About Career Buddy We call ourselves CareerBuddy. Most people say we are a recruiting organisation. But we are much more. What we do and how we do it aren’t as important as why we do it. Here’s our WHY: If you pay attention, you will always hear most employees are disengaged from their work. Most people hate what they do. Also, a lot of companies find it difficult to hire highly engaged professionals. We exist to solve this problem. Our vision is to help highly engaged and driven professionals navigate their careers. That involves helping them find new opportunities, supporting them with resources, access to networks, and content that helps them transform their careers. How we work Our team is small, high functioning, excellence driven, distributed. The most important thing for us is to deliver exceptional, high-quality work at all times. We don’t have an office so to speak, you can do your work from anywhere as long as your work is done. We practice idea meritocracy. That means the best idea wins regardless of where it comes from. We give direct, open feedback to help you and the team collectively perform better. We don’t have time for politics or seniority. We are obsessed with personal growth.
