I am back from my trip to Kenya, and I couldn't help but provide some insights and perspectives and how they apply to the world of recruiting: 🌍 Effective Communication: Engaging with some of the locals in Kenya highlighted the importance of clear and effective communication, especially when there are language barriers. The same is true with recruiting. Effective communication with candidates and clients is essential for conveying job requirements, expectations, and building strong relationships. 🗣️ Adaptability and Flexibility: Traveling in general often requires adaptability to unexpected situations, such as changes in plans or unforeseen challenges. Similarly, recruiters need to be adaptable and flexible to navigate the ever-changing landscape of job markets, candidate preferences, and client needs. 💪 Problem-Solving Skills: I encountered various challenges during my trip requiring quick thinking and problem-solving skills. In recruiting, being able to troubleshoot issues, address concerns, and find creative solutions is essential for success, whether it's resolving conflicts between candidates and clients or overcoming recruitment obstacles. 💡 Networking and Relationship Building: Interacting with locals, tour guides, and fellow travelers in Kenya caused me to reflect on the importance of networking and building relationships. In recruiting, establishing a strong network of candidates, clients, and industry contacts is crucial for sourcing top talent and securing successful placements. 🌐 Resilience and Persistence: Traveling can be physically and mentally demanding, requiring resilience and persistence to overcome challenges and setbacks. I had my original one-layover trip back turn into three layovers with two delayed flights, resulting in missing one of them and having to catch the next flight... Lucky me I suppose🙃. Likewise, in the recruiting industry, resilience is key to bouncing back from rejections, setbacks, and failures, and staying motivated in the face of obstacles. Embracing Diversity and Inclusion: The many people I interacted with exposed me to people from various backgrounds, ethnicities, and perspectives. These differences need to be celebrated! There can be so many unknown strengths. Embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity is not only important in travel but also in recruiting, where creating diverse and inclusive workplaces leads to innovation, creativity, and better business outcomes. 🤝 I am back in the office now and ready to help my candidates and clients find the right opportunities and people. As always, reach out to me if you are seeking a new role, or looking for quality people for your business! 📲

Reasons why you should hire a South African: 🌍 We have a lifetime of experience working in a multicultural environment. 😕 We thrive in uncertain situations. One minute we have a Finance Minister; the next minute, we don't. 🗣 11 official languages mean we have excellent written and verbal communication skills. 🤔 Problem-solving comes naturally when you've blown your spare tire on yet another pothole. 🕯 We're resilient and resourceful. We deliver results with no electricity. 🕺 If we have objections or demands we're more likely to sing and dance rather than scream and shout. 🚦 We're creative. Why call it a traffic light when you can call it a robot? 😆 Our humor, albeit a likely coping mechanism, is great for team morale. #opentowork #remotework #workabroad #internationalrecruitment #southafrica
