PURPOSE & VALUES

OUR VALUES

Our daily mission is to connect the dots between a person’s potential and the aspirations of data, analytics and technology teams everywhere.

We do this by working to our values, doing the right thing and delving into the motivations, aspirations and drivers of the professionals we work with.

Our long-term vision is to unlock the full potential of the data, analytics and technology community so we speak and behave authentically and innovate our talent solutions to be the best in class.

Our culture in KDR is important to us. By living our values, we ensure our unique culture is nourished for future growth. Our values feed into our DNA, "the difference is we care", and this is reflected in the number of referrals we get from candidates who then become our clients as well as the number of clients who retain our solutions.  

WE ACT WITH INTEGRITY
Firstly, we are human in our approach and authentically “us”. We are not aggressive salespeople using tactics to get people to apply for roles. We build relationships and play the long game rather than working for short term gains. We are consultative in our approach and that flows across all the clients and candidates we work with. Internally we work with honesty and follow strong moral principles.

WE LISTEN
We believe the power of communication lies within the strength of a person’s listening skills. We actively listen to the people we work with, whether that be clients, candidates, or our internal team so that we can find people the best solutions to whatever it is they are working towards.

WE DELIVER ON OUR PROMISES
If we say we are consultative and that we listen that also means delivering on our promises, so if we have promised a call back or a client a CV, we deliver on those promises. 

It also means we don’t over promise, so understanding when we can’t help someone, because it is outside our area of expertise, is also important to us. Part of the skill of delivering on promises is to understand our own capabilities, we don’t want burnout, but we do want to provide the best service we can on an individual level.

WE WORK AS A TEAM
Internally we run a very collaborative environment. We are grown up and share wins, clients, candidates and information because we understand that together we are stronger and ultimately, we all benefit. We stand by each other through difficult times. We also act as a team for our candidates, helping them to get a role and our clients, helping internal recruitment teams or hiring managers find the best people for their business.
