Jo-Anne Strydom
Jo-Anne Strydom, a well known personality in the recruitment industry in Johannesburg and Cape Town, has 19 years experience in this competitive arena and places her focus on placing top talent in top companies.
Jo-Anne spent seven years developing a PR, Communication, Publishing and Events portfolio within a specialist recruitment agency. She added a Marketing division to her portfolio and developed a strong candidate and client base in her areas of speciality.
“My main focus is building strategic alliances and adding value to clients and candidates on all levels”
During the last two years she added the full recruitment function of permanent, contract and temporary staff within a generalist recruitment agency to her extended portfolio list. Jo-Anne also received the Millionaires Club Award for achieving revenue of over a R1 million (gross profit).
Jo-Anne’s networking skills are massive both in person and online. She cultivates relationships and understands that all solid relationships are built on quid pro quo: doing something for someone who, in turn, does something for you. It is this give and take that makes for success, and she is willing to share her career advice, mentoring skills and technical expertise. In return she gets the loyalty and commitment of many candidates and ‘hiring’ managers, building incredible long term relationships.
Through social media, email and phone calls, she uses her networks as marketing channels and targets these for specific functions and sometimes even for specific hiring managers.
Jo-Anne knows how to steer the right candidates to your organization because she has deep knowledge of the needs and capabilities of each through her networking skills and ability to influence.
