Kaylin Ross

I firmly believe that people are the lifeblood of any successful organization. This belief has been ingrained in me since my school days, when I recognized my passion for helping others. Guided by exceptional role models such as my parents, educators, and other influential adults, I knew that making a positive impact in people’s lives was my calling.

To pursue my passion, I equipped myself with the necessary knowledge by pursuing education in “Resourcing of Humans” within the corporate world.
With the theoretical foundation in place, I understood the importance of gaining practical experience.

Over the course of three years, I embarked on a journey of interning for the government and eventually securing a permanent position at Singamandla Retail Services, and The Unlimited Group, where I specialized in bulk recruitment.Currently, I have found my place at The Agentsy BPO, where I have the privilege of assisting numerous driven individuals in finding permanent roles.

Witnessing candidates start their journey of employment brings immense satisfaction to my daily work. Each day, as I head home, I carry with me a profound sense of fulfilment, knowing that I have not only helped organizations fill their critical positions but have also contributed to the growth and fulfilment of everyday individuals in their professional pursuits.
