CLIENT SERVICES

I regularly have to recruit for both full time and contract resource in order to keep up with the ever increasing demand on my department. In order to fill these roles as quickly as possible, I rely heavily on external agencies with differing levels of success. KDR is by far the best agency that I deal with and I put this down to the fact they specialise in the data and analytics space. It is not an exaggeration to say that for every good CV I receive from other agencies, I get 10 from KDR. Of these 10, each candidate has already been pre-screened ensuring that I only conduct interviews with truly capable candidates.

I can also testify to this from a candidate perspective as KDR recruited me into my current position.

It is safe to say that KDR is top of my preferred supplier list and I intend to use them for all of my recruitment needs for the foreseeable future.

KDR were selected to help the Group Data Office fill a number of permanent Data Governance vacancies having exhausted our luck with agencies on our preferred supplier list. KDR were engaged due to their data expertise and access to a solid candidate base in the immediate and surrounding areas, key criteria we felt were necessary to attract talent in a challenging market.

This choice proved to be an excellent one as within days a good selection of candidates were presented to us that had been properly screened (NOT keyword filtered as some agencies do) and briefed on the roles available. In fact, KDR as the first real point of engagement between prospective candidates and us, understand the need to create a good first impression and had taken the time to visit our offices, understand our organisation, its culture, our team ambitions and of course the specifics of each role.

As a result of this approach we were able to fill the vacancies in relatively short order with high quality candidates and found that KDR were quick to respond to process issues and requests to keep the process moving efficiently.

I would highly recommend using KDR for specialist recruitment.

It’s not unheard of for us to make a job offer to the first person they send us. This has saved us so much time and hassle, it’s invaluable!

KDR Recruitment has exceeded my expectations having successfully recruited for our Deal Analytics function over the past 18 months.

I engaged with KDR to assist in expanding our Data & Analytics practice with Deal Advisory which isn’t an easy task as we need to balance deep analytics and deals/consulting backgrounds. Their specialist industry knowledge became apparent in their methodical approach in qualifying the requirements, providing relevant candidates and insight into current market conditions.

KDR successfully placed 4 high-calibre mid to senior level candidates into my team and the quality of the profiles received from KDR surpassed what we had seen elsewhere. KDR brought a good blend of technical as well as consultative skills.

If you’re hiring for data, technology and analytics professionals and want to partner with someone who genuinely cares about your needs as a hiring manager, I definitely recommend using KDR.

It’s quite difficult to find good candidates with the required skills in biology and coding that we need for all our bioinformatics positions. We noticed a distinct increase in the quality of candidates coming through Max when compared to the other agencies that focused on either coding or biology but not both together. Not only was this useful for our hiring pipeline, but also gave us confidence that we didn’t have to lower our high standards for the people we were looking to hire.
