was offered a divisional HR Manager role again in Cape Town which I declined since my life was in Kimberley and my partner and I were about to start a family. After my daughter’s birth in July 2016 I stayed at home with her for 18 months and in February 2018 I started a small recruitment agency working from home, which I am still doing to this day.
