Kensington's Recruitment Process

A practiced methodology:  Proven results!!!

Step: 1

Kensington specialist meets with a designated member of your team to discuss your goals, corporate culture, and specific personnel requirements.

A customized recruitment package is designed to address each one of your company's unique needs.  A candidate submission schedule is built, relative to your project timeline, budgetary requirements, and hiring process, is then agreed upon.

Step: 2

Kensington’s industry-leading team performs targeted searches within a proprietary database (containing more than 100,000 candidates), advertises your classified job description across job boards, and leverages 20 years worth of industry-specific referrals.

Step: 3

Kensington's recruitment experts rigorously screen all potential candidates, conduct detailed telephone and/or face-to-face interviews and thoroughly understand a candidate's professional experience and capabilities relative to your specific needs.

Additional screenings include validation of technical aptitude through a 3rd party partner and interviews with Kensington Valley Technology experts, performing at least two reference checks with previous technical managers, and conducting a final quality review.

Step: 4

When Kensington Valley feels a candidate is worthy of submission, you will receive a comprehensive candidate overview, including a current resume, skills/requirements match summary, contractual rate or salary expectations, and candidate availability. Your Kensington Account Manager will work with your hiring team to schedule candidate interviews and solicit feedback from both parties post-interview.

Step: 5

When you feel you've found the right person for the job, your Kensington Account Manager works with your hiring manager to present an offer to the candidate and confirm start dates. After Kensington's 'on-boarding' process is complete (background checks), your Kensington Account Manager will walk your new team member in on his/her first day (Consultants only).

 

Step: 6

(Consultants Only) As part of our work Performance Management program, your Kensington Account Manager collaborates with your team to assess the performance of your new team member by conducting a face to face or phone evaluation on the 30th, 60th, and 90th day of his/her tenure with your company. After 90 days, performance evaluations are held on a quarterly basis.

Kensington's Account Manager then spends time individually with each Contractor/Consultant to review their performance, addresses any potential gaps, and determining whether any additional training is required or desired.
