A Modern Recruiting Philosophy

Using modern recruiting techniques, our team develops an expanded big picture understanding of the
labor market unique to each position. We custom tailor our search to the characteristics unique to your
agency and team. We take the time to understand which candidates are relevant and why, enabling us
to make strong recommendations. We deploy innovative technologies to combine our own internal
network and expand the candidate pool across the web. Having served the public-sector for 35 years, we
have an empathetic understanding of various cultures and dynamics and the individual candidate plight.
We intend to guide placements that develop an improved workplace for your team.

Diversity & Inclusion

Having conducted countless executive search efforts has made K&A Recruiting an expert in identifying,
targeting, recruiting, and successfully placing women and minority candidates in many of our
recruitments. Being a State-registered small business, our firm has a vast pool of resources at our
fingertips when designing a successful advertising campaign that targets women and minorities. These
resources include a network of diverse professionals from whom we can request referrals, job boards
geared toward minorities and women, and a pool of candidates from prior recruitments that includes a
diverse set of candidates. In addition, we have worked with other clients who value diversity and have
requested specific strategies such as assembling interview panels that include diverse populations.

All candidates are afforded the full opportunity to submit applications in response to each opening and
are not discriminated against on the grounds of age, ancestry, color, race, gender, gender identity, gender
expression, transgender status, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, military and
veteran status, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or disability in consideration of any
application.
