After living and working in South Africa and Malawi myself, I missed a proper platform to look for international jobs in Africa. Not easy to find the decision maker for hiring, let alone get in touch. The other way around, lots of employers in Africa seemed to be struggling finding the right talent, skills or management level and had nowhere to reach out to. JobnetAfrica was born!

Since 2011 I have dedicated my professional life to implementing my vision on recruitment and head-hunting for employers active in Africa. Helped by a great team of Africa enthusiasts we lead employers in finding their matching candidates and guide them in growing their businesses in Africa.

Always open to new ideas and perspectives, I moved from the Netherlands to South Africa over seven years ago. I wanted to learn what it is like to live abroad and experience dealing with different cultures. It has been quite an adventure ever since.

My journey has led me past several companies (large and small) in various industries, ranging from offshore oil and gas and engineering to manufacturing and logistics.

I am passionate about creating a sense of belonging, purpose and ownership within organisations. The right leadership is critical to achieve these goals.

Combining my passion and experience, allows me to bring a valuable perspective in supporting companies to find the leaders they need.

Having spent numerous years studying and working in The Netherlands, I eventually embarked on a journey to explore the vibrant and dynamic world. This adventure led me to South Africa. Little did I know that this trip would be a pivotal moment in my life.

My association with JobnetAfrica as a Sr Executive Recruiter marks a significant chapter in my career. I’ve embraced the challenge of comprehensively understanding our clients’ needs and delving into the essence of their company cultures.

This deep understanding enables me to connect with candidates who not only align with the company but also thrive and relish the experience of working in Africa. If you are aspiring to begin or advance your career on this enchanting continent and believe I can assist you in any way, do not hesitate to reach out.

After growing up in a small town in South Africa, I spent most of my career in tech recruitment for global businesses from the heart of Cape Town, before deciding to venture into a different industry and tap into emerging markets on our own, beautiful continent.

I love the outdoors, adventure and travelling, so I find working with businesses that hire in challenging/remote locations with ambitious projects very exciting. My background as an internal recruiter has been helpful in understanding business needs, operations and processes, while my passion for excellent customer service helps me to build a strong candidate experience. This helps me to be a true partner to both the hiring team and the candidate.

Hiring the right candidate can be complex, so my motto is to listen more than to speak and to focus on the most important details. If you’d like to see how I can help you achieve your goals, reach out to me on LinkedIn for current or future opportunities!

After having lived in many European countries I found out that there is still a whole world out there! Africa has been fascinating me ever since. With over 15 years of experience in intercultural communication as a translator and interpreter for German, Italian, English and French (now adding Portuguese), I have worked for several companies by helping them open up a new market and find new business chances in other countries. As an insider I have had the opportunity to understand how companies work and how important it is to have a good team and employees you can rely on.

One year ago I came across JobnetAfrica and I thought: what a great idea! This is exactly the link that was missing to connect enthusiastic professionals with companies willing to set up a business in Africa or already established there.

As a language expert I love communicating with people around the world trying to understand their needs and bringing them together. For me human factors and interpersonal relations are of the utmost importance and do make a difference when it comes to helping jobseekers and companies reach their goals. Currently based between Rome and Austria.

Having been born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, I have had the privilege to study and work in this beautiful city called home. After five years of working within the administration sector at various companies, I became intrigued and captivated with the challenges and opportunities Africa has to offer specifically on the international platform within recruiting. I joined JobnetAfrica!

As a business administrator, my principal goal is to support the team by handling administrative responsibilities that will increase output and help boost daily operations. Being a member of a team that is pioneering the way for successful careers in Africa is something I value highly.

Well over 15 years ago I decided to move to South Africa for a year. One year became many years and after moving around the African continent for a while, I have now settled down in Franschhoek, South Africa.

I have been part of JobnetAfrica since 2016 and have never looked back ever since. I’m wearing different caps within the company. I’m involved in the content management, social media, online marketing, finance and research.

Because of my versatility and my extensive experience living in Africa as a foreigner, I’m originally from the Netherlands, I believe I have a good understanding of what is asked of candidates and companies doing business in Africa.

It is absolutely fantastic to contribute to companies finding their ideal candidate and enhance people’s careers in Africa!

Born and raised in the stunning city of Cape Town, South Africa, I’ve always had a passion for exploring new places and cultures. After completing my studies and spending some time in the education sector, I decided to dive into the world of recruitment, driven by my fascination with psychology and human behavior.

I’m now thrilled to be part of the JobnetAfrica team, where I take on the role of Business Administrator. My day-to-day involves handling social media, managing administrative tasks, and supporting the team to keep things running smoothly. I love contributing to a company that’s making a real impact on career opportunities across Africa. Being part of this journey is both exciting and fulfilling, and I’m dedicated to helping achieve our goals while growing both professionally and personally.
