MEET THE FOUNDER - NONKULELEKO MODISE

HR & Talent Acquisition Specialist

I founded Yongama Labour Solutions with a clear vision: to build a recruitment partner that clients can trust when they need reliable, responsive and quality talent. My goal is not simply to fill vacancies. I strive to understand the challenges facing each client, provide practical workforce solutions and build relationships that create long-term value.


As a woman-led business in the recruitment and labour solutions space, I am passionate about building a company that represents professionalism, integrity, accountability and excellence. I am equally passionate about creating meaningful employment opportunities and helping talented South Africans access opportunities where their skills can make a genuine difference.


My leadership philosophy is grounded in three principles: understand the need, find the right talent, and deliver with integrity. I believe that when recruitment is done properly, it benefits everyone; the client, the candidate and the organisation as a whole.
