Why us?

Accessing passive candidates

The most valuable asset an executive recruiter brings is their ability to access and engage exceptional talent who aren’t actively job hunting. The majority of high-performing executives are already employed and not monitoring job boards.
KLK maintains an extensive network of these passive candidates -accomplished professionals who might consider a strategic career move for the right opportunity but wouldn’t otherwise know about your position. This expertise in tapping the passive candidate market is often the difference between settling for a good hire and securing an exceptional leader who can transform your organization.

Partnership

At KLK we become a valuable partner taking time to deeply understand your organization’s unique needs and culture, ensuring candidate alignment from the start.
Through our objective evaluation process, we assess candidates against specific criteria without internal bias, focusing on both qualifications and cultural fit.

Facilitation

We facilitate the entire process up to and including the acceptance of the offer. This involves sourcing, recruiting, interviewing, advising, negotiating and ensuring that when an offer is made the candidate is prepared to accept.
