“I reached out to Kate after struggling to identify suitable candidates for a specialist vacancy I had been trying to fill for a couple of weeks.
Within a short few hours I had been called and where almost forensic details of the role was taken along with a clear timeline for further actions.
CV’s came through quickly and the interview process was faultless with candidates arriving on time and being fully prepared.
We offered quickly and received an acceptance.
K.A.G., in particular Charlie, kept a communication line going as the candidate was also relocating which had possibilities to cause issues when they are reliant on Third Parties, but they checked in weekly to keep everyone abreast of everything.
The process was faultless and as well as having a great new colleague who is adding value to our business we also have a relationship now with K.A.G. for when we have further opportunities and also for developing existing ones too.
I also feel the biggest saving I had was time.
Cannot recommend highly enough”
“The one day interview training course run by K.A.G. was an excellent review of all the important principles around recruiting starting with CV selection all the way through to the on boarding process with a clear emphasis on considering the implications of all aspects of the process – particularly from the candidate’s point of view.
I found the course very useful, and the practical aspects clearly reinforced the important point of seeing beyond the CV.
Real world examples of how these processes can work well or not also helped to raise our awareness of the pitfalls and benefits of basing selection on CV content, language, grammar and experience and revealed that even though the candidate might not look too attractive it is almost always worth speaking to any candidates put forward by K.A.G. as they screen any potential applicants so any CV forwarded has already been assessed and found to be suitable in some respect not always readily apparent.
Interviewing techniques were also covered and provided a very useful guide to ensuring that the interviewer is able to get a clearer idea of the person’s strengths and weaknesses by asking the right questions and that also the interviewee feels they have been treated fairly and can see the opportunities and progression a career at ABP has to offer.”
“Orbital10 has recently worked with KAG to recruit a new engineer with specific skill set requirements. The initial engagement was extremely professional with KAG taking the time to fully understand our requirements and to write a specific job spec for us. The led to a number of shortlisted CV’s being presented to us within a week and a job offer being made to the successful candidate. KAG then handled the process of start dates and information required to setup the new employee so when they started, all the paperwork had been completed. We as a company were very impressed with the approach from start to finish and the speed that we received the right candidates for the position available.“

“I have used KAG from the early days and have watched the business grow. Kate has been very careful with her approach to growth and ensured that levels of service have not only remained but increased. Whilst lots of agencies will tell you they put their business clients needs first ,KAG really walk their talk. When we decided to build an internal TA team , KAG sourced fantastic candidates , whilst realising this would impact the amount of positions we asked them to work. If you want a no nonsense and motivated strategic partner for your Talent Acquisition, then I have no hesitation in recommending KAG.“
“I use K.A.G. for many reasons; they understand my team culture, the industry I work in, the values of my company and because they know the type of person we’re looking for, they find people not only with the right skill set but people who are a great fit for the team. K.A.G. really differentiate themselves with the added value they provide. They maintain an ongoing relationship with colleagues, and this allows us to retain colleagues more effectively.”
“I am extremely satisfied with the friendly and efficient service given by KAG recruitment. Most recruitment agencies are time consuming and blinkered in their approach, churning out CVs without a personal service with slow turnaround times. But with KAG, I have found the service to be first class, value for money and personalised to match candidates to our job roles.”

“We engaged Kate K.A.G. to hold a session with our talent team specifically looking at creative job advert writing and making the most out of their social media presence. The day was informative and interesting, and the team enjoyed the additional one to one sessions Kate offers following the team training. We have seen an increase of social media activity from the team connecting with our existing and new social fans.
Thank you, Kate, for your time and expertise!”

“I met Kate on the off chance from a speculative call, straight away we found common ground and challenges we both see in the recruitment process. It was lucky at that time I had a vacancy I couldn’t fill, I said to Kate I’ll give you one opportunity and if you succeed then I will use you going forward, after this point Kate was very specific in spending time understanding the role and the brief. I wasn’t bombarded with a million CV’s but very specific few which all hit the brief and we appointed someone who has been brilliant for the business. Since then any roles i have there is only one person I’m speaking to which is Kate, we have gone onto fill more roles from Kate and the team at K.A.G. Kate and the team at K.A.G. are brilliant, they are always there for catch up’s even outside of the standard 9 – 5.”

Her professionalism and commitment were evident at every stage — from clearly explaining the job role and preparing me for interviews to promptly following up with feedback and updates.
What impressed me even further was Kate’s continued support beyond my start date, which truly reflects how much she cares about the individual.
Based on my very positive experience, I can confidently say that KAG are the people you want by your side. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone navigating the often daunting journey of starting a new career or changing employment”

Andrea did a brilliant job at explaining the environment and culture of my potential role and what my future may look like if I joined. She also offered valuable guidance on how to approach each interview stage, which even extended into the first few weeks after I had joined.
After my professional, effective and easy experience with K.A.G, I recommend them to anyone looking to start their career.”
“I received a call from Adejah at KAG to discuss an opportunity they had available. After speaking to Adejah, I was then booked in to have a full call with Charlotte (Charlie :)) to go over my CV and experience and see if I was a good fit for the role.
Charlie was very thorough and explained the role and the person spec that the company were looking for. She then called me back to say they wanted to interview me the following week via teams – Charlie went out of her way to call me after 5pm to deliver the good news! I was then invited to a face to face interview and had a presentation to prepare. Charlie provided me with some invaluable hints and tips to help my presentation stand out. She checked in with me every step of the way including the call to confirm I had an offer!
The process from start to finish was seamless and KAG will always have my full recommendation for anyone looking for a new role or any business looking for recruitment support. Thanks so much Charlie and all of the KAG team!”

Starting to look for a new role after 20yrs being with the same company was a huge challenge, especially at my age (55), and after having no success with other recruitment companies I was happy to have been contacted by Andrea and KAG.

Highly recommended to all, seeking a new professional challenge!”
“I originally wasn’t looking for a new job but Andrea contacted me on LinkedIn about a great new opportunity she had for a leading company. After a phone call describing the role and the type of candidate they were looking for I applied, went through the interview and was offered the role within two weeks. The support I had from Andrea in the lead up to the interview was invaluable and helped me settle any last minute nerves. After receiving the offer, having Andrea and Kate just a phone call/email away made asking questions big or small easy to do so. This helped making the move a lot smoother. Andrea was there right up to my first week checking in that everything was ok and wishing me luck! I’m loving my role and excited to see where my career goes and I have Andrea and the K.A.G team to thank for that.”
“Working with Andrea and Kate has been a pleasure. I spoke to both of them about the kind of role I was looking for. I found both of them really professional and attentive.

“I’m really thankful for all KAG have done for me. They reached out to me about a role that they thought suited me and I’m so glad they did. It’s hard to get on the employment ladder and this is the step I needed to take me onto the next stage. They helped me prepare for the interview and have even been available to me after getting the role offering continuous support.“

They explained the role and graduate programme in tremendous detail and were extremely knowledgeable about the company they were representing.
Kate came across really personable and engaging and took the time to coach me through the application and selection process, so I felt fully prepared when it came to the assessment centre.
