Wendy Grandmaison

Principal Consultant

BA Psychology

Wendy’s recruitment career spans more than 20 years. As an industry stalwart, she’s worked with global multinationals such as ABSA and Barclays, building their in-house talent attraction capabilities; she’s also worked ‘in the trenches’ with local and global executive search and recruitment firms. The theme: partnering with business leaders to find the best talent at all levels, navigating tricky corporate terrain to help key stakeholders find their ideal matches.

Over the years, Wendy has filled hundreds of roles, in financial services, manufacturing, FMCG, industrials – and beyond. She’s the executive recruitment partner you’ll want on your team, to help keep your cool when the going gets tough; her ‘fill-rate’ is exceptional!

Having a baby compelled her to pursue her people passion on her own terms, consulting independently for several years, until joining forces with Jack Hammer. Known for supporting career moms who want to be both top of their game professionally, and on the family front, Jack Hammer is the perfect place for balancing career ambition and parenting.

Wendy is a travel junkie and her passport is always ready for the next adventure. Thank goodness pandemic travel restrictions are over.
