CLIENTS

Accelerate Your Recruitment Process

Kinetic Search Group offers customized recruitment support for all levels of sales, leadership, engineering, and supply chain positions. We are flexible in our approach and bring our knowledge and energy to every assignment helping you achieve your recruitment goals.

We offer a tiered service platform that allows our clients flexibility in the depth of our working relationship based on their recruitment needs and plans for the organization.

Tier 1 ^ Standard Search

Whether it is a contingent or retained search, we can find the level of candidate(s) you are seeking quickly and effectively. Our search intake process allows us to learn your needs for the position, and understand the type of candidate you seek, aiding us in our efforts to produce results. A fee-based engagement that does not require enhanced or extended relationship activities outside of the search process itself.

We have a search process that fits your needs whether it is,

  • Initiating a time-sensitive recruit to help minimize the damage of a vacant territory
  • Initiating a confidential replacement search
  • A project-based sourcing endeavour recruiting multiple disciplines simultaneously
  • Supporting a team expansion over multiple regions
  • Supporting multiple disciplines realized during a plant expansion, new location or relocation
  • Supporting the unique requirements of an emerging company transitioning (sometimes over years) from R&D and proof of concept through commercialization and revenue generation.

Tier 2 ^ Culture-Based-Recruitment

Hire for the organization, not just the position!

Culture-Based-Recruitment is offered to help support our clients that want to actively manage and develop their culture by paying formal attention during the recruitment process, rather than simply letting the culture "evolve" based on the personalities hired over time. Clients that take their corporate culture seriously, and protect it vigorously, actively market this step in the process to prospective candidates. This helps to attract those who will thrive in their organization and repels those who would be better off working elsewhere. 

Our C.L.E.V.E.R. process is developed and administered with clients that form a true partnership with us, treating Kinetic recruiters as an extension of the company itself. We have the technology to assess the attributes and values of the culture-leaders of any organization and use this data to enhance the recruitment process. This additional step provides our partner clients with the ability to objectively gauge the cultural fit of any prospective employee helping to validate or alleviate the gut-feelings that were discovered during the interview phase. This step is applied after the capabilities for the specific job have been confirmed. This additional step enhances the hiring process and does not negatively affect your hiring timeline.

Culture-Leaders-Establishing-Values-Enhancing-Recruitment

Tier 3 ^ Engagement & Retention Support

This is an extension of our C.L.E.V.E.R. approach and is offered to clients seeking a third-party or neutral consulting service to support employee engagement and retention. Our partner clients see tremendous value in this additional service to help protect and support their culture. Retaining the employees sought out specifically by an organization after spending the time, energy and financial resources required to secure them is a critical part of managing and strengthening organizational culture. This service is only offered once culture-based-recruitment has been implemented and requires a monthly retainer. This support goes beyond the recruitment of new employees and aids in the retention of all employees! 

Through the use of specialized software we implement and help manage the pulse of your organization through employee engagement surveys. By routinely tracking the ever-changing feelings of your employees you can address potential issues before they become a problem and help avoid an unfortunate departure. A third-party process like this will allow for a more accurate assessment of the pulse of your organization and overall employee engagement over time. This can be done corporately and for specific groups or departments within the organization. This allows you to understand your overall employee engagement as well as the feelings within specific divisions of your business that would not otherwise be visible.

*This information is very valuable, and at times required to share with board members to confirm the pulse of the company over the course of the year.

 

 

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Psychometric Tests

These aptitude assessments are a common part of the job interview process for many clients. This is a service that is available upon request during the initial onboarding of a search. They generally consist of a series of timed questions often involving aspects of numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, inductive reasoning, logical reasoning, diagrammatic reasoning, and situational judgment.

Other assessments can be leveraged by our clients that partner through Kinetic Search Group. Through investing additional time, we help create a “benchmark” standard where the traits of current high performing employees are measured and compared to the results of prospective candidates seeking employment in a similar position. This tool allows companies to see how well an applicant aligns with the traits of successful employees to the position being considered.

Hosted and Facilitated Interview Process

Kinetic offers the opportunity for our clients to use a neutral location for hosting interviews. Our consultant will host the day, facilitate the candidate introductions and movement and (at times) join the client interviews when requested.  This helps to minimize issues and assure confidentiality, ensure a smooth day of meetings within a predefined schedule, and speed up candidate screening.

Pre-employment Screening

Reference and background verifications are conducted upon request and may include some or all of the following: educational background, employment timelines and history, criminal background, credit background and identity verification to confirm the overall validity and qualifications of the candidate for a job.

CANDIDATES

Align Your Employment Search Objectives

Resume Review and Evaluation

Once contacted by a Kinetic Consultant, a verbal resume and employment review will be requested to start the process. Once complete the consultant will provide feedback associated with your resume to ensure a proper and accurate presentation of your background. If required, once the recommended changes have been made and the updated resume has been re-submitted, an in-person meeting may be requested at that time to advance the process. During the verbal or in-person review, specific opportunities may be discussed at any time once suitability has been determined.

Interview Preparation

A significant benefit while working with a Kinetic consultant is the enhanced level of communication you will receive during the entire process. You will be provided substantially more information than a job posting can detail before you even decide to pursue a position. This will help you properly prepare and assess the opportunity during all interview stages to determine interest and suitability. A Kinetic consultant will stay in contact with you and the client the entire time to provide updates and to plan for the next steps. We will ensure you have all the information you need to present yourself as well as possible and to make confident decisions throughout the process.

Psychometric Tests

Aptitude assessments are a common part of the job interview process and support the hiring process for many of our clients. Our candidates have the opportunity to self-assess during their employment search and request an assessment. We can administer the assessment and then apply the results to gauge suitability or fit for many different types of positions. This assessment can help candidates confirm suitability for positions they are interested in pursuing or identify roles that were not being considered but may be a strong fit. Your Kinetic consultant will provide a written report with valuable feedback for self-reflection based on the responses.
