Founded in 1987, VGP boasts 30 years as the premier recruitment agency specialising in the marketing, advertising, media, public relations/communications and publishing industries. Based in Cape Town and working locally, nationally and internationally, the agency is excited about the future with Wolpert at the helm as she takes the agency into its next phase of growth.
Wolpert’s tenure at VGP is testimony to her passion for the job. With 13+ years at the agency she is an integral part of the team and her 20+ years’ industry experience and expertise are well-earned. Extremely hard working, she handles a wide portfolio encompassing Creative, PR/Communications and Publishing, placing candidates from juniors to heads of department. Her hands-on approach is key to her success. Prior to joining VGP in 1997, her career in recruitment began at Ogilvy & Mather where she worked as one of the HR Officers. Tamara joined VGP in 1997, taking some time off in 2003 to start a family but re-joined the team again permanently in 2010.
In the business of people, Wolpert’s integrity is beyond reproach, making her a perfect candidate for the role in dealing with clients and candidates alike. VGP founder and Managing Director, Viv Gordon said, “Tamara is a master recruiter who, with her very well developed intuitive skills, and industry knowledge, is able to place the right candidate within a suitable environment ensuring that both candidate and client are poised for success.” Wolpert has earned the respect of her colleagues and her clients. “Her considered decision making ability allows her to troubleshoot any tricky situation,” says Gordon. Wolpert’s clients and her candidates trust that she will, without fear or favour, find them both the right "place" to work.
With the full support of the VGP team behind her, Tamara Wolpert is set to flourish as General Manager in this well-deserved promotion. “We are all very excited and I am proud of Tamara,” said Gordon, “She has grown into this position and I’m confident that she’ll continue to succeed.”
