Bio
Andy Selway MCIPD 🌈
I worked with Leah at Andela. Leah supported and trained me on internal TA systems when I started and was a constant help to me during my time at Andela. Nothing was too much trouble for Leah. She was proactive, efficient and always positive and happy to help. She was beyond a fantastic support to myself and also to the TA team. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Leah to any business and they would be very lucky to have her!

Leah was the Recruiting Coordinator for my team at Andela and was quickly promoted to Recruiting Analyst. She is everything you want in recruitment operations: extremely organized and detail oriented, proactive, a great communicator and always showing up with a smile on her face! She was truly a joy to work with and I would recommend her without hesitation.
