Our Happy Clients and Candidates
Candidates
Liz
Hayley is my go-to person when applying for both permanent and free-lance work in the lodge industry. As a ‘mature’… lady, I discovered many other agencies either didn’t respond to my CV submission, or told me I was too old or didn’t have the right qualifications! Hayley has been the only person willing to put forward my CV, knowing that often experience is more beneficial than a qualification. Through Wild Dreams Recruitment a part time position was offered to me, and then Hayley put me forward, and helped me secure a very prestigious and excellent permanent position. Hayley was excellent at communicating with me every step of the way from setting up interviews, asking how they had gone, giving honest feedback and finding out exactly what I was looking for and any concerns I may of had. She gives you a realistic picture of what to expect and how to present yourself in interview. At all times she is friendly, honest and professional. I can truthfully say that, in my 40 odd years of working, Wild Dreams Recruitment have been the most professional, communicative and helpful agency. I strongly recommend this excellent company.

Emily
I got in touch with Hayley via her facebook page – Wild dreams Hospitality. I was looking for a job… as a guide and she managed to get me a couple of interviews close together. She gave me all the background information I needed and answered my questions really well which put my mind at ease. As a foreigner, it’s not an easy process but she helped me to navigate the best way through it and even put up with to my endless calls as I deliberated which job to take! In the end I made a decision and I know it was definitely the right one….I have never been happier! Without a doubt I wouldn’t be where I am without her. Read more “Emily”
Marnus
Every lodge has it’s own atmosphere which caters towards their staff and guests. Finding the correct candidate when a vacancy… becomes available can be difficult most times for both the recruiter and the recruited. I have been extremely fortunate to have known Hayley for several years which has made the process hassle free to say the least. The professionalism and calmness that she provides through all the stages from the beginning to the end is remarkable and through this shows that each prospective candidate is valued and appreciated. She goes the extra length to assure you of any potential developments and most importantly keeps you up to date on potential interviews or prospects. Working with Hayley has made this journey of permanent and freelance safari guiding a lot easier for me and for this I am also grateful to her. Read more “Marnus”
Tracey
Hayley is highly efficient, professional, friendly and helpful.
Within hours after placing an advert on Facebush looking for a… new guiding position, Hayley had contacted me and said that she had the “perfect placement” for me.
She arranged a stay-over interview for me and gave me all the details I needed for this to take place smoothly and without stress.
I have been a guide at the Camp for four months, and absolutely love it. It is the perfect fit! Read more “Tracey”
Molly
After working at one place for 10 years I decided I needed a change and took a risk, firstly accepting… a 6 month contract hoping it may turn into a permanent role, unfortunately it didn’t. I was then recommended to contact Hayley who managed to find me a new 6 month contract, but she promised once the contract was up she would do her best to find me the perfect permanent position. I am now working at a wonderful new lodge thanks to Hayley, she is the best agent! She replies urgently and is trustworthy. I recommend her to every job seeker I meet. #goforhayleysheisthebest Read more “Molly”

Monique
After I returned from working in the United States for 4 years, I had no idea where to start looking… for a job that I would love. I received Hayley’s email from someone that knew about Wild Dreams. After I sent through my CV to Hayley she got back to me very quickly and started putting together options for interviews. Soon after that I was invited for an interview at an amazing 5 star Lodge in the Timbavati where I was soon after offered a job. I now manage an amazing 5 Star Villa at that lodge where I have now been working at for almost 3 years. I could not be happier with how fast and professional Hayley handled the whole process. She always made sure I knew everything I needed to and everything went smoothly. Wild Dreams gave me my new home and my new family which I could not be more grateful for. Read more “Monique”

Wild Dreams Recruitment is awesome! Working with Hayley was great, she was very professional, organised and helpful. She listened to… me and was able to be objective the whole time. She was consistent in following up with me and the organisation I ended up joining has been the best, most wonderful team.

Hendrik
July 2017 I went on Facebook in search for a job, after I became yet another statistic of life after divorce.… I saw the post from Hayley ‘looking for Maintenance Manager in the Hoedspruit area’ As we all know sending your cv to a labour consultant, you hardly get a reply. It was a matter of hours when Hayley replied after I sent my CV to her. Within a couple of days, I had a telephonic interview with the GM from the lodge. Hayley then mailed me that I have a sleep over, site inspection interview with the GM. To cut a long story short, I am still working at the lodge as the Maintenance manager. Hayley had an open but confidential communication with me in this period. Never was I uncomfortable in any of the questions she asked me. I felt safe knowing that my information will not leak out without my permission. She is delivering an honest and true service to her clients. Ever since I have met Hayley up until today, I found that she is professional and highly skilled in her
profession. Read more “Hendrik”
Nicky
Hayley Cooper assisted me with finding my new position at the Front Office Manager at a 5 Star Lodge. I was… nervous of choosing the right position and I contemplated many jobs & recruiters for a while, and yet when Hayley contacted me about this position, I wasn’t worried at all. I got horrendously lost on the way to my interview and when I called her, she was so willing to help me and calm me down. I must have done something right though as I have now been working here for 10 months and I have never been happier. Working with Hayley was so easy, and she always got back to me as soon as she could. Finally, after years of looking for that right job, she found my me new home and I am forever grateful to her and Wild Dreams Recruitment! If you want to work with someone who is professional, speedy with their replies and always looking out for what’s best for you, choose her, you won’t regret it! Read more “Nicky”

Sava Dunes
Wild Dreams has been a great help to us. Finding candidates for our team is not always straight forward due… to different challenges in Mozambique. The thing that sets her apart from the rest is her understanding of how the hospitality industry works, she has worked in an array of positions within the industry over a long period and as she still is in lodge management herself currently, she understands our requirements and can give good advice with regards to current market norms. Her service is incredibly professional and I have no hesitations in recommending her recruitment services. Read more “Sava Dunes”
