Sustained successes underpinned by sound endorsements.
Is your Employer Value Proposition truly attracting leading corporate pacesetters?
INTRODUCTION
As the founder of a pro-active boutique agency; my hands-on approach enables
seamless client relationships anchored on innovation, flexibility, and accountability.
COMPETITIVE EDGE
My forté is a deep understanding that the vast majority of organisational front-runners, whilst not actively job seeking; are in fact open to a new opportunity – subject to this being presented as:
- A persuasive employer value proposition +
- A robust grasp of candidate career-motivators +
- A clearly articulated potential alignment thereof.
A survey conducted by Corporate Responsibility Magazine found that 92% of professionals would consider leaving their jobs if offered a role by a company with a compelling corporate reputation – leveraging this to well-targeted talent, defines my critical success factor.

ENDORSEMENTS
CLIENT COMMENDATIONS
I exclusively retained Patricia’s head-hunting services to fill two positions of CEO. The brief was challenging, and Patricia ensured that she fully comprehended my expectations. She created an engaging value proposition and used consummate professionalism, good judgment, and sensitivity to proactively headhunt and attract a diverse selection of candidates of an excellent ‘fit’; leaving me spoilt for choice. I highly recommend Patricia as a trusted business partner.
Group Managing Director

We are delighted with the high quality of incumbents who have been a great cultural fit, one is driving our strategy process after just 2 months and one was promoted to EXCO after just 3 months. Patricia stands out head & shoulders above any other head-hunter we have worked with, and we have no hesitation recommending her.
We exclusively retained Patricia’s head-hunting services to fill various executive roles. Patricia ensured that she fully understood the briefs and, within a prompt turn-around time; provided high-calibre, well-suited candidates. Patricia was extremely thorough in cross-checking and referencing individuals, and the CV information submitted was of the highest quality. We recommend Patricia to any organisation seeking an expert head-hunting service.
Chief Operations Officer
I worked with Patricia for some time and I found her to be pro-active and exceptionally professional. She consistently provided high quality candidates and she kept me informed throughout the process. Patricia sets very high standards for herself and she delivers on these. I recommend her to any company that is considering using her services.
Executive Head of Human Resources
Patricia provided a highly-bespoke service. The level of detail and thoroughness was top-class, and I am pleased that our global premium brand was associated with a like-minded partner. Thank you Patricia for all your hard work, dedication, and passion to ensure that ‘Project Africa’ was a great success. The entire process has been smooth, streamlined, and stress-free.
CANDIDATE COMMENT
Patricia’s precise depiction of the business need + type of person the company was looking for, and the confirmation thereof by the company; shows her commitment to finding an optimal organisation-person fit – a consideration that is crucial for both the hiring company and the individual seeking employment, but so often a failure of recruiters.
Patricia keeps candidates informed and prepared, and she avails herself outside of working hours to do so. She is certainly a head-hunter of choice.
Executive Head of Operations
The role was well explained by Patricia and consistent with conversations held with the Directors and H.R. Patricia’s in-depth knowledge of the company gave valuable insight.
One of the reasons we (candidates) go to multiple interviews at the same time is because of a lack of communication and transparency from the head-hunter; which Patricia did remarkably well. The preparation, honesty, step-by-step guidance, and regular feedback were much appreciated.
Executive Head of Marketing
Patricia was honest and extremely thorough in requesting in-depth detail to ensure that I was the best candidate to be put forward. She never hesitated to raise concerns and provide constructive criticism.
Patricia provided great detail, which I haven’t had from any other agency – she really gets to know the client’s business and company culture. Patricia she is extremely credible and an expert in the field of executive talent resourcing.
