KENEKT GROUP, LLC.

At KENEKT Group, recruitment is in our blood! Our approach is far from generic – we believe in using an assertive and highly effective strategy that's customized to each client's unique needs.

Our focus isn't just on immediate profits. We're dedicated to building and nurturing relationships with clients and candidates alike, treating every interaction with the same level of care. With this approach, we're confident that we'll always have the right candidate within reach.

We're not just experts in engineering recruitment – we've successfully filled hundreds of key positions in marketing, sales, and manufacturing too! But we know that every client is different, which is why we work closely with them to design a custom candidate-screening process that meets their specific requirements.

Unlike other recruiters, we don't measure success by the number of resumes we can send for a particular role. Instead, we take pride in screening hard to ensure that we send only a few highly qualified candidates who possess both the soft and hard skills our clients desire. With this approach, our clients can rest easy knowing that one of the candidates we send their way is sure to be their next great hire.

When it comes to pricing, we're incredibly flexible, ensuring that our clients get the recruitment services they need at a price that works for them. If you're looking for a recruitment partner that truly cares about your success, then look no further than KENEKT Group!

Advisor

Technical Connections Inc.

Advising the Technical Connections recruiting team, helping to generate more revenue in order to take the team to the next level.

Kwalified LLC

Created ‘Kwalified’, a brand new concept and business model that greatly expands job seekers’ prospects in a competitive job market. Performed market research, designed, built and launched a responsive and easy to use MVP and tested with a group of early adopters (www.kwalified.com).

Co-Founder/Chief Marketing Officer

Betagig

Advised the company on new platform implementations, and helped move through a possible pivot. Unfortunately the company was deemed unscalable and the investors pulled out. Recruiting is a "hustle" business. It always has been and always will be. That said, I'd like to give a shoutout to Nicole Klein, Founder of Betagig. Had Nicole not been swayed by a particular incubator in the early stages, and had she released her initial Betagig platform, there is no doubt in my mind that the company would have ultimately been a multi-million dollar organization. Nicole is now a Senior Technical Product Manager at AWS in Seattle, WA. She is truly the definition of a rockstar.

Neohire South

Worked primarily with startups in the bay area looking to scale their companies and teams. The majority of my focus was centered around working with tech leaders looking to hire engineering talent. I was very instrumental in advising these clients on things from fundraising and pitch decks to best recruiting practices.

Senior Technical Talent Agent

Vertex Search and Consulting

By the age of 16 I was managing large accounts in the video game industry- EA, Activision, Nintendo, Disney, etc. By 18, I moved to SoCal to throw my recruiting career into full gear.

Senior Recruiting Specialist

I’ve been immersed in the recruitment world since I was 16, starting by placing executives at top gaming companies while still in high school. With a deep-rooted legacy in staffing from my entrepreneurial parents, I’ve transformed traditional recruitment into a fully customizable process, tailoring each approach to fit the unique needs of my clients.

Since 2012, I’ve been the trusted recruiter for tech startups and Fortune 500 companies, building high-performing teams in engineering, product, sales, marketing, and hardware roles at all levels. My efforts have helped propel companies like Flo Technologies and BisonTrails to successful exits, highlighting the impact of my talent sourcing on their achievements.

As a champion of gender diversity, I’ve revolutionized how diversity is integrated into recruitment, believing that a mosaic of perspectives is crucial for business success. I dive deep into understanding each company’s unique culture, ensuring that every candidate I place is not just a fit, but a key contributor to the team’s success.

What sets me apart is my approach to crafting narratives where each placement is integral to a company’s growth. I go beyond just matching resumes to job descriptions, maintaining an unwavering commitment to honesty and integrity in every partnership.

If you’re seeking a recruitment strategy that mirrors your company’s unique DNA, I offer a partnership that blends innovation with a daring edge. Together, we can redefine talent acquisition, building diverse and skilled teams that become the heartbeat of your company's success story.



In a nutshell, if you're looking for a recruitment strategy that’s as unique as your company's DNA, and a partner who brings a little edge to the table, let's connect. Together, we can redefine the art of talent acquisition, creating teams that aren’t just diverse and skilled, but are the heartbeat of your company's success story.
