How KMA Recruiting Services Are Different From a Staffing Agency
At KMA, we take a fundamentally different approach from traditional staffing agencies. Our customizable model is designed to prioritize your business needs, timeline, culture, and budget. Here’s what sets us apart:
Flexible, Fractional Recruiting Support
KMA offers fractional recruiting support, giving you flexible, on-demand access to experienced recruiters who operate as an extension of your internal hiring team. Whether you need short-term help or longer-term support, we can integrate seamlessly into your existing processes and adapt to your needs.
Hourly Billing Model That Respects Your Budget
Unlike staffing agencies that charge high placement fees, KMA uses an hourly billing model, offering cost-effective, transparent pricing that aligns with your hiring pace and budget. You only pay for the time and expertise you use, with no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
A Complete, Custom Recruiting Process
We focus on your individual search, recruiting from start to finish for each role. Your candidates are sourced specifically for your business; we never market applicants to multiple clients. Our goal isn’t just placement – it’s creating a complete, equitable hiring process that results in the right long-term fit.
Dedicated Recruiter for Every Search
Every search through KMA includes a dedicated recruiting consultant who partners closely with you throughout the entire process. With a single point of contact who understands your goals, culture, and talent needs, you gain a true recruiting partner – not just a service provider.
How We Source Candidates
The KMA recruiting team employs a variety of strategies to mine for qualified candidates, including online job boards and professional social media platforms. Here are some of the tools we leverage to ensure a curated, high-caliber talent pipeline:
- Customized candidate persona with key attributes defined
- Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to source and engage with candidates
- Multi-channel outreach: internal referrals, LinkedIn, Indeed, trade associations, industry groups and alumni networks
- Advanced search tactics, including AI-powered smart sourcing tools

Recruiting Services FAQS
Our recruiting consultants consider themselves part of your internal HR team. We will run a full search on your behalf, taking it off your plate. We are not only representing and guiding you as your consultants, but we’re also handling the job posting process, receiving, and screening your applicants and managing the recruitment cycle entirely for you. We are here to ensure a thorough, fair, and efficient hiring process.
A download call is our dedicated strategy session to fully understand the role and what success looks like. During this conversation, your recruiting consultant will ask detailed questions about the position’s responsibilities, the work environment, and the key requirements. We’ll also walk you through our process and outline what to expect along the way. Whenever possible, it’s best to have the hiring manager for the role join this call.
Once your recruiting consultant completes your download call, they will aim to have a job posting ready for you to review within two business days. After the position is posted, we will monitor applicants and begin networking on our end. We plan to begin phone screens with candidates within a week after the posting is live on job boards. You can expect to see candidates approximately two weeks following the download call. Your recruiting consultant will update you along the way if we anticipate changes in this timeline.

Your engagement is key to keeping the process moving. In today’s market, candidates move quickly, so timely feedback on resumes and prompt scheduling of interviews helps us maintain their interest. We also network to uncover strong candidates who may not be actively job searching. When speaking with these individuals, we encourage you to put on your “sales hat” and be ready to showcase your company as an exciting opportunity.
Yes, more job boards are requiring salary ranges to be posted, and in some states it’s now a legal requirement. In today’s market, many candidates also expect greater transparency and want more details about a role before applying. Sharing a salary range does not lock you into a specific offer; we will still partner with you to negotiate based on the candidate’s experience and skills when appropriate. If you would prefer to keep salary information confidential, please let us know.
Along with the expertise of our in-house compensation team, we have access to comprehensive nationwide salary data. We can provide a market assessment for your open position tailored to your hiring area, organization type, and size, to help ensure your compensation is competitive.
We wish there were a magic number, but applicant activity depends on many factors, including job location, benefits, required skills, and overall workforce availability. Because these variables are always shifting, it’s important to act quickly when a strong applicant is identified. While our goal is to present 3–5 candidates at a time, we won’t hold back qualified individuals. We’ll send them to you as we find them, since candidates are moving fast.
Once we’ve screened candidates and recommended them for interviews, the rest of the process becomes “a la carte” recruiting. We can schedule interviews, develop interview questions, sit in on interviews, assist with negotiations, draft or review offer letters, and support you through the final steps. If you’d prefer to take it over at any point, we’re happy to step back and let you lead the process. That’s the flexibility of KMA’s recruiting model. We just ask that you keep us updated so we can close the loop with other candidates.
Invoices are issued by the 15th of each month and reflect the work completed during the previous month. This means that when a hire is made, the final invoice will follow in the next billing cycle. Because recruiting involves extensive behind-the-scenes work, particularly in the early stages, we’ll keep you updated along the way so you always know what’s happening.
Our recruiting process runs in cycles. In the first week, we focus on research, posting the job, learning about your company and culture, and evaluating the market. The following days are often quieter as we concentrate on networking and sourcing to build a strong applicant pipeline. By weeks three and four, activity ramps up with candidate screenings, interviews, and scheduling. From there, our goal is to move qualified candidates forward to interview with you.
At KMA, we go beyond matching resumes to job descriptions. We start by taking the time to understand your organization, its values, culture, leadership style, and the qualities and skillsets that make employees successful in your environment. We then tailor our search and screening process to identify candidates who not only bring the right skills and experience but also align with your company’s culture. Through initial screenings, in-depth interviews, careful research and the professional experience of our recruiting team, we ensure that the individuals we present are positioned to thrive in both the role and your particular workplace environment.
KMA uses leading-edge recruiting technology to reach the right candidates efficiently and effectively. Our applicant tracking system helps streamline job postings, organize candidate information, and maintain clear communication throughout the hiring process.
