Gees is a uniquely South African word meaning spirit, soul, enthusiasm, energy, and camaraderie.

Founder, Gees Talent
08 About
Meet Stephanie.
I've always been fascinated by what makes businesses grow.
Not just the strategies, products, or marketing campaigns, but the people behind them.
Throughout my career, I've worked across recruitment, partnerships, business development, commercial management, marketing, and brand strategy. These experiences taught me that the most successful companies aren't built by chance. They're built by exceptional people brought together around a shared vision.
Education
University of the Witwatersrand
Postgraduate Degree, Business Administration and Management, Commerce
University of Cape Town
Bachelor of Social Science, Psychology and Organisational Psychology
That's why I founded Gees Talent.
I wanted to create a recruitment and talent consultancy that looks beyond job descriptions and CVs. A business that takes the time to understand the ambitions of founders, the culture of organisations, and the unique strengths of every candidate.
I believe great recruitment is part science, part intuition. It's about identifying potential, recognising alignment, and making connections that create long-term value for both people and businesses.
Today, I partner with founders, startups, scale-ups, and established organisations to help them find the people who will shape their next chapter of growth.
Because recruitment isn't just about filling roles.
It's about connecting the spirit of a person with the spirit of a business.
