Have you ever spoken to someone that told you they have been married 4 times, and every time they got a divorce, it was obviously the other persons mistake or fault? Right. When I was speaking to a prospective client that was looking to fill a CEO role for a business in Congo, they told me that they had gone through 4 executive search firms before they contacted us. So, what happens is, if you don’t brief the recruiter properly, then how can you expect them to understand what they are supposed to deliver to you. So, my advice to you is, if you’ve worked with a recruiter before or a search agent and you’re not content about the results, think back and think about the briefing that was done to start the search off. Because in my opinion, the better the briefing is, the better the results will be. Just wanted to make that clear. If you want to know more about executive search in Africa, let us know.

" ...When they were searching for a general manager before I took that job, they used LinkedIn etc. The whole world was applying, and you also have to manage expectations, etc. it's just growing. Then it's too much if you cannot rely on your own network. But the good thing is that basically JobnetAfrica could handle that very well." - Tjalling Yme Wiarda General Manager, Ghana Netherlands Business & Culture Council (GNBCC) Check the full interview to see how Tjalling experienced working with JobnetAfrica recruiting a new General Manager for GNBCC.

Are recruitment fees too high? It might sometimes seem that the fee an executive recruiter charges is a huge investment for ‘just finding a candidate’. But let’s have a closer look at this. An executive recruiter, if he or she does their job right, will find you the best candidate that is out there. So now think of what this person can bring your organization, whether it is extra turnover, or opening up new markets, or saving costs or improving team results etc.. Then the initial investment to find this great new employee is only a fraction of what you are going to gain from it in the end.

Giving multiple recruiters the assignment to search for your new employee may seem like a good idea, but is it? For example, if recruiters compete with each other, they try to be fast. They will send through candidates that are desperate for a new job and readily available instead of combing through the market for top performers, which will take more time. In short, they will throw CV’s at you and hope one might stick.

Speaking to many business owners, hiring managers and decision makers, one of the topics that always pops up is ‘lack of time’. And I recognize this myself as well. You are still very much involved in the business instead of focusing on the business. Do you also not have enough time for a thorough recruitment process? So, why don’t you hire somebody to help you out? Send me an email on [email protected] and I’ll make sure to book a call to see if and how I can help you. #africajobs #jobsinafrica #executivesearchfirm #recruitmentfirm #recruitmentagency #africa #businessinafrica #executiverecruiter #opportunities #vacanciesinafrica #opportunitiesinafrica

Here is a view that tends to raise eyebrows in agribusiness boardrooms: the best CEO for an African agribusiness may not come from agriculture at all. At scale, the real constraint is rarely just production. It is often storage, processing, energy, logistics or access to markets. A recent World Bank study found that African food supply chains are around four times longer than those in Europe, and logistics alone can account for as much as 45% of the price of certain staple foods. That changes how boards should think about the search. Insisting that every candidate must have spent their whole career in agriculture can rule out exactly the leaders who could solve the problem in front of them. Someone from food manufacturing, FMCG, industrial operations, cold chain logistics or infrastructure may bring the precise skill set the business needs next. Sector experience matters. Problem-solving relevance matters more. In this short video, I unpack why boards should hire for the constraint the business needs to solve next, not simply for the industry on the CV. Take a look, and let me know which capability gap you have seen catch a board off guard.
