Doris’s role at a long-term employer was made redundant after a restructure. Having been with the same organization for many years and from a technical background (biotechnologist), she needed help showcasing her skill.
We started by clarifying that while she was a biotechnologist, she was better positioned as a project manager. After completing her personal branding, she landed a short-term consulting position with KEMRI and later, a role in program oversight within Science for Africa.
Wilson was referred by Paul, our client, and his colleague at General Electric. They were part of a redundancy process and were fortunate to have outplacement (guidance to find another job) support from their employer. However, they felt they needed a firm with local expertise and ongoing support to help them navigate the challenges they knew they would face.
We repositioned Wilson from the narrow specialist roles common in multinationals to a general finance role, as his experience was richer. We also supported in interview coaching. He eventually landed a regional finance director role and currently serves as the Finance Director for Busara, a global research organization in the social sector.

Joshua was referred to Angled North by our recruiting partner, Sehar. She, the former head of recruitment at Kenyans Come Home and currently the Managing Director of Hyre Africa, believed that Joshua’s CV did not accurately reflect his seniority and breadth of expertise. Despite having it rewritten by a CV writing company, it positioned him for a lower-level role. At the time, he was already a high-performing Product Manager at Safaricom.
We guided Joshua through personal branding, interview preparation, negotiating and weighing between several competitive job offers. Joshua successfully secured the role of Director of Product and Partnerships at Moringa School.
