WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AT WORK?
All jobs are different, right? That is undoubtedly true, and we all have individual personalities, skills and preferences that make us suitable for a particular role. Yet, there are some universal needs we must satisfy at work that go beyond the 'stuff' we do day-to-day. When we launched LUKA GLOBAL in late-2019 we thought about those needs for ourselves, and by extension for anyone that was going to join us on our journey. Here are some of the questions we posed...
Is what I do interesting?
Every job we work on is unique. Our clients are often inventing the first job of its kind in the world - because what they are doing has never been done before. We get to work directly with the founding team and they treat us as a trusted adviser on recruitment matters. Every placement counts because it is always a key hire for a small but growing company.
Is what I do meaningful?
Our clients are working on the leading edge of innovation, the placements we make help them to build the foundational team that will drive their business forward. As they grow we come on the journey with them. It's really very rewarding.
Is what I do varied?
Our niche competency is working with high-tech start-ups - for all their needs. No two companies are the same and we love learning about what they are working on. Also, we help them with whatever role is their pressing need - we are team builders. That means we can be searching for a board member one month and an office manager the next - a scientist followed by a business developer.
Do I like who I'm working with?
We think we are nice people... but that is not what this is about. We love working with our clients. They are visionaries, innovators, doers and are always passionate about their business. When we help them their gratitude is palpable and 75% of the work that we do is repeat business - which says something about how we are valued.
Will I be able to grow?
We see enormous potential for growth in a niche that is underserved by traditional recruitment providers. That means that we are looking for people with a desire and potential for growth - who want to contribute to our own evolution and come on the journey with us. Our sector is highly fluid with new clients coming into existence constantly.
