Data Analytics, Governance & Insights Chipo Riva

Before her amazing recruitment career, Chipo had a brief stint as a stand-up comedian. But her recruitment skills are no joke. She’s our very own Data Analytics, Governance & Insights Recruiter, connecting brilliant candidates with our awesome clients — and turning every hiring brief into a casting call for the perfect performance.

As well as recruitment and comedy, Chipo’s ecliptic career also includes acting, with credits in some major movies, including Thor and Mad Max. But her commitment to recruitment isn’t an empty jester, it’s a career she genuinely loves. 

Her recruitment skills deliver a punch. Line her up against her competitors and she’ll outperform them again and again. Give her an assignment and she’ll knock knock it out of the park. Heck, all of her candidates love her, she’s a real stand-up recruiter. Her competitors sometimes under-estimate her, but they soon find that the joke’s on them. 

When Chipo told everyone she wanted to be a recruiter AND a comedian they all laughed at her.  Well they’re not laughing now.

My Secret Sauce

I build relationships before I build shortlists — and that’s not just a tagline, it’s backed by data. Throughout my recruitment career, I’ve placed over 150 professionals into technical roles, with a 97% retention rate during probation. This is because I don’t just match skills—I match people.
Now, I specialise in Data Analytics, Governance, and Insights — roles where the briefs are complex, the stakes are high, and the right hire makes a measurable difference. I ask thoughtful questions, read between the lines, and move efficiently without compromising fit.
Clients say I “get it.”
Candidates say I actually listen.
Google and website reviews back them both — from my early days supporting multiple desks to now, where I recruit deep specialist roles that demand trust, accuracy, and consistency.
Every brief is a puzzle worth solving — and I don’t waste time with the wrong pieces. 
My referral pipeline wasn’t built on luck; it’s the result of deliberate delivery and a reputation for honest, consistent performance people remember.
I’m not here for quick wins — I focus on long-term value, delivered with accuracy and trust.
