How does Kenica approach the recruitment process?
At Kenica we use a targeted, systematic approach by working closely with hiring managers to specifically identify position requirements and skills, establish salary ranges, and hiring time lines. We also provide management with a broad range of staffing service options and can custom tailor these options to the unique requirements of the specific IT staffing objective.
Our search begins at the grassroots level by searching our own internal data base consisting of thousands of Information Technology professionals, many of whom have long established relationships with Kenica, and have, in many cases, worked for Kenica in the past. Kenica communicates the position requirements to a handful of select Kenica business partners who we know in advance have expertise in the specific technology discipline required. We define Kenica business partners as trusted allies who have a proven track record of competence in Information Technology recruiting and who also share our total dedicated to client service. Kenica uses internet search engines to seek out candidates with the specific skill sets required. When required, Kenica advertises the position via Internet job boards that we subscribe to.
