Comfort and Confidence

John was looking for the perfect Human Resource director…someone who could roll up their sleeves and get right to work. “We consider this a very high level position,” says John. “We wanted the recruiting process to treat it that way.”

When John came to his friends at KLR with these wishes, it was clear to him that he came to the right place….again.

John and his team have enjoyed the opportunity to work with the KLR team on several search engagements through the years. What keeps me coming back?

“KLR takes the time to understand our needs, which is extremely important to us. I was confident that they knew exactly who we were looking for…and they delivered."

Through KLR, John found 11 qualified candidates. He whittled this down to five finalists, and finally, one perfect fit- Mary Tighe.

“Mary came into our company at a rather crazy time. She got right to work, and that’s exactly what we needed. Our next search will definitely be through KLR,” John says. “I’m so grateful for their flexibility and attention to our needs.”

Flexibility and Dedication

It is this flexibility that Jim Morgan feels sets KLR Search apart from other Search firms.

Jim kept in touch with Chip Goode for many years, and they had often discussed Chip’s specialization in Human Resources search placements.

After working with their internal team, Jim realized SBLI needed a more in-depth search to find their new Head of Human Resources, so they decided to contact KLR.

Once Jim made that initial call to Chip, he knew he had made the right choice.

“Their approach to fully understanding our needs prior to beginning the search process was invaluable. From the beginning, they were open to our recommendations and ready to accommodate our specific needs without hesitation.”

Rather than having candidates sit in a board room for several rounds of interviews, the team at SBLI preferred to take each candidate around the office, stopping by to introduce them to different managers, executives, and people they will be working with every day…..a process KLR was happy to accommodate.

Jim was impressed with the time and dedication the KLR team put into the candidate search. As Jim says, “They sourced a great field of candidates for us. All 8 finalists were extremely qualified.”

In the end, the “winning” candidate, Jennifer Muldoon, was the most fitting choice for SBLI, and Jim couldn’t be more pleased with his decision and KLR’s help.

“I can’t tell you how thankful I am for KLR’s professionalism, flexibility and genuine friendliness.”

Both Jim and John value KLR’s ability to truly understand their needs and provide qualified candidates for their open positions.

When asked what surprised him most about working with KLR John pauses a bit, “No surprises. And that’s a good thing.”
