“I have used KFA Search many times and have been very happy with the results. I have also used the largest search firms in the country and have not found them to be as connected, thoughtful or resourceful. KFA Search spends time truly listening to determine our needs. Their research is very comprehensive making our dialogues rich and productive. The end results are strong leaders who enhance our company’s ability to meet and exceed commitments.”
“KFA Search is right – People do define companies. There is no doubt that our success was directly linked to the caliber of executives we employed around the globe. As a result, we took the recruitment and retention of team members very seriously. KFA Search became an integral partner and helped us recruit several of our most outstanding executives. KFA quickly gained an understanding of our business needs, embraced our culture, and shared our commitment to always finding the highest quality executives.”
“I have had the unique pleasure of working with KFA Search as both a candidate and a client. Right from the start I was very impressed with Kathy and her team; their efficient professional manner demonstrates their genuine interest in the success of their clients and produces dramatic results. In over 25 years of working with professional recruiters I have never experienced a search that was concluded so quickly, let alone two back-to-back searches.”
“For each search, Kathy and her team took the time to understand the unique needs of the business and quickly identified a large slate of qualified candidates. Their tremendous network of individuals, coupled with an indefatigable work ethic made success inevitable. The dedication they demonstrated to finding the perfect individual to complete our team has paid off.”
“I have used Kathy Fehling and the team at KFA Search to fill positions more than a dozen times. The candidates they present are exceptional and meet even our most highly-specialized requirements. Kathy and her colleagues know our industry and our company, and they’re always professional and very collaborative.”
“I am a huge fan of KFA Search and Kathy Fehling. KFA has both placed me as a board member and done high-level executive searches for my companies. Additionally, Kathy has given me some of the best career advice I have ever received – she has served as a trusted sounding board and advisor on several occasions.”
“In my experience, the big-name firms are always happy to talk to you when there’s money to be made on an active search, but you’re not going to get the same level of continuous and thoughtful interaction you get with KFA Search. What makes Kathy and her team stand out is their commitment to getting the very best fit for everyone involved. It’s more than a transaction to them.”
“KFA Search presented a slate of 12 highly qualified candidates within 30 days. I met with six on the first round, and two made it to the finals; either of the two would have been an excellent candidate for the role. The quality and timeliness of the process is among the best I have experienced. From the time of the initial consultation to candidate selection, offer and closure, the search was completed in 90 days and with extensive detail at every step — candidate profiles, references, background checks.”
“When I think of KFA Search, what jumps to mind are the firm’s impressively-efficient search process, high-quality upfront work and, most importantly, candidates who exceed expectations.”
“Our engagement with KFA Search was by far the most thorough, effective search process I’ve experienced with any recruiting firm. Kathy Fehling and her team did a phenomenal job and the resulting placement was a great fit – definitely one of the top hires I’ve ever made. We couldn’t be happier.”
“Unlike many recruiters, the KFA Search team is interested in more than just closing a deal and moving on to the next. Kathy went to great lengths to make sure the placement would be successful for us in the long term. She worked to understand both the capability fit and the cultural fit of the candidates in order to arrive at the best solution for our company. That kind of commitment builds relationships and leads to repeat business, which is exactly what KFA will get from me.”
“Several years ago, I was recruited by KFA Search as a candidate for the position I currently hold. I enjoyed working with the KFA team and was impressed by every aspect of the experience. Kathy and her colleagues were timely, organized, responsive, and extremely thorough. Their network is extensive, their research was exceptional, and the level of communication was just right.”
“In contrast to some of the larger, more well-known recruiting firms I’ve worked with in the past, the process with KFA Search felt less like a transaction and more like building a relationship. That relationship is still going strong today, and Kathy continues to be a valuable source of insight and advice.”
“Based on the recommendation of several colleagues, I first selected KFA Search to help identify a CEO for a very unique business we had acquired. It was a complicated search for a variety of reasons, but Kathy Fehling’s exceptional work to understand the culture of the business and the personalities involved resulted in the selection of a highly qualified CEO who is a great fit.”
“KFA completed the search in a timely manner and provided a good value for our investment. I was happy with the process, the experience and the result, and just gave them another mandate.”
