I was approached through LinkedIn by Karen. Karen has excellent insight on the potential of resource and accurately mapping with the candidates. Karen placed me with a firm not only based on my skill-set but also on my overall academic and work background. Karen was able to look beyond the "written skills" and placed me with a company in which I could thrive.
Karen's insight into the interview and hiring process was invaluable in my preparation for the interviews and subsequently my decision to accept their offer. The information Karen sent really helped me to prepare and is something no other recruiter had provided to me in the past. Personalized guidance based on situation - Outstanding, Accurate, Personable
A.S. ~ Manager FP&A
I was referred to Michelle and Dana by a mutual friend of ours. I get contacted by recruiters all the time, but they were by far the most professional, helpful partners in my job search. Dana really cared about finding me the right job and she was honest when telling me she didn't think a certain position would be the best for me. I found a great new job in the exact location of my choice. I would absolutely recommend KNM to anybody I know looking for a new job, and if I am ever in the market again, there is no doubt in my mind I would be working with the women at KNM again!
S.K., CPA ~ Tax Analyst
Liz messaged me on LinkedIn with a very interesting and competitive job opportunity. From there, I set up some time to chat about my interests and where I wanted to go with my future. Immediately, an interview was set up for me. With the help of KNM, I started the next chapter in my professional career. I chose KNM because they really care for their clients. They had a boutique shop feel with decades of experience and a wide range of professional connections. Everyone was upfront, honest, and respectful.
T.S. ~ Senior IT Auditor
Jennifer was very transparent with the role, the benefits, and expectations and the interview preparation was far superior than any other firms I have worked with. I really felt the KNM team genuinely wanted the role that best suited me. I never felt pressured to select their role over any other opportunities that I was considering. This was a very smooth experience and I felt very prepared for both interviews. I always knew what the status was and when I had a question it was always answered the same day.
D.B. ~ Associate Director
My job hunt took over 1.5 years. The KNM Resources team was always available to answer any questions I had and seemed truly interested in making sure the position was the right fit for me. They helped me navigate the tumultuous job market caused by COVID-19. Jennifer was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly and I only wish I had found KNM sooner.
S.D. ~ Financial Systems Analyst
I wanted to thank you for all of your help throughout this process. I have worked with other recruiters in the past and I can say that the care and attention that you gave me was far better than anything I have experienced with anyone else, and it did not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate your willingness to submit my profile even though I did not have financial services experience, as well as the time you took to prepare me for the interview. I am looking forward to my new opportunity and I can't thank you enough for everything that you have done.
C.S. ~ Big 4 Auditor
Dana’s profile seemed to be the most professional and the message she sent was what made me decide to reply. Once we spoke over the phone, I knew by working with KNM and Dana specifically it could potentially open many doors which ultimately proved correct. I had an interview with a top tier tax firm within days of our first contact, and not long after, had a great job offer. I couldn’t believe how fast the process was. The personal touch offered by Dana and Michelle really helped motivate me to make the jump with my career. They were always in contact and there for me every step of the way. Without their constant support I don’t think I would’ve been able to make the move so I am very thankful.
Thank you for your time and support!
F.C. ~ Senior Tax Associate
Once I decided it was time for me to leave Big 4 Audit, I knew I wanted KNM Resources to help me make that move. Being from Central Jersey, it was important for me to work with a local team that had connections with the top employers in the area. I worked directly with Liz on securing my new role. She helped me with every step of the process and she made it clear that finding the role with the best fit was her top priority. I couldn't be happier with my new job and I owe so much to Liz and the team at KNM!
M.S. ~ Manager, Technical Accounting
After spending over a decade with the same employer and making the difficult decision to leave, I wanted to partner with a firm that would understand my needs and goals. KNM Resources, specifically Dana Applegate, came highly recommended from several peers. After meeting with Dana she immediately understood what I was looking for and presented opportunities that fit my needs. No one from KNM was ever pushy or upset if I was not interested in an opportunity they presented. KNM was able to quickly place me in a position within a company that met all my needs. Throughout the process, KNM was courteous, respectful, honest, and receptive which is what sets them apart from the rest.
M.A. ~ Internal Audit Manager
I would like to thank Karen for providing exceptional support in my job search. She was extremely responsive to my requests and listened to what I had to say while providing great advice and insight. Karen is extremely professional and was supportive of my considerations for other positions that I was pursuing independently as she wanted me to find the best position for me. I have and will continue to strongly recommend Karen to jobseekers and employers looking to hire.
M.S., CPA ~ Fund Accountant
I could tell right away that Karen was invested in my career goals. Rather than attempt to quickly place me in the first few opportunities that opened up, Karen was very patient and waited until we found the right role for me. She was not only understanding, but encouraging, which ultimately allowed me to land the ideal job for me. I accepted an offer that was a great fit for the job responsibilities I was seeking, with a team that I felt I was a great fit for me. Even greater, the position was in an ideal location and had a very competitive compensation package that KNM helped me negotiate.
Karen and Michelle’s presentation of a candidate is truly respected by hiring managers. Additionally, Karen helped me prepare for my interviews in great detail – we went over what would likely be covered in the interview, prepared answers for questions based on my personal experiences, and I was kept up to date with the entire interview process as it unfolded. Overall I would describe my experience with KNM Resources as prepared, patient, and passionate.
M.D. ~ Senior Accountant
I liked that Liz was upfront and informative about the positions and companies KNM works with. She followed up with me every step of the process and made sure I was informed, and I understood the next steps. I landed a job with one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the area. Liz was friendly and knowledgeable on the positions offered. I’ve had conversations with other recruiters for interesting jobs, but they weren’t as informed on what the job entitled and didn’t prepare me like KNM did for the interviews.
C.N. ~ Senior Auditor
I was referred to KNM Resources through a friend when I was searching for a job. Karen was very helpful when I went to see her at the office. She went through my resume, strategies, and questions that the interviewer might ask. The process went very smoothly and couldn't have got this job without her help. She guided me from beginning until the ending. I had a very good experience and they will definitely help you land a great job.
R.P. ~ Collection Coordinator
I had an amazing experience with KNM Resources. After meeting with them I knew I was partnering with the right team. They encouraged me to pursue opportunities that would advance my career and that would be a good fit for my skill set. Every step of the interview process was met with preparation and advice. I walked into the interview fully confident and ready for each question. As a result of the hard work I was able to obtain a position at a more prestigious company with a step up in title and salary.
C.J. ~ Senior Internal Auditor
Originally, I was contacted by KNM and after speaking with Jennifer and discussing the role available I wanted to learn more. She was very informative, patient and helpful from the beginning to the end! All of the data they sent (tips, suggested questions to study and information about the company) was GREAT! Working with them was extremely different because they work with you every step of the way and give lots of suggestions and tips to land the role.
D.P. ~ Human Resource Business Partner
I worked with Karen at KNM on being placed in a senior finance position. From the outset, Karen spent a good deal of time getting to know me and where I wanted to go with my career. Having been a finance professional herself, she understands the industry very well and is an excellent counselor and advisor. She helped sell my resume to her client (who may not have otherwise considered me for an interview), prepared me for the multiple rounds of interviews and negotiated a competitive compensation package. She was selective in which opportunities was a good fit for me and her clients. After being placed, Karen followed up with me after 3 months to see how things were going. What sets KNM apart is the thoughtfulness they put into every search and the rapport they build with each candidate and client.
J.C. ~ Hedge Fund Controller
When looking to make a change in my career KNM was a great partnership not just to find a new job, but to find the best opportunity for me. Dana helped me to not only interview well, but also find other companies that I may not have seen that would be a great fit. She really got to know me and understand why I was looking and what my priorities were - to help focus my search, get interviews, turn interviews into offers, and select the best one for me while managing the relationships with all. Highly recommended as they are a great balance of personal and professional, and very effective!
J.R., MBA ~ Senior Financial Analyst
I was referred to partner with KNM Resources due to their past success in helping job seekers find respected positions of employment. Michelle genuinely cared about my personal aspirations, they wanted to know my background, experiences, strengths and weaknesses to diligently find the best fit for me. KNM Resources was also able to offer valuable professional advice with tips for my resume and interviewing. KNM Resources has provided me with exceptional assistance and service to get me where I am today. I recommend KNM Resources for anyone who is looking for an encouraging job search experience.
C.E. ~ Staff Accountant
KNM reached out to me about a position based on my resume, and as it turned out, it couldn't have been a more perfect fit if I tried. They really nailed it when it came to matching the job requirements to my experience and expertise. KNM Resources truly prepares you thoroughly for that first, big interview, the one that will tell an employer if you're truly a great candidate for the job. They made me feel confident, prepared, and ready to take on the interview without any trepidation. Their experience and knowledge about the company gave me the extra edge I needed to ensure I was prepared to present them with the reason why I was the best fit for who they were looking for. KNM ensures that their candidates are prepared, and they answer any and all questions and concerns prior to interviewing. It's imperative to know you can garner their support, and they do so with integrity and honesty. I have worked with several recruiters and nobody in the industry can hold a candle this group. I can attest to that because they found my first dream job and 13 years later, they helped me find it again. It's their dedication, to both the candidate and the client, that sets them apart from the rest. Thank you, KNM team, for all of your hard work!
A.T. ~ Business Project Manager
After a long time with my previous employer, I was looking for a new opportunity. I did not have a great experience with one of the larger recruiting firms and was skeptical to use one again. A friend referred me to KNM, and it was greatly different than what I had experienced in the past. Karen and Michelle were attentive and really made an effort to understand what I was looking for with my next opportunity. Because I had spent a great deal of time with my previous company, I only wanted to make a change for the right prospective position. KNM was understanding of this, and I did not feel pressured to simply accept any job that came through. They were extremely responsive when I would reach out to them and were available throughout the process. To this day, I am still in touch with KNM as they often check in to see how I am doing.
I could not be happier with my decision to use KNM, whose focus is to match the right individual with the right job!
S.D., MBA ~ Manager Debt Compliance, Finance
KNM Resources provides superior service and follow up. In my search, other recruiters would often reach out, but never follow up. They viewed me as a number to reach their daily contact goals. Jennifer’s focus was on me, and my long-term happiness. As a result, I received an offer from an amazing company, and I can’t wait to begin my new journey with them. KNM Resources is a customer focused firm, ensuring the needs of their clients remain their top priority.
M.E. ~ Compliance SME
My experience working with Karen and Michelle was exceptional. From initial contact until they successfully placed me into my desired role, they consistently supported me in my career search. I spent an exhaustive search for the right recruiter. After my initial meeting with Karen I was convinced KNM Resources was the perfect opportunity to assist me in taking my career to the next level. Karen and Michelle went above and beyond to ensure I was adequately prepared for interviews and provided me with in depth information regarding potential employers and the hiring managers to assist me in my decision making process. Unlike previous recruiters Karen and her team were always readily available to answer any questions or concerns I had during the search process. They were never pushy, and afforded me the freedom to take my time in making the decision that best suit my career interests. Transparency and open dialogue at its best. I highly recommend any candidate to contact KNM Resources!
T.K. ~ Senior Accountant
I partnered with KNM because they were able to find a great position that fit exactly what I was looking for. Dana remained diligent and helpful through the search and interview process. In addition, the industry knowledge KNM had helped sell me on a fantastic job that I would've missed otherwise and their keen insight into interview preparation and what to look for in the interviewee led me to make my decision.
S.S. ~ Staff Auditor
I liked KNM’s style compared to larger firms that are less personable. Dana followed-up regularly and kept me in the loop. She didn't pressure me to go for jobs that I wasn’t interested in, and she took the time to understand my interests. Michelle had an established track record with companies and real working relationships with their Senior Leadership. The information provided while prepping for interviews was informative and valuable, and helped build my confidence. KNM helped in all aspects of the job search from negotiating salary and benefits to my resignation letter. It was really a great overall experience!
J.S. ~ Finance Senior Manager
I chose KNM Resources because they had jobs that fit my skill set. They placed me after my 1st job match and interview. What set KNM Resources apart from the rest was that they made the recruiting process a personalized experience and spent quality time preparing me for the interview. My experience with KNM Resources was easy, detailed, and pleasant.
D.L. ~ Senior Accountant
I partnered with KNM, because Jennifer reached out to me with an opportunity that was relevant to my experience and would allow me to grow professionally. I ended up with a job at an amazing company. The KNM team is honest, and they are not pushy. I had enough time to think and make a decision regarding the job opportunity they presented. KNM has been so reliable, convenient, and respectful.
A.A. ~ Staff Accountant
I applied for a position then shortly after, a KNM recruiter contacted me. It has been two months that I have been working in my new position and I love it. I dealt mostly with Karen who guided me in the interviewing process step by step. She knew exactly what the company required, which made the process much easier. Karen is very personable and easy to work with. All of the other KNM recruiters stayed on top of e-mailing me and reminding me of the interviews and offered flexible times for any questions or concerns. The results were wonderful. KNM is honest and knowledgeable.
A.X. ~ HR Generalist
I chose KNM Resources because after speaking with Karen, I felt that she cared about trying to establish a professional relationship and really understanding my needs as a candidate. I was offered an opportunity which fit exactly what I was looking for and I accepted the offer. What set KNM Resources apart from the rest was that as a candidate, I felt like KNM Resources really took the time to understand the opportunities I desired. She would review the job descriptions with me every time before sending my resume out and kept me updated on everything. Partnering with KNM Resources made me feel like they valued me.
