What our clients say...

In my opinion, Kensington Consulting has been a very valuable partner to Oerlikon, especially in regard to higher level technical positions in the area of Additive Manufacturing where we lack the expertise and talent pool required for our growth.  

The account management has been responsive and crisp and the team at Kensington has been quite flexible and accommodating when it comes to complying with our processes, policies and requirements for vendorship.  

I would recommend they be added to the program at Oerlikon as a global supplier because they are a knowledgeable partner that is also reliable.

Key Account Manager,
3D Printing Company 

Throughout our collaboration, Zak demonstrated exceptional professionalism and proficiency in understanding our company's needs and the nuances of our industry. His interactions were fast and seamless, providing timely responses and assistance whenever required. Zak displayed a keen ability to identify highly qualified candidates swiftly, showcasing a deep understanding of our requirements. In fact, his efforts were so effective that we found ourselves presented with not one, but two exceptionally promising candidates. As a result, we are currently considering expanding our team by filling the position twice, a testament to Zak's outstanding talent acquisition skills.

Fritz Lange, Co-Founder & CEO
3D Spark 

Kensington Additive has an excellent understanding of what Velo3D needs, and this is demonstrated by the quality candidate profiles we receive. 

The biggest benefit we have gained from using Kensington Additive is their knowledge of the additive manufacturing market. They really understand the nuances involved in the industry and can place people in different roles and job functions with minimal ramp-up time for each position. 

The feedback they provide to us is valuable, too. One thing we appreciate is how communicative and transparent the team are Kensington Additive is with us. They are honest about the challenges they face in the market, or in the hiring process. They are also open and flexible with our process, too.  

Despite the geographical time difference, Kensington Additive provides Velo3D with quality candidates in the U.S. The firm’s excellent track record of successful job placements, and their ability to recruit across the U.S. market, means we will continue to partner with them for our future recruitment needs.

Elizabeth Downer, Vice President of People & Talent,
Velo3D​ 

Kensington has a proven track record of finding great candidates and great employers, fostering the right match for employer and employee. Kensington is well connected and appreciated in the industry. Their approach is sustainable where they also guide the candidates transition to a new company giving candidates additional support in the first weeks of their new employment. 

While we put a big emphasis on gender diversity at DMG MORI, Kensington supported our mission by introducing us to outstanding female talent and talent from various backgrounds. Working with Kensington, helps us to communicate our vision and our added benefits for employees from all backgrounds with the highest levels of integrity. 

Thanks to Kensington’s experience in the industry, we have tapped into creative ways of recruiting exceptional talent. Kensington puts an emphasis on high quality candidates. They always care about the role and holistic fit in the company and introduce candidates with aligning interest and backgrounds. 

We chose to work under a long-term agreement, as we have launched a major initiative for investments in our infrastructure and organizational development. Developing an organization requires more involvement from the recruiter and it felt like the best way to involve Kensington in our strategic plans and help them suggest talent that would support our long-term strategy. 

I would certainly recommend Kensington to anyone who is looking for a recruiter that brings industry expertise, a unique approach to identifying talent and supporting the transition from recruitment to employment. It also should not go unnoticed that working with the dynamic team at Kensington has always been refreshing and a great pleasure!

Mark helped me land one of the most exciting jobs in my long and exciting career! Mark is pleasure to work with as he kept me informed throughout the process and navigated lots of obstacles to make the process as easy as can be. I cannot find enough words to describe how much I respect and value Mark’s professionalism, his calm demeanour, and his very organised mind that made the whole process, believe it or not, a great experience.

Faisal Al Toukhy, Director of Software Development,
Essentium, Inc. 

We are very happy about your work and that we have chosen you as our partner. The recruitment of this position is crucial for our expansion on the US market. We needed a partner that has the required network, can organize interviews with appropriate candidates and helps us with the selection. You exceeded our expectations positively. 

Your selection of candidates included several very well-fitting persons. We very much liked the way you made the first video interviews; this has been an excellent basis for our first decision whom to invite for direct talks. The organization of this second round of talks has been very focused and efficient, and finally led to the recruitment of the perfect candidate in quite a short time.  

You have been a great support at all stages of the recruitment process, you showed great flexibility, competence and acted as a real partner. Due to our very positive experience, we will call you first of all, as soon as we have another position free and need help with recruitment. Thank you very much for the excellent cooperation.

The quality of candidates presented by Kensington Additive was good, and I feel the reasons for this is because of Kensington's knowledge of the 3D printing industry, and Liam's flexibility to readjust the candidate profile. We started off unsure of the profile of the candidate we needed, and Liam helped us to refine the job description to find the right candidate. 

Overall, Liam has been sensitive to our needs and ensured that he presented quality candidates to us, because of this I would recommend Kensington Additive to other companies looking to hire in the AM industry.
