Hi, I’m
Monique Albertyn
Talent Lead
Durbanville, Cape Town,WC
Summary
I am passionate about recruiting candidates who are both kind and competent. I am a gatekeeper, astutely and resiliently managing the tension between capacity requirements and the right hire. My sense of purpose supersedes the work I do and I intentionally search for this virtue in the people I meet. I have a love for simplicity and efficiency and strive for this whilst intentionally and innovatively searching for talent. I aim to put the candidate's experience at the heart of any recruitment initiatives. I possess a profound passion for delivering meaningful contributions in every endeavour I undertake.
Passionate about making meaningful contributions in all endeavors, I thrive on cultivating connections and supporting others. Rooted in empathy and driven by a commitment to foster a positive impact, I continuously seek opportunities for personal and professional development through creativity and introspection. During challenging times, I draw upon resilience and assertiveness, leveraging obstacles as catalysts for growth.
