so many client stories to share! here are a few:

I have worked with KLA over the last 20 years, first as a candidate and then as a hiring manager…

Integrity is a big part of the KLA brand. In this business, you can’t be as consistently successful over the years as they are, without it. Other recruiting companies I’ve worked with just throw everything at you. I know that if Ken, Frank or Amy call me they’ve got something to say and I’ll listen; whether it’s the search, a person, the industry or something going on–and if it’s a problem we’re going to address it head on and that goes to the core of their integrity as to how it affects business.”

I know [KLA] can’t say on their website, ‘We‘re not obnoxious like the other guys are,’ but its true.

— Kimberly Baker, VP Public Sector, Redseal Network

The value for our firm in selecting KLA was: a) reputation; b) ability to get results; and c) the fact that the principals have a robust network in the Federal space. It was a great match for us!

KLA was able to be our business partner in achieving a key objective of filling a very critical team position–Director of Federal Solutions. … Frank very effectively bridged that gap. Right away, he made a vast difference… He was able to present a small number of highly qualified candidates through a very efficient process that didn’t waste any of our time. We were impressed with KLA’s responsiveness, focus, and the quality of their candidates, and we’re very happy.

— Mark Varah, Vice President of Operations, MotionDSP

“I’ve been working with Ken, Frank and KLA for 20 years. They’re highly professional, give me a straight scoop and an honest assessment, and present candidates of great value. Finding good people takes time, it doesn’t happen overnight…

The candidates KLA have placed with me have met or surpassed my expectations. They have helped the company grow. And that’s because there’s a trust level on both sides. KLA does its “due diligence” for both sides. They really want to attract the best people.

What I think hiring managers should know, is that they’re more than just recruiters; they become a confidant, a trusted advisor. That’s very important. Part of being successful is to fill positions when you need them with the best person for that spot, but also to recognize opportunities. When KLA tells me that someone really good has popped up I will try to get a position open, because great people are hard to find no matter what.
