"I had a great experience working with Joanna. Her deep industry background and understanding of what employers actually need made the whole job search smoother.

She didn’t just send me listings — she matched me to roles that fit my skills and career goals.

Professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in my success. I’d recommend Joanna from Hospitality Jobs Africa to anyone looking for a recruiter who knows what they’re doing. "

Thank you to the specialist recruiters (Joann & Zana) for your support and guidance throughout the hiring process.

Your expertise, responsiveness, and encouragement were invaluable. I truly appreciate the time and effort you invested in helping me all along - I can't find enough words to thank you!

Claire Blinkhorn

"Working with Zana has been an absolute breeze and an amazing experience. From the initial call to assisting with the interview preparation and continuous communication while I was out of the country for my interview, and just the all-around amazing support that I have received from her I will very happily refer a client or candidate to her, knowing that either way they are in excellent hands. Thank you Zana for my new adventure!."

Amy Rosenkrantz

Connor Harrington

"Great experience with Kerri, she was in constant communication and very helpful, would definitely recommend their services. Kerri was professional, proficient, and friendly throughout my experience, all in all 5 stars."

Tamaryn Ward

"Cannot recommend Joanna highly enough as a hospitality recruitment specialist. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit — not just any placement. She truly understands the hospitality industry and the kind of personalities and skill sets that thrive in it.
Her communication was clear and consistent throughout the process, and I always felt supported and informed. A special mention must go to her assistant, who was absolutely priceless. Efficient, warm, and incredibly organised, she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
Together, they are a powerhouse team. If you’re looking for a recruitment agent who goes above and beyond in hospitality, Joanna is the one.
— Tamaryn"

Chad Gouws

" Kerri-Leigh was exceptional throughout the entire recruitment process. She was professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive from start to finish. What stood out most was that her involvement did not end once I secured the role. She followed up to ensure I was happy, asked thoughtful questions, and showed real initiative in making sure everything aligned with my expectations. It is clear that she cares about long-term fit and not simply filling a position. She consistently went the extra mile, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and invested recruitment professional."

I had the pleasure of having Zana Scheltema assist me with finding a job at a beautiful establishment that suits my personality to the T. The care she took with our entire process made it feel like I was the only candidate she had at a point. Very grateful for her help, putting it in words is an understatement."
