Kea has really helped me identify and develop my strengths. My favourite part of my job is getting to talk to interesting and forward-thinking people every day. It’s exciting to know that the candidates we place will have a direct influence on global trends and outcomes.

Success, for me, will be reaching the point when candidates and clients feel like they can trust my judgement and advice.
The key thing is really just being able to listen inquisitively. You will learn everything you need to know from your candidates and clients but you have to listen and want to understand and know more.
Pre-Kea

Having lived in several different countries and studied International Relations I have always really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world, and now I get to make a career out of it.

Day-to-day
It depends on the day and the season but I am always trying to learn more about the market by chatting with candidates and clients.

How does your personal life interplay with Kea's values?

Watching the Kea team really embody the value Drive to Improve has inspired me to constantly self-reflect and improve myself outside of work.

Relationship First
I think this value speaks to me the most because I would say that it’s been the key to Kea’s success. Kea is so successful because we recognise how human recruitment really is.
Any regrets?

My everyday professional regret is not asking a question or for advice when it’s actually the best way to learn.

My edge
is probably my excellent taste in sweater vests.
