Meet the Team

Antoinette Baard, Owner

I started my career in the food industry in a laboratory, and then moved into a water lab for about 6 years.  After that, I had the opportunity to shift my career to one in sales within the waste management industry, the majority of the time servicing clients who generated hazardous waste. I accepted an offer in recruitment, one that I’ll always be grateful for; it was then that I realised how fulfilling it was to make a difference.  I was able to apply my technical background to the recruitment industry, and have enjoyed specialising in recruiting for the manufacturing sector. I’m very creative, think out of the box and am solutions driven, these attributes enable me to identify with the role and to act in the best interest of both the client and candidate.

What’s the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
I don’t have an iPod – I’m technologically challenged.

Bianca Van Rooyen, Recruitment Consultant

I joined the recruitment industry five years ago as a Sales Secretary, having prior experience in Office Support, and have been working at Fenris Personnel for the last 3 years. I have since gained extensive experience in the Scientific and FMCG industries, and my passion for recruitment grows by the day. I have completed my APSO entrance exam, and specialise in the areas of negotiation, account management, specialist recruitment, headhunting, and career advising.

Going to work and knowing that I can make a positive difference to someone’s life, be it a client or a candidate, keeps me passionate about what I do.
