They have been highly professional and a valued partner to us in our continued growth.”- CEO

“I find that KLA is superior to other recruiting companies that I have used. They have a very good understanding of the thermoforming industry and an extensive portfolio of candidates. The evaluation and filtering process of the candidate’s credentials is very good. I’m very pleased with their services..”- VP

• Because we are so deepy niched in the plastics industry, we are faster than other search firms. Typically from the day we get an assignment, to the day you have qualified people to interview, is 18 business days. These candidates will always meet our Corporate Mandate as discussed below.

• We work on both a contingency and financially committed basis. Our fill rate for contingency search over the past four years is 35%, double the national average.
