“Engaging, dependable with great account managers”
I find KMK Recruitment to be very engaging, dependable and high in integrity. Within all of the companies I have worked for I’ve continued to use KMK for their cross market knowledge and they have continued to identify several people for our company successfully. Additionally, when I have been in need of immediate short term staffing assistance; KMK was quick to help. The team are always efficient at their job and it’s a pleasure to recommend them as an accomplished recruiting agency. Amy, Senior Talent Acquisition Manager, HR, Global PR

KMK are delighted and excited to be celebrating our 10 year anniversary this month.

In January 2009, in the midst of a recession and with Michele heavily pregnant, we took a leap of faith and have never looked back.

KMK would like to thank all of the people who have supported us over the years, from our clients and candidates to all of the girls who have helped building the KMK brand and made us the family we are today.

We have very much enjoyed the last ten years, seeing the recruitment business continuously changing and evolving and very much look forward to the next ten.
