Client and Candidate Testimonials

I have worked with Mahlape for more than 2 years at Trace when she helped me build from scratch a top-notch team for the Mobile business division in various positions (Marketing, Sales, Distribution, CRM). Mahlape never missed a mark and always found great candidates for the roles. She is engaging, dependable and high in integrity. As a caring professional, she always tries to find solutions that benefit the employee and the company. Mahlape’s high caliber of character and extensive experience in the Human resources arena set her company well above others. When recruiting, it is key to rely on a contact who understands the job requirements and the culture of the company. It has been and still is a real pleasure to work with her.

The professionalism, transparency and support I received enhanced my chances on getting the role, as she ensured that I was well briefed and prepared for the role. She’s kept in touch with me post-placement. I truly had a profound and refreshing journey with Mahlape. May she and her team continue to grow from strength-to-strength.

Zanele Mandlake , Group Internal Audit – client of Mahlape’s

Mahlape is very professional and made me feel at ease from the very first step of my recruitment process which entailed sourcing me out for an opportunity at a global consulting firm, guiding and coaching me through the interview stage which led to a successful placement and growth in my career. Most recruiters will keep quiet after their candidate gets a job, but that was not the case with Mahlape. She checked up on me on various occasions and also interacted with the company which recruited me to ensure that they were happy with my skills set and that I was still the right candidate for the job. She is friendly and goal orientated and not even the restrictions of COVID-19 that were instilled in SA could deter her from growing The Skills Mine. I highly recommend her for any opportunity which might come her way and to The Skills Mine’s way.

Sinethemba Malgas (CCMP) , Company Secretary and LegaL Manager at SKX

Mahlatse Mpati helped me immensely during the recruitment process. Her professional approach is only matched by her ingenuity. The close rapport she holds with the entertainment /marketing industry makes her an extremely valuable point of contact. I would totally recommend Mahlatse for your job search requirements.

I highly recommend The Skills Mine as a service provider for your Recruitment and HR Consulting needs.
