Why I Love Recruitment
Resume
My Recruitment Journey
I started in HR by helping with basic tasks like posting jobs and screening resumes at Value8 Group in Nairobi. Those early days showed me how much I love connecting people to the right opportunities. Seeing response times improve by 25% made me realize recruitment is where I belong.
Growing into a Global Recruiter
Later roles at Nu Health Agency and GAOTek took me international. I screened hundreds of CVs, ran video interviews, used LinkedIn Boolean searches, and built talent pipelines from emerging markets and North America. I cut hiring time by 15%, kept ATS data perfect, and even trained other interns. It felt great to make processes smoother for everyone.
What I Bring Today
Now I’m a focused recruitment specialist who cares about both business goals and people’s futures. I use modern tools, AI, and clear communication to create fair, fast, and inclusive hiring. I’m excited to keep learning and help teams find the perfect talent while making sure candidates feel valued every step of the way.
