A. When I started in 2008 my core focus was recruiting in the Business Intelligence space, namely for Cognos & Business Objects professionals, but I honestly can’t remember the last time a client asked us to help find people with those technologies! I quickly carved a niche focused on ETL market and spent a lot of my days helping Informatica PowerCenter developers find their dream job. The data, technology and analytics market has evolved so much since those early days – it’s hard to keep up! Nowadays I find that whether I’m speaking to a Graduate software engineer or a Chief Data Officer, there are always fascinating insights to be gained and new technologies to be learning about.

 

A. This is twofold. Firstly, I love seeing members of our team grow and develop to the point where they are playing a key role at KDR, giving them the platform to achieve some of their life goals. Secondly, I love building long-lasting relationships with clients and using our expertise and range of services to enable them to make truly impactful changes to their talent attraction and retention strategies.

 

A. I have met the Queen on more than one occasion, which included performing gymnastics in front of her – needless to say she was very impressed!
