Working with Kinsa

Our promise is to provide our client employers with the "ideal match", the talent who most optimally fits your company's philosophy and culture. By focusing on the best interests of both parties - and by drawing on industry experience and accredited assessment services - we are able to offer the best hiring solutions. There's and ideal out there, and at Kinsa, we are comitted to helping you find it.

How we go about finding your ideal candidate is up to you. We created 3 search package options for you to choose from because we realize that every company and every search is unique.

Retainer Package: The Retainer package is the closest partnering Kinsa Group offers - a true extension of your HR Department and your top management team for hiring top executives or scarce high-level technical specialists. You get the full commitment of a Kinsa team to perform an intensive nationwide search for the very best leaders available. After finding these rare individuals, your Kinsa team will take much of the risk out of your final selection by pre-assessing your candidates at an in-depth level in the industry.

You receive consistent updated reports on the search campaign results, including names, titles, companies, compensation information, and reasons for interest/disinterest in your opportunity.

An Executive Search Strategist applies stringent performance-based assessment, customized to measure leadership and technical expertise via face-to-face interviews with all finalists.

We augment face-to-face interviews of finalists with a face-to-face assessment by our business psychology partners, Humber, Mundie and McClary. The psychological interview and tests measure intellectual and related abilities, personal traits, work style and inter-personal skills.

The ultimate outsourcing of assessment and evaluation to the Kinsa team reduces your management team's interview time and ensures the choice of the highest caliber people.

Your Search Strategist designs multiple offers to aid your executive team in determining a competitive offer.

We offer a six-month guarantee, one of the longest in the industry.

Priority Package: Primarily used to locate mid- to upper-level candidates, the Priority search offering focuses on the core steps of our proprietary process to provide a quality search with lower expense. Essentially, Priority is a scaled down version of our Retainer package and is geared toward clients that are more concerned about finding a candidate that truly fits into their organization rather than someone that can just fill the position. We know that any recruiter can find resumes of candidates, but it's Kinsa alone that has the key niche expertise, the access to a proprietary database of around 100,000 food professionals, and the marketing acumen to attract your ideal talent - all of which will make your hire not just a solution, but an asset.

Our Account Directors create close-to-the-customer communication channels to help manage your search.

Kinsa's Search Strategists, experts in the food and beverage industry, hone your search by analyzing and creating the focused,performance-based Position Profile that can be used as a permanent position description, not just a job order.

Your Web posting on Kinsa.com is a targeted source to attract industry candidates and promote your company to the thousands of food and beverage professionals that visit monthly.

A professional online accredited Type C behavioral assessment is done for objective analysis and benchmarking future development

References are probed against results of the behavioral assessment to confirm aptitudes and deficiences.

Guarantees minimum of three finalists within 45 days of the beginning of the search

Offers free replacement if candidate leaves within 90 days.

Choice Package: In today's job market, it is increasingly difficult to recruit and select talented employees. Yet Kinsa believes you should have the option of less costly,scaled-down, out-sourced search and assessment services. As its name suggests, the Choice package is all about option - it's an a la carte menu of services that provides you with an opportunity to pick and choose portions of our full-search process without paying a full-search fee. Choice Menu:

Recruiting Service: The Recruiting Service is the Choice package’s most comprehensive offering and features the core steps of our search process – specification, identification, and recruiting. An expert Kinsa Search Strategist creates the Position/Marketing Platform and the web posting. Drawing from the resulting list of approximately 100 targeted companies and titles, a discipline-specific Recruiter executes the search, pre-qualifies, and ranks the preliminary list of recruited candidates. The Candidate Evaluation document on each recruited candidate is forwarded to you, as are the Search Campaign Results.

Specification: Via our proprietary, structured interview with your company’s representative, we create a highly focused profile of you company’s opportunity. This then becomes the foundation for a written Position Platform that clearly specifies the performance goals, the profile of the ideal employee, and the Marketing Platform to aid in strategically promoting your opportunity. From this you can build a realistic position description and a targeted message.

Position Posting: A Kinsa Search Strategist will design a targeted and promotional web posting for you to use on the Kinsa website and elsewhere. Kinsa.com is a mecca for food/beverage professionals, enabling you to consolidate your career advertising to a specialty career venue with national/world-wide reach. Thousands of visitors per month, both from within and outside of Kinsa’s database, will see your posting.

Online Behavioral Assessment: A Kinsa Search Strategist will test your chosen candidates or employees with a highly accredited Type C Behavioral Assessment through our Psychological Testing Partners. As a proven hiring tool, this assessment will offer you objectivity in your hiring decision and a foundation for future career development.

Psychological Interview and Assessment: Kinsa’s Business Psychology partners conduct a face-to-face interview with your candidate or employee applying behavioral, aptitude, and personality testing. The results provide you with an objective and professional analysis, of whether the person is capable of performing successfully in a specified position. It will also provide results on the person's strengths,weaknesses and most importantly, the person's capacity for management and leadership.

Salary Survey: You specify the criteria: industry sector, geography, number of years experience, position title, and/or degree status. We match the criteria against compensation information, less than 1 year-old, in our proprietary database of approximately 100,000 active food and beverage professionals. You receive low-average-high salaries for the position title as well as a breakdown on bonus structures.

Reference Checking: In-depth reference checks can avert costly hiring mistakes. Ours deliver beyond the traditional names and dates of employment and salary. In 90% of the cases we are able to talk directly to past managers and obtain an in-depth report on a candidate’s performance. Their answers and opinions are summarized and sent to you in a written report.
