Alfredo Perez, Full testimonial

“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.

What KLA does is to truly understand the goals, requirements, the value of the candidates, and the company culture, and those perspectives make a difference. They value the person looking, and the person hiring, and support them more than any other recruiter I’ve ever seen, resulting in quality candidates that fit the job and become long lasting employees.

Other recruiters try to fit a square peg into a round hole, sending you the same list of names whether they’re selling airplanes or toilet paper.

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. What I don’t like about KLA is that Frank doesn’t invite me to play golf and Ken doesn’t invite me to lunch. You can tell them I said that.”
