Chiaka Ugwuegbulam is our amazing Recruitment Advisor and she brings with her a wealth of experience in employment. Having worked in the fast-paced NHS environment, she now channels that expertise into helping Keplin attract and secure exceptional talents.

When did you start working at Keplin?

August 2025.

What's a typical day like in your role?

A typical day for me is a mix of detective work and people wrangling! I’m screening CVs, chasing candidates, and juggling interview schedules, all while keeping hiring managers happy. There’s also a fair bit of admin and pre-employment checks - but honestly, I like that it keeps me on my toes. No two days are the same, and I never know if I’ll be a matchmaker, problem solver, or firefighter next!

What skills have you developed since joining?

Since joining, I’ve developed a lot of HR expertise beyond recruitment. I’ve gained experience developing and implementing effective employee induction processes and managing personnel records. I’ve also improved my understanding of HR policies, employment law, and company procedures, and I’ve been involved in employee relations tasks like addressing queries and supporting managers with HR guidance. Overall, I’ve become more confident in balancing the operational side of HR with supporting people effectively.

What's your favourite part about working at Keplin?

Honestly? The people. Everyone’s supportive, collaborative, and always ready to have a laugh - it makes even Monday mornings feel a little less Monday-ish. Plus, I secretly enjoy the thrill of finding that perfect candidate match for Keplin.

What would you say to someone who's thinking about joining Keplin?

Absolutely go for it! You won't regret it.  If you enjoy variety, picking up new skills, and working with a team that actually cares (yes, really), you’ll fit right in. 

Last question, what do you like to do outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy having some time for me, myself and I. Relaxing and recharging with spa treatments, exploring new restaurants and savouring fine dining experiences. I also love creating lasting memories with friends and family to look back on and cherish.
