Debby Smit
Candidate Consultant
Debby has been in the HR and Recruitment space for about 12 years, most of her roles included recruitment, onboarding, training and development of employees in the hospitality, construction and mining industries. Debby recently migrated from South Africa and we are lucky she stumbled across this role at AWF. Her passion lies with helping people reach their professional and personal goals and this convinced her to make the switch from Hospitality to Human Resources. Debby loves helping people to find jobs they enjoy and bringing them more than just a pay check – fulfilment and the opportunity to reach their professional potential. Outside of work she loves traveling, exploring places and learning about the history of forgotten places.
