Retained Management & Executive Search

Kinney Search Group principals bring over 25-years combined experience in Management & Executive Search to the table. In our travels, we have found that the most effective organizations have been built around the concept of targeting and “hand-picking” the best management talent the market has to offer; those who are currently leading and advancing other organizations through their efforts. It is our mission to accurately research, target, and recruit these top “passive candidates” into your organization.

Talent Scout Service (for Top IT Practitioners)

The most difficult and time consuming positions to fill are those that require a high level of domain expertise in certain technologies or processes. These individual contributors are the lifeblood of your organization. When such a position arises, you usually need it filled yesterday. However, competition for this top IT talent requires much more than merely sourcing and processing candidates. You need proactive agents in the field constantly identifying and acquiring the best current and emerging talent working today.  read more »

Another significant challenge facing IT organizations is that of building a proactive internal recruiting force. Kinney Search Group offers a 2-day, on-site direct-sourcing workshop for your recruiting staff that covers the following subject matter:
  • Definition and development of research and name generation resources.
  • Employing aggressive recruiting tactics for identifying and approaching passive, non-fee candidates.
  • Contact management strategies and tools to improve recruiter efficiency.
 

“We had a very difficult search that KSG filled very quickly. However, on rare occasion a candidate just does not work out long-term. It wasn’t a result of holes in their screening process nor ours—it just didn’t work out. When notified of this situation, Don Kinney’s team responded by completing the search again, no questions asked. Better yet, they informed me that it fell under their free replacement guarantee; one that I didn’t realize we had. I’ve always liked working with them, but it was their response during this difficult situation that really impressed me.”
