Executive Search
In my 35 years of Human Resources, Kensington was the best I have ever worked with....
Kensington International recently led a successful search for us. It was successful due to Kensington International’s team being thorough, their attention to detail, their high level of customer service and ultimately their ability to be a strategic partner in the search.

I truly enjoyed working my Coach at Kensington. I liked her from day one - she is a very professional, sincere, understanding and caring person. She was a tremendous help to me in writing my resume, it hadn't been updated in 20+ years.
Kensington went above and beyond the call of duty. My circumstances were unusual and they created a custom program that worked amazingly well for me. My Coach was a star and I could not have handled my transition nearly as well without her.”
Everyone at Kensington are friendly and really helpful. The office spaces are well equipped. It is a great place for job searching and networking.
In my 35 years of Human Resources, Kensington was the best I have ever worked with....
"Everyone I had contact with at Kensington could not have been more professional and empathetic to those of us who are without jobs. They genuinely care about us professionally and personally. It really appears to be more than just a job for them."
I came to Kensington with little confidence based on my previous experience with other companies as well as my mistrust I had for my former employer. That misconception was turned around by my coach who proved a great source of information and a morale-booster immediately. She helped me re-do my resume, improve my searches and gave precious advice in real-life situations I encountered with un-cooperating recruiters.
I didn’t realize how valuable Executive Coaching could be to my development. My effectiveness as a leader improved significantly as a result of our work together. Kensington’s coaching raised my confidence and enabled me to learn new ways to approach critical business challenges and opportunities. I found their coaching to be very systematic and thorough. The assessment tools are excellent, the feedback is candid and direct, and most importantly the Coach was invested in my success. As a high potential executive at a leading health system, this investment by the organization is not only appreciated, but has already provided a tangible return on their investment.

I've had the opportunity to experience the talent and commitment of Kensington from two different perspectives. First, as a client. The level of service and quality I received in placing senior leaders with my former employer was outstanding! More recently my perspective was when I went through transition and received their outplacement services. The experience changed my life quite frankly. By the end of my engagement and thanks to my Kensington coach, I was truly prepared to take on my dream job. That was 3 months ago and today I'm in the field I continue to love (Human Resources) with an amazing organization. Thank you Kensington for an unparallel professional growth experience!

Outplacement Candidate
My experience with Kensington International was outstanding. I am truly grateful to my former employer for purchasing the program for me. I had not had to search for a job in close to 10 years, and the job search process had evolved substantially over that time period. KI helped me get current with the latest techniques in networking, resume preparation and job search strategies. These have been invaluable to me in an extremely competitive job market and I hope to continue to use many of the things I've learned, even after I land my next position. Keep up the great work!!!

I would also like to thank you and Kensington for the support and the knowledge I gained from going through the outplacement process. Kensington has been first class in every regard during my transition.

This was, by far, a better experience then a previous outplacement assistance program I had in the past, especially the introduction to online resources.
Outplacement Candidate
This program was very educational, especially for individuals who haven't conducted a job search in this manner. All of the staff, instructors, and facilitators were very professional. They were very knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. I was very impressed with the staff and services that were afforded to me.
Outplacement Candidate
Everyone that I worked with at Kensington was very knowledgeable and helpful during my job search. I wouldn't have been as prepared as I am now to continue my job search without the help of the coaches and everyone else at Kensington International. Thank you for all your help and encouragement during a difficult time.

The coaches are a great asset for Kensington International. They are consummate professionals who listen well, gently challenge you in ways that move you to a new and better position, offer point and counterpoint suggestions on written and verbal approaches; demonstrate they care; etc. They are successful because they truly enjoy mentoring each of us through this stressful transition and they are always there when you need their advice. I would not have succeeded this quickly without their guidance.

I would like to thank you for the way that you have assisted and befriended my mother through such a tumultuous time. She is such the go getter and so essential to the lives of all that know and love her. I think that this is helping her to feel better within that someone is taking time out of their day to help her through this job lay off process. I have hope that she will be back working soon. The company that get’s her will be amazed at the way that she can work circles around her youthful co-workers. Have a nice day.

As an identified high potential executive at a global manufacturing firm many investments have been made in my development. But it was not until working with my Coach at Kensington International that I truly began to understand my strengths and weaknesses and what changes to my approach were important to my advancement as a leader. The assessments and feedback methods as well as the observer dialogue they facilitate were key to the process of helping me understand where I am making positive impact as well as those areas where I was inadvertently inhibiting the organizations effectiveness. I have no doubt that I am a more effective leader as a result of this time well spent.

I live two states away from my consultant (my previous company has an office near the Kensington facility) but we held regular phone conversations and exchanged regular emails. Even though our relationship was long distance, Linda was always available for me with a new idea or perspective for my situation. She was a joy to deal with and knowing she was available for me helped ease my transition. She is a great asset to Kensington and someone I will keep on my permanent networking list.
