Why Employers Use KEC
Great people are the cornerstone of every successful company. When KEC was formed in 1976, our vision was to differentiate ourselves from other employment agencies and temporary staffing firms. By positioning ourselves as specialists in the recruitment of all types of professional and managerial talent for any industry. We partner with our business clients to deliver superior recruitment services, thereby developing long-term relationships. And we deliver on this commitment through the implementation of a Key Account Rep model, as it helps to breed familiarity for our Recruiters. They can then better understand our clients’ workplace culture. Ultimately, facilitating a better match between the client and candidate.
Our talents and resources are further strengthened by our long-standing and award-winning membership in the National Personnel Associates (NPA). An international network of professional recruiters. The NPA enables us to leverage additional resources for our clients by expanding the geographic scope of our services across North America. Our proven track record of satisfied clients and candidates is proof positive of the effectiveness of this approach.
This highly refined approach to recruitment, also known as the KEC Process, enables us to continually meet and exceed the expectations of our clients and candidates. While never losing touch of our founding vision – to deliver highly qualified candidates to our clients for all hiring decisions. And we stand behind this process by guaranteeing the effectiveness of the hiring decisions we help to facilitate.
For it’s our belief that whenever you entrust your hiring decisions to KEC, we must deliver on this trust and respect with the integrity, attention to detail and professionalism that you’ve come expect in us.

We strictly adhere to our proven, comprehensive recruitment process. Which has been developed after many years of input from recruiters, candidates and clients.

- We visit with all our clients, which enables us to achieve a detailed understanding of the business. Along with its cultural nuances and specific needs. This helps us refine our search assignment parameters. The more we visit and personally connect with members of the leadership team, the better we are able to effectively measure the fit between the employer and the candidate.
- We undertake a thorough Initial Candidate screening process. Which begins with a phone interview, followed by an in-depth interview face- to- face in our office. This enables us to learn more about a candidate’s career experiences and accomplishments and specifically those that meet the selection criteria established by the client.
- KEC will prepare detailed summaries of each candidate selected for presentation to the client. Highlighting valuable information not necessarily displayed in the resume.
- Our team will effectively manage the scheduling of interviews, and debrief with candidates afterward to re-evaluate their candidacy. Along with measuring their motivation and interest in the opportunity. We then follow up with the client, sharing feedback to support further steps in the hiring process. Often, to maintain confidentiality in their workplaces, we offer clients the option to interview in our offices.
- We thoroughly gather reference research from former employers, peers and subordinates. In order to confirm the integrity of the information presented in the resume and interview, focusing specifically on the selection criteria.
- We stand behind each and every one of our searches. We’re confident you’ll be completely satisfied with your hiring decision.
- KEC doesn’t view a candidate’s acceptance of an employment offer as the end of our professional obligation to our clients.
