Sales and Marketing Recruitment is What We Are Good At - Period.

We at KAS Placement believe in providing our clients with the highest level of dedication and quality of service. To ensure that we are working to the best of our ability, we have chosen to narrow our focus to sales and marketing recruiting. By choosing to work exclusively in these fields, we feel that we are better able to do better research, conduct our searches more thoroughly and make better informed decisions about potential candidates. We pride ourselves at being experts at what we do and believe that the quality of service in which our headhunting team provides is more important than having more clients than any other agency. KAS Placement will only take on enough clients whom we can handle and never get over our heads, thus being unable to complete each of our marketing and sales staffing requisites. Our marketing and sales recruiters actively staff employment applicants both domestically and in all Canadian Provinces. Furthermore, we only take on positions which are business to business sales and pay a base salary with full benefits.

While other executive sales and marketing recruitment agencies will take on just about any open job requisite, the marketing and sales recruiters at KAS Placement stick to what we are good at - business development and marketing staffing. Every recruiter at KAS Placement is either a marketing or sales expert and this allows us to complete each position in an accurate and very timely manner. Despite the frequent receipt of requests to help new clients fill such positions as HR, accounting, engineering, temporary or administrative, we immediately shy away from the potential business. Occasionally, our sales and marketing recruiters will take on an information technology job, though this is just because that Ann Finch, one of our sales recruiters, has fifteen years just focusing on IT job placement staffing. Every now and again, a current client will ask us to fill some additional, sales and marketing unrelated positions, and if we have enough time, we will complete it. Though, having the time to actually take on these recruiting requests often becomes a conflict of time. For new clients, KAS Placement solely does marketing and sales executive level headhunting. Some of the different sales and marketing placements our recruiters take on include new business acquisition specialists (hunters), dedicated account managers, channel sales representatives, sales engineers, inside sales managers, outside sales representatives, product marketing specialists, television and radio marketing job applicants, print and online media marketing professionals.

Another advantage of our New York sales and marketing recruitment group and sales recruiters in Los Angeles possess is that all of our marketing is done in house by our recruiters. This is in lieu of other firms which either have a marketing division or no marketing at all. Moreover, since online marketing (social media, online media, digital media, Web 2.0, SEO, etc.) is the most important part of obtaining business and brand recognition these days, our social media and online marketing is all performed by our headhunters. Since our sales and marketing recruitment agency knows and understands the various forms of online marketing like the back of our hands, nearly every company who comes to us with marketing related executive search requests, turns out to be exceedingly happy with the results in which our sales and marketing recruiters produce. Aside from our Los Angeles and NYC sales and marketing staffing agency, if you are located in the Midwest, feel free to reach out to our Chicago recruiters.

Extreme Dedication to our Sales and Marketing Recruitment Initiatives

If KAS Placement cannot complete a staffing request, we will find someone who will.

Our Motto: Never Waste Our Client's Time

The marketing and sales recruiters at KAS Placement believe unless we are absolutely sure that an employment seeker fits nearly all of our client's criteria for hire, we do not present them to our recruiting client. We understand that our clients do not pay us the fees they do to see subpar job candidates. Sending these people in is simply a waste of our time, the potential employee's time and our client's time. As sales and marketing recruiters, it is in our best interest to only send pertinent resumes and subsequent job applicants to our clients. If we failed to do so or continued, as it's commonly known, throwing applicants against the wall, our staffing clients would no longer look at our resumes. This is part of what makes our sales and marketing recruiters different and more successful than most recruiting agencies.

Upon weeding our sales professionals, we look for people who have sold our client's product or service before (or a very similar offering), are willing to cold-prospect either via the phone, internet, email or utilize current industry contacts in order to meet with decision makers. The reason why some sales people are very successful and others are not is that effective business development representatives form long-lasting relationships with their clients. Additionally, our sales and marketing recruitment agency always keep in mind that our clients need to get a return on invest from these individuals. Therefore, if an employment applicant has a quota of $100,000 yearly and our client's average sale price is $500,000, we decline to present them to the hiring manager.

Learn the Client's Industry

Before our sales and marketing recruitment agency even looks at a resume, we do extensive research on our client's industry. The executive staffing agents at KAS Placement do not simply work off a one page job description as this is only helpful to a certain extent. If the product or service is very technical in nature, it could take up to two days to fully understand the product, however it is worth it. While other executive recruiters will use this one page description, submit resumes and hope for the best, the headhunters at KAS Placement, following research, will know exactly whether the applicant is a fit or not. Nearly 80% of all resumes we've send in to clients, result in an interview. Some longtime clients will just take our word as to whether or not they should call the individual in for an interview.

When our staffing agency gets to this particular point with a client, our placement ratio is over 90%.

Giving Our Recruiters a Vested Interest in Client Success

Since its inception, KAS Placement has made all its employees partial equity owners of its sales and marketing recruiting firm. This gives everyone at the company a vested interest to make KAS Placement, and subsequently our clients, as successful as possible. Upon getting a new staffing assignment, our sales and marketing recruiters have an internal meeting on how to best staff the particular project and work tirelessly until we find the right candidate(s) for our client. We don't consider our job a nine to five occupation. Our executive recruiters are prepared to work as diligently as possibly to ensure complete satisfaction from our clients. We are invested in giving all of our clientele the best possible service - better than that of any of our competitors.

Great Reputation with Sales and Marketing Job Applicants

Having a good reputation with job applicants opens even more doors to recruit from.

Throughout the years, executive sales and marketing recruiters have always received highly positive feedback from the candidates with whom we work. We are not a firm who makes a quick phone call to an applicant, sends his or her resume into a client and then fails to return phone calls or emails. Our staffing agency cares about each and every one of the applicants we work with on a personal level and will do everything we can do find them the position they deserve. Due to a good working relationship with all of our candidates, we constantly have a large pool of applicants whom we can call during a particular search in addition to our internal database full of prequalified sales job applicants. The KAS Placement recruiters are also constantly looking for new applicants who fit the requirements of whatever position in which our executive sales headhunters happen to be working on. Moreover, our sales and marketing recruitment agency actively searches the largest internet job boards, newspapers and classified listings.

Even if our marketing or sales recruiters have not met or spoken with an individual, sales employment seekers with come to us anyway. This is due to a great reputation and a consistency in having new job openings which are easy to access, easy to apply to and are varied in industry vertical. Candidates will come to our marketing and sales recruiters several ways. First, our staffing agency receives a large amount of inbound calls from people who were referred to our sales and marketing recruiting agency by either a friend or colleague. Also, job seekers know that we only take on certain clients and will never post a job that does not have a base salary or does not pay benefits. Second, KAS Placement's sales employment staffing professionals receive many job applicants through national newspapers and online job sites who will actively visit our open jobs and will repost them throughout the country. This is great marketing for us, because over the years, these reposts have allowed our sales and marketing recruitment team to make a name for itself in the marketing and sales recruiting vertical.

Due to a great reputation with candidates, many executive and managerial level employment applicants will frequently search our website. Due to a presence in various areas throughout the country, upon finding out that we are working on a job which is a fit for their background, those in the Midwest, instead of contacting our New York recruitment team or Los Angeles headhunters, can reach out to our Chicago recruiters. This highly respected corporate status additionally allows KAS Placement to have a large applicant following on Twitter. Since we can reach several hundred job seekers within a few seconds via this social media site, our recruitment team can sometimes immediately help our clients find a few applicable employment candidates.

An Uncanny Ability to Provide Our Sales Recruiting Clients with Revenue Generating Employees

Upon staffing sales professionals, we have one end in mind: make our clients money

When staffing or recruiting for sales and marketing representatives, KAS Placement's first priority is to recruit only those job applicants who we feel have the ability to make a positive difference in our client's organization by driving new revenue. There are many qualified sales representatives who have large sales numbers on their resume, however this does not tell the entire story. For example, if a sales representative has worked for HP in the past, large sales on their resume come as no surprise. The majority of the time, if you were to put this type of Fortune 500 experienced sales representative in a mid to small size company, it would be a culture shock.

This culture shock is due to several reasons. First, these sales or marketing representatives have been able to rely on the name of their company to get them in the door, or most of the time, the clients would come to them. Some examples are Cisco, AT&T, Microsoft, Bloomberg, GE and Coca-Cola. When many salesmen or saleswomen are working for these organizations, they have an entire staff of marketing professionals and customer support representatives. Therefore, through experience, our sales recruiters understand that these representatives typically don't take customer complaints, write RFPs, partake in marketing and advertising initiatives and much more. Because of the aforementioned reasons, KAS Placement will usually keep sales representatives in firms in which they are accustomed to. When we are staffing a marketing or sales professionals for a smaller company, our executive headhunting agents look for job seekers who have had successful experiences working with younger firms which have less than 100 million in annual revenue.

However, this rule is not true in all cases. If our recruiters feel that an individual coming from a large, well-known organization can do well for a smaller, lesser known company, our staffing agents will present them to our client. On the flip side, if after several interviews, KAS Placement determines that a particular sales representative is better suited for another company, we will not present them to our current client. Instead, we file their resume in our database for future reference. Since KAS Placement works with organizations of all sizes ranging from international, Fortune 500 companies to smaller organizations which are looking to gain additional market share, we are able to find a broad base of diversified applicant positions in all different types of career seekers to thrive.

Quick Turnaround Rate

Clients are not paying money in order to wait months prior to receiving good resumes.

KAS Placement is not the type of firm who takes months to come up with resumes to present to our clients. By no means do our sales recruiters rush when making a placement, however we are a lot quicker than most companies. This stems from a very hard work ethic and an abundance of avenues which we can explore to locate the right applicants. Unless a client specifies to wait on the hiring, KAS Placement begins the candidate search as soon as we receive the job requirements. We understand that our clientele base is not compensating us to move at an exceedingly slow interviewing pace. Therefore, KAS Placement's marketing and sales executive recruitment divisions are able to present job applicants in a quick, accurate manner.

This quick turnaround rate is partially due to the fact that our recruiters study each client's business. Even if we have extensive experience headhunting within a particular client's industry, we know that every business is different and every potential qualified job seeker, despite a resume, may not be qualified. For instance, just because a company is in social media this does not mean that they are good for any and all jobs within the vertical. Therefore, our headhunting team, prior to looking at resumes spends a good amount of time looking at our client's business model, their competition, their reputation within a particular industry, any press releases, backgrounds of management and more. Once we are done with this, finding the resumes for our recruiters is one of the easier parts of the hiring process. Most clients who work with us, are quite impressed with not only our accuracy, but our very rapid turnaround.

Intelligent Sales Recruiters

We highly compensate to procure the best talent.

Every one of KAS Placement's sales recruiters comes from a prestigious educational background. This is extremely helpful when a client comes to us with a very specific set of requirements. Being able to comprehend what is a fit for the client and what is not takes thorough research and a discerning eye. With only a few exceptions, KAS Placement's sales recruiters come from top 25 schools. Having this type of sales recruiting edge over our competition is priceless. Rarely will KAS Placement train a recruiter who does not possess an admirable work ethic and unique creative ability. Through our hard work and dedication, KAS is consistently able to rise above our competition.

Our recruitment team comes from a very diverse background - probably more diverse than any other staffing organization currently in business. Our marketing and business development experts come from backgrounds such as corporate sales, corporate marketing, acting, public relations and accounting. However, there is one thing in common - a proven intelligence. This is either through a very differentiated interviewing process, graduation from a top school; our New York recruiters often hire from NYU and our LA recruiters often look to UCLA . Some of us have an executive MBA or great professional experience in an unrelated, though highly competitive field. By having a diverse staff, KAS Placement's marketing and sales recruiters are able to take on even the toughest of recruiting challenges.

Hard Work

Our determination and dedication consistently place us ahead of our competition.

If you were to ask our clients or job applicants how long it takes for us to respond to an email, the answer would be, "within minutes." Our staffing agents work around the clock, and you will often find someone available from 6 a.m. (sometimes earlier) to 8 p.m. This is in order to make sure that our marketing and sales recruiters are almost always available to respond to our clients' and applicants' requests or inquiries. The companies with whom we work with quickly recognize our tireless work ethic and the multitude of benefits from choosing to work the KAS Placement group of marketing and business development executive headhunters.

In-House Trained Recruiters

Only on rare occasions will KAS Placement accept a resume from a former recruiter

The majority of KAS Placement's sales recruiters come into the company and recruiting industry from prestigious educational backgrounds but with little previous experience as a recruiter. Due to our highly specialized sales and marketing recruitment process, we prefer to train the right individuals from the ground up rather than hire staffing agents who already have their own recruiting methods. By looking for key characteristics such as a strong work ethic, ambition, dedication and creativity rather than focusing on industry experience, we have found that we have been able to build a more dynamic and innovative team. Our executive sales and marketing headhunters have the ability to rise to any recruiting challenge and have an unparalleled diversity of skill sets and expertise to offer.
