| We
believe that our job as recruiters is more than matching skill
sets to project requirements. Our programmers aren't just
tools -- they are individuals with very distinct personalities,
work schedules, work habits, goals and aspirations. All these
things are taken into consideration when considering a candidate
for a project. We understand the importance of matching the
best professional to the job.
We
also feel that our customers require more than just superb
technical skills to complete their projects. They
need men and women who are dedicated team players, flexible,
responsive individuals who understand the importance of deadlines
and budgets, people who can be counted on to get the job done.
We understand the importance of each side of the equations
being happy with the choice and the results, therefore we
review every project and match each individual with the requirements
of the job on a person by project basis.
Recruitment
Process
A
recruiter reviews the candidate's resume, work history, professional
development, and education to determine the candidate's technical
expertise. When the candidate's skills and background
meet the requirements for an open position, an initial phone
interview is conducted. (Phone interviews include, but are
not limited to, identifying the candidate's skill set, authorization
to work in the US, desired geographic location, availability,
preferred term of employment, and desired salary range.)
Candidates who qualify for an open position are invited to
come in for a face-to-face interview that takes place with
a recruiter and an account manager. Candidates not qualified
for an open position will be retained in a database to contact
at a later date as future career opportunities materialize.
(A good candidate is never forgotten!)
KLD,
Inc. verifies technical expertise by either an interview with
an experienced consultant, or the candidate may take a technical
test. At this time, the candidate's references are checked.
KLD, Inc. prepares a package containing the resume, references,
and any additional information to be presented to customers.
The candidate is told specifically who the client is. KLD,
Inc. does not send out resumes or confidential information
without the candidate's absolute approval.
When
a client expresses interest in a candidate, the account manager
sets up the interview date and time and helps the candidate
prepare for the interview. As the "agent," the KLD, Inc. account
manager offers insights on the company's philosophy and business
environment. The account manager also handles salary and position
negotiations. Upon acceptance of a contract position,
the KLD, Inc. account manager will invite the consultant in
to complete all necessary paperwork which includes:
Offer letter, Federal and State tax forms, KLD, Inc's comprehensive
benefits package, and a KLD, Inc. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation,
and Non-Competition Agreement for employment.
The
job does not stop after the candidate accepts and starts the
position. The KLD, Inc. team coordinates and oversees a smooth
transition and follows up with both parties to build lasting
and rewarding relationships and assure complete satisfaction.
