“I have worked together with Ken and Ken Leiner Associates for about 15 years both as a hiring manager and individual looking for a new role. KLA always delivered quality candidates at previous companies I worked at, so why not do it again? When I joined CyberRes, a Division of Micro Focus, it was to rebuild the US Federal Civilian business and regain lost market share. A key part of our strategy was to up-level our talent and expand roles to ensure we could meet market demands. While we have a strong footprint within the federal government, our recruiting team did not have much Federal expertise and looked to engage a company with the expertise in this space that could jump start our talent search. Beth Kandianis was assigned to our account and has honestly become an extension of my team to ensure that we bring on the right candidates that not only fit where we are today, but where we’re going tomorrow.
Beth has done an exceptional job for each role we were looking to hire. She listened to what we needed, looked for the right fit both from experience and culture and made me feel like her only client. The screening of the candidates prior to me getting them has been fantastic; the communication and follow-up ensured we moved quickly and captured the best talent possible. Beth has helped staff about 80% of my team at this point. We’ve had a lot of different needs and each territory has needed just a little something different. She’s been very good at understanding what we need for each of these roles. That has even grown to the point where we’ve been able to get her engaged with some of my peers outside of Federal. She’s helped with state and local, she’s helped with some product specialists and now, she’s helping in Canada. She’s doing an amazing job.”
