We’re connected!
Getting someone’s name and title is easy. But building a relationship takes time, hard work and trust. At KLA, we’re well “connected” through long-standing relationships with our clients and candidates. They know us, trust us, work with us and want to stay in touch with us. Why? We have intimate marketplace knowledge and a passion for growing companies and careers. But let them tell you why KLA is their “go-to” search firm:
Testimonials
"I have worked with KLA for over 15 years and had great success with the candidates that they have found for me. The primary differentiator at KLA is the time that they take to know their candidates. They make an effort not only to match a candidate's previous experience to the technical requirements of a job, but also to match that candidate's goals and selling style to the corporate culture of my company. The end result is a sales rep or manager who consistently exceeds their sales goals and stays with the company to build his or her business within my team."

"I have worked with Ken Leiner and Frank Munero since 1988. I have used KLA to help my teams hire sales managers, sales reps, and technical consultants.
Not a month goes by where I don’t recommend KLA to colleagues who are hiring managers or themselves candidates. KLA distinguishes itself in the marketplace by understanding their client’s needs, and then finding excellent candidates who align well with these client needs. When I have hiring requirement, I call them first. Usually, I don’t have to call anyone else. Additionally, they have helped me personally find a position that proved to be a important step in my career.
KLA is not a body shop, they are a business partner. This partnership extends to relying on Ken and Frank for advice on market intelligence, compensation planning, organizational planning, and business development partnerships.
Besides being trusted advisors, Ken and Frank are good people. You’ll enjoy working with them - you might also learn to appreciate zydeco music."

"I have worked with KLA for over ten years as both a candidate and in a hiring capacity. They have consistently done a great job on both. If you are looking to hire be assured that the candidates they present will be well qualified and a solid match for your needs. We have hired over 80% of the candidates they have presented and they are all meeting our expectations. If you are a candidate be assured that you will be presented opportunities that are a good match for your skill set and personality which will increase your probability for success."

"What I love about our industry is that you can have fun, be competitive and make a wonderful living for yourself and your family. Working with Ken Leiner Associates was a lot of fun. As a hiring manager, I was presented with candidates that fit the correct background and profile. Our valuable time was never wasted. KLA took the time to understand the culture of our company. Coupled with a great screening ability, they have a strong sense of which candidates would “fit in well.”
KLA became a trusted advisor of our company. They helped us recruit a world class sales force which annihilated the competition. We sold the company for over $940 million, which translated into fantastic financial rewards for its employees. I have recommended Ken Leiner and Frank Munero to numerous sales and technical people as well as venture capital companies.
My only disappointment is that in working with them since 1991, they have only bought me lunch once.”

"My off the cuff comments about Ken (Leiner) and Stuart (Neuwelt)- it's been a delight to work with Ken Leiner Associates. In fact, for my management searches I've used Ken exclusively.
What I like about Ken and Stuart is they do an excellent job screening. Most of these executive search firms just throw anybody and everybody at you. Ken really does a good job of matching up what my requirements are and he screens the folks very appropriately so the candidates I do see... I'd say that at least 90% of them are a pretty good match... their skills are pretty well matched to what my business requirements are. You can even quote me on that if you want to."

"I'd like to thank you and your staff for the attention offered to me during my career search. You and all of the members of your staff were certainly attentive to my needs and very professional in your dealings with me.
I would especially like to recognize Stuart for being my sponsor, coach and mentor within your organization. Stuart was extremely helpful, professional, attentive and a great sounding board for the various opportunities that were presented to me. We spoke often and at all times of the day and week and Stuart always maintained his great attitude. It was a real pleasure working closely with Stuart.
The more time that goes by the more I am certain the opportunity at Sun is going to be a great move. From the first time I spoke with the manager at Sun and with the ongoing discussions and interviews, I knew it was a great place to excel. I'm looking forward to Monday, October 9th.
Ken, thank you again and continued success. With the people you have within your organization, there's no question as to why KLA is the leader in the industry."
Best wishes,
-- Scott Schaefer
"Once again I'd like to thank you for the outstanding work that you've done to get me the new position at Wind. Through the years, I've worked with various recruiters. Many times this has been a real pain, as most gave me the impression that they're out to make a quick $. KLA's approach was different, however. From working with you guys, I received the sincere feeling that you were very much concerned with making sure that I made the "right move" at this stage in my career. I could have easily jumped on the first viable opportunity, and made the "wrong move". However, there is no doubt with your coaching and logic, that I can rest assured that I did the right thing. I will recommend your organization to others who I know may be "looking."
Thanks,
-- Mark Horvath
"As a high-technology professional, it's important to me that my recruiter truly understands the IT job market and can accurately represent new opportunities. As a client of Ken Leiner Associates for over 6 years, I can honestly say that they are connected to more quality career opportunities in high-tech than any other recruiter I have contacted. Ken and his team match quality opportunities to quality individuals, and they take the time necessary to ensure satisfaction from both constituents. As technology evolves at an incredible pace, it's important to me to have a relationship with KLA that ensures my skills are always put to the best use. Working with KLA has allowed me to accelerate both my potential and my career. I continue to encourage others to experience the same level of personal service and results that I have received from working with KLA."

"I want to express my sincerest thanks and appreciation for all that you and your company have done for me. I love my new job, it is a perfect match for me. Down the winding road, I worked with many of your employees. Frank, Dan, Amy each of them worked diligently and very professionally with me. Please extend my thanks to each of them, and the others that I may have forgotten. Most of all, I want to express my appreciation to Stuart. Stuart hung with me from start to finish, and he was always available, supportive, professional, and dependable and too many other good adjectives and adverbs to list.
I wish you and your team the best of luck and fortune in the future. If you ever need a reference - pick me."
Warm Regards,
