It is the people and how much we support each other. Kea is set up to be centred around collaboration. We would never be able to cover the breadth of roles that we do without working together to share ideas and problem solve, and always being available to offer a second opinion across the whole team structure. Everyone wants to see you grow within the firm and supports you as such.
Success at Kea means being a team player and sharing your knowledge across the team.We win as Kea, not as individuals.
I chose to study Neuroscience as I find it motivating and interesting to learn new things. One of my modules was exclusively focused on recent discoveries and breakthroughs in the field of Neuroscience (which definitely comes with its own challenges!). Although headhunting is a little different in content to my degree, the opportunity to hear and digest new information is similar and vast. Not only in regard to learning about new deals, but also understanding how someone’s decisions have shaped their journey so far, or how someone thinks about a topic in a completely different way to me, and I find that to be highly engaging.
Learning something new from every conversation I have. Whether it’s a deep dive into a niche topic within software, discussing a new health-tech start-up, or even getting a recommendation for my next holiday!
Being curious. The best way to add value is to ask questions and listen. At Kea we all enjoy talking to people but we also enjoy listening and learning, which allows us to truly understand the needs of clients and candidates.
