Joining Kea was an exciting transition after almost 8 years at a buyside recruiting firm in New York. What drew me in was Kea’s relationship-first approach (with both clients and candidates), which was clear from my very first introduction to the team and has only been reaffirmed throughout my time here. The company’s commitment to human connection and its culture of giving team members the space to take ownership and lead made it clear that this was the right place to grow in a new environment, both professionally and personally.
