Client Testimonial

"I have worked with Ken Leiner and Frank Munero since 1988. I have used KLA to help my teams hire sales managers, sales reps, and technical consultants.  
 
Not a month goes by where I don’t recommend KLA to colleagues who are hiring managers or themselves candidates.  KLA distinguishes itself in the marketplace by understanding their client’s needs, and then finding excellent candidates who align well with these client needs. When I have hiring requirement, I call them first.  Usually, I don’t have to call anyone else. Additionally, they have helped me personally find a position that proved to be a important step in my career.
 
KLA is not a body shop, they are a business partner.  This partnership extends to relying on Ken and Frank for advice on market intelligence, compensation planning, organizational planning, and business development partnerships.  
 
Besides being trusted advisors, Ken and Frank are good people. You’ll enjoy working with them - you might also learn to appreciate zydeco music."

Regional Vice President of Sales

"I have worked with KLA for over ten years as both a candidate and in a hiring capacity.  They have consistently done a great job on both.  If you are looking to hire be assured that the candidates they present will be well qualified and a solid match for your needs.  We have hired over 80% of the candidates they have presented and they are all meeting our expectations.  If you are a candidate be assured that you will be presented opportunities that are a good match for your skill set and personality which will increase your probability for success."

" What I love about our industry is that you can have fun, be competitive and make a wonderful living for yourself and your family. It may sound corny, but working with Ken Leiner and Frank Munero was a lot of fun, helped enable my company to annihilate its competition which translated into fantastic financial rewards for its employees (particularly, its field sales employees)."

"Because of this experience, KLA has become a trusted advisor of all of the members of my company's North American Sales Force as they may pursue new opportunities in their careers. Also, as a hiring manager, it is a rare occurrence to be presented with a candidate that does not reasonably fit the correct background and profile so your valuable time is never wasted. More importantly, Ken and Frank took the time to understand the culture of our company. Coupled with a great screening ability, they have a strong sense of which candidates would "fit in well" with our world class sales force."

"I have recommended Ken and Frank to numerous sales and technical people as well as venture capital companies. My only disappointment is that in working with them since 1991 (during which time I think over 20 people were hired through KLA) they have only bought me lunch once."

"My off the cuff comments about Ken (Leiner) and Stuart (Neuwelt)- it's been a delight to work with Ken Leiner Associates. In fact, for my management searches I've used Ken exclusively.

What I like about Ken and Stuart is they do an excellent job screening. Most of these executive search firms just throw anybody and everybody at you. Ken really does a good job of matching up what my requirements are and he screens the folks very appropriately so the candidates I do see... I'd say that at least 90% of them are a pretty good match... their skills are pretty well matched to what my business requirements are. You can even quote me on that if you want to."

I'd like to thank you and your staff for the attention offered to me during my career search. You and all of the members of your staff were certainly attentive to my needs and very professional in your dealings with me.

I would especially like to recognize Stuart for being my sponsor, coach and mentor within your organization. Stuart was extremely helpful, professional, attentive and a great sounding board for the various opportunities that were presented to me. We spoke often and at all times of the day and week and Stuart always maintained his great attitude. It was a real pleasure working closely with Stuart.

The more time that goes by the more I am certain the opportunity at Sun is going to be a great move. From the first time I spoke with the manager at Sun and with the ongoing discussions and interviews, I knew it was a great place to excel. I'm looking forward to Monday, October 9th.

Ken, thank you again and continued success. With the people you have within your organization, there's no question as to why KLA is the leader in the industry.

Best wishes,
Scott Schaefer

Once again I'd like to thank you for the outstanding work that you've done to get me the new position at Wind. Through the years, I've worked with various recruiters. Many times this has been a real pain, as most gave me the impression that they're out to make a quick $. KLA's approach was different, however. From working with you guys, I received the sincere feeling that you were very much concerned with making sure that I made the "right move" at this stage in my career. I could have easily jumped on the first viable opportunity, and made the "wrong move". However, there is no doubt with your coaching and logic, that I can rest assured that I did the right thing. I will recommend your organization to others who I know may be "looking."

Thanks,
Mark Horvath

As a high-technology professional, it's important to me that my recruiter truly understands the IT job market and can accurately represent new opportunities. As a client of Ken Leiner Associates for over 6 years, I can honestly say that they are connected to more quality career opportunities in high-tech than any other recruiter I have contacted. Ken and his team match quality opportunities to quality individuals, and they take the time necessary to ensure satisfaction from both constituents. As technology evolves at an incredible pace, it's important to me to have a relationship with KLA that ensures my skills are always put to the best use. Working with KLA has allowed me to accelerate both my potential and my career. I continue to encourage others to experience the same level of personal service and results that I have received from working with KLA.

I want to express my sincerest thanks and appreciation for all that you and your company have done for me. I love my new job, it is a perfect match for me. Down the winding road, I worked with many of your employees. Frank, Dan, Amy each of them worked diligently and very professionally with me. Please extend my thanks to each of them, and the others that I may have forgotten. Most of all, I want to express my appreciation to Stuart. Stuart hung with me from start to finish, and he was always available, supportive, professional, and dependable and too many other good adjectives and adverbs to list.

I wish you and your team the best of luck and fortune in the future. If you ever need a reference - pick me.

Warm Regards,
Keith Haller

"Ken Leiner Associates met my every expectation during my search process. They provided thorough insight into the position requirements and the interview procedure of the company (Hewlett-Packard) with which I interviewed. This made me very comfortable with my decision and the overall process. I would highly recommend my recruiter and his company, KLA, to anyone seeking fast, professional and confidential career placement assistance."
