What our candidates say
Very friendly and incredibly efficient, Zak helped me to successfully land the role I applied for. Zak provided consistent and frequent support throughout the entire recruitment process, with prompt responses via LinkedIn, phone, and email. All my queries were handled professionally, and the appropriate information was found out when needed. As a British national working in Germany, I was also impressed by Zak's accommodation and understanding of the various bureaucratic complexities of recruiting a foreign worker. Overall, an excellent experience with Zak and Kensington Additive: would fully recommend to anyone looking to pursue a new role or career within the Additive Manufacturing space - even outside of their own country.
In some of the toughest months this year (with Covid cases and layoffs increasing everyday), I get a call from Mark, regarding what soon would be my new position. Right off the bat, Mark displayed a high quality of professionalism and knowledge in the engineering/additive manufacturing world and was able to accurately describe the company and role to me.
In the weeks that followed, Mark did a great job in preparing me for the interview process, setting my expectations, and followed through with me until I got my offer letter. I would say the part that impressed me the most was how well aligned the role was to my skill set and interests. Truly it was the perfect match for me, and Mark made it all so seamless, something I am truly grateful for.
I would highly recommend Mark's services if you are trying to fill a role with suitable talent.
Liam, I wanted to personally thank you for your time and consideration for the RENA Additive Manufacturing, North America position! You were always on top of my questions and persistent in getting the answers needed. You truly went above and beyond what I expected out of a recruiter. Thanks again for your time and for working together to get me to the next level!
Mark contacted me on LinkedIn regarding a job that was not on my radar despite having looked for a few months. Originally it was more junior level than I was looking for, but Mark was able to help negotiate it up to a more senior role, with a considerable salary and responsibility increase. He also fought hard to secure a good signing bonus and relocation package. All this was right before COVID hit, so I can't thank him enough for quickly and effectively helping me land my new role!
Coming from a laser cutting background and looking for a way to get into the additive field, Phil was able to find a position that fit my skills and met the requirements of the position. He also did a great job of presenting my abilities and experience. When there were delays in the interviewing process he was persistent and provided great guidance in the salary negotiations. I am very pleased with the experience and the opportunity that came as a result!
Going through an interview process is a very stressful experience. I am glad that I was finally able to find such an amazing recruiter as Phil. Not only does he review your resume, but during the interview with him, he recorded an introductory video where I was able to articulate my skills in a much more comprehensive and impressive way than would ever be possible with a written resume.
He then submitted the video with my resume to the company and now I have the job I was dreaming of. During the video process, he led me with direct questions to bring out those soft and often not - articulable skills that never make it onto a resume, like “Why do you like what you do?”, “What is your philosophy about a position?”, “How is what you did in the past going to help your new employer?”, “How good are your presentation skills?”
With his process, all these are being brought forth and become part of your resume the employer gets to review. I am highly recommending Phil to anyone who either needs to recruit or is looking for a job.
Phil was most supportive during the whole process of the search and negotiations. It’s not often when you work with a recruiter who has your best interest at heart and balances their benefit with yours. I received valuable and sincere advice throughout. Professional group whom I recommend to anyone in the additive industry looking for growth with top companies.
Zak helped me a lot during my job search by suggesting a very interesting job position to me and guiding me through the company's recruitment process.
I was approached by Zak when I was looking for a new job as a software developer. He suggested a very interesting job position that greatly matched my profile. Since it is quite common in my field to be approached by recruiters, I really appreciate being notified of an offer that aligns very well with my interests.
Zak guided me through the recruitment process, and being able to discuss with an ally is very helpful in that sort of situation. I was given helpful pointers and tips and had the opportunity to share updates and unpack things with him regularly via email or on the phone.
Overall, I really appreciated the help and care, and I wish all head-hunters were like this.
I really appreciate your help in trying to find me a good fit in the Additive Manufacturing industry! You and Jordan are true professionals! I really appreciate your time and help! I will refer you to my AM colleagues without a doubt. You and your team deserve the best. Please let me know how I can help you in the future!
I am totally happy with your service. The process was uncomplicated and fast. Also, the preparation for the job interview was a very good service. The preparation gave me an idea of what to expect. In addition, the tips and expertise from your side helped me a lot. Without your service, I would not have this awesome job in this exciting new industry.
I found the recruitment process with Henry to be a success; it was outstanding. The benefits of using a recruiter were that it took the stress off my shoulders while hunting for a new position to further my career in Additive. Henry guided me throughout the entire interview process. At first, I didn't understand exactly what was going on, and that's fine. It was my first time using a recruiting agency, so I was a little bit new to it, and I just kind of let go of the control and let Henry steer me the whole way.
This is my first time going through Kensington Additive. If I ever need to use or get help again through an additive headhunter, I'll definitely go through you guys because, right now, you guys get a grade A plus. I would recommend Kensington Additive. Kensington Additive presented me with one position, and then, since that one didn't quite pan out, there was automatically another position ready for me to dive into. I'm happy beyond my wildest dreams right now.
Furthermore, the ease of getting the job was amazing. I've been hunting for jobs for about eight months. I want to further use all of my abilities and advance my career in additive manufacturing. And after submitting my resume to Kensington Additive, you guys took the reins and guided me through all the hardships, landing me the job that will promote my skill set as well as provide the financial backing I wanted. Kensington Additive gave me everything I needed, and I look forward to doing great things here at Farsoon Technologies.
Zak and I connected while I was in the middle of a job hunt, and it was a blast from start to finish. He listened intently as I spoke about my previous job experience and future career goals, and quickly paired me with an engineering position I was very interested in.
Although I ended up accepting an offer with a different firm, Zak made the process a breeze: vouched to the employers on my behalf, set up an interview time and date, and briefed me on the company and how I should prepare for the interview, not to mention he was extremely personable and cordial the whole time! Even if it is many years down the road, if my employment situation was to change and I am in need of a recruiter, Zak will definitely be one of the first people I reach out to.
Keep up the great work!
This is my first time using a recruiter, and it has been a great process. I'm very happy with the experience, and I would definitely recommend Kensington Additive to others looking for opportunities in the 3D printing industry.
Henry takes his role seriously, and has a surprising insight into the AM market, along with human character. He keeps abreast of industry news and technology releases, and where each OEM has a space in the market. This information is not only gleaned from articles but also from boots-on-the-ground investigation and interaction.
You can trust a fisherman, to understand the subtlety of an art form.
I found the recruitment process at Kensington's first class, from beginning to end. The approach was very professional, and Phil was very candid about the opportunity, which made for good communication. He was also very thorough, without being overpowering.
When entering into this process, I hadn't had an interview for a number of years, so Phil gave me guidance and support through this. There was a presentation I had to do, and his feedback gave me an extra level of confidence, which was a really valuable part of the process.
You often see that recruitment gets a bad reputation, but this experience was at the opposite end of the spectrum. On this basis, I would most definitely recommend Kensington Consulting's recruitment services.
My overall experience with Kensington Additive was really positive. I wasn't used to the approach that I had with Phil, where he followed up with me after interviews and had conversations around salary expectations. Phil checked in with me before I started my role to make sure everything was okay, and he was always available to speak. Due to this, I felt there was a personal touch.
Phil was really great in coaching for the interviews, and the communication was good. I really appreciated the honesty and transparency, and I put my trust in Phil. He always did what he said he would.
I was genuinely surprised by the fact that when I had my first conversation with Phil, he'd actually taken the time to look at my LinkedIn resumé, and on this call, Phil was very inquisitive of my experience and explanatory of the job opportunity.
I never once felt out of my comfort zone, and when I started in the role I felt very welcomed by the company, as it's a very good cultural match for me.
I would recommend Kensington Additive to anyone looking for a role in the 3D printing market.
Changing jobs during COVID was probably not the best time, but Mark was a huge asset to my search. Even though he was in the UK and I was in Midwest USA, he was always easy to get ahold of and quick to respond. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have found AdvancedTek. I am Truly happy to have worked with Mark and couldn't be happier with my new role!
I really enjoyed the recruitment process with Kensington Additive. Henry is a great guy. He made sure that he covered all bases and he kept to his promises. He was very accommodating despite the time difference.
When Henry first got in touch, I wasn’t looking for a role, however, not long after speaking with him my circumstances changed and I quickly became involved in the opportunity with Shapeways. The recruitment process happened very quickly, and I am now looking forward to starting my new role.
I found the recruitment process to be one of the best that I have ever experienced.
Liam did a fantastic job in understanding my requirements and truly cares for his clients. He went to bat for me and pushed my profile until we found a suitable position.
Communication was hands down the absolute best. Liam was available to me at a moment’s notice and went above and beyond what was required. He made me feel like I was the most important person, truly a VIP experience.
Keep doing what you are doing. The company has a recipe for success and obviously has developed a great work culture.
I would highly recommend Kensington to other job seekers. I am personally excited to meet Liam next year at RAPID.
I found the recruitment process with Kensington Additive both easy, and painless. Liam made the first contact with me, and we had a good conversation before he put me in touch with the hiring manager at Velo3D. There was a long round of interviews, and Liam made sure to touch base to ensure everything was going okay and answered any questions I had.
I feel that Liam's communication was good, and he even contacted me on his day off. He remained supportive throughout the process and prepared me accordingly.
I would recommend Kensington Additive's recruitment services in the 3D printing market.
Overall, the recruitment process with Kensington Additive was great. Angelika offered a lot of support, and interview preparation tips which I found really useful.
Her communication was excellent, and she was always on hand to answer my questions. If she wasn't going to be available, she would let me know.
I have used recruiters in the past, but I found Kensington Additive to be the most professional and their knowledge of the 3D Printing industry was excellent.
I would recommend Kensington Additive to anyone looking for their next role in 3D printing.
The recruitment process with Kensington Additive was great. It was my first experience with an external recruiter. Angelika was always in my corner and helped along the way with aspects such as the contract and salary negotiation. Angelika was very transparent with me, and she was always championing me throughout the process. She gave me good feedback, and always helped to answer any questions I had or information I requested.
The biggest benefit of using Kensington Additive is having someone directly advocate for you. I have been rejected from roles in the past despite having relevant experience, and I feel that Angelika helped to translate my key strengths, and this had an impact on my application and being progressed to the interview stage. Also, I would never have known about this job as it wasn't advertised. Angelika spoke to me about the opportunity directly, which I am thankful for as I would never have otherwise been aware of the vacancy.
I have already recommended Kensington Additive to people in my network!
The overall service with Kensington Additive was very good. Working with Kensington's allowed me to get the help that I needed. The support I received from Angelika was great as she helped me throughout the interview process, allowing it to go smoothly. Angelika had great communication skills and she gave very helpful advice, especially when it came to making my decisions and negotiating.
When applying for roles in the past I found the application process a lot harsher, as I am not as successful compared to working with a recruiter. When working with Kensington's, I felt the application process is treated a lot more fairly due to Kensington's being professionals in the 3d printing industry, and selecting the best candidates suited to the role.
I would definitely recommend Kensington Additive to those looking for work in the 3d printing industry, it was a great service. I don’t have any feedback for improvements as I don’t think there is anything that needs to be improved on.
The recruitment process with Kensington Additive was great overall, Jordan was very reactive and responsive even outside of working hours.
Jordan ensured all of my questions were forwarded over to the team, which led to a fluid process of the company learning more about me, and myself learning more about them.
This is my first time using a recruiter, and I am happy with how it went. I would recommend Kensington Additive to others looking for work in the 3D printing industry.
Zak has been extremely helpful with recruiting process going beyond and extra with his outstanding recruiting skills to make the process smooth and more reliable.
Furthermore, Zak is not only an expert in recruiting but also a great mentor and coach. He has provided valuable insights, advice, and resources to help prepare for interviews and enhance personal brand during the recruiting processes I am extremely happy that I got to work with him.
I started my recruitment process with Liam for a Senior Sales Manager position. I went through the entire process and I got to the final two, unfortunately they chose the other candidate. However, everything from the video interview, consistent updates and feedback was great. I really felt like I had an advocate on my side and that because of this I had a better shot.
I had my first interactions with Liam, and although I wasn’t successful in landing the job I then had an opportunity to speak to Phil about other opportunities. Everyone was so professional and communicative.
When working with recruiters in the past I felt like I was just a number, but with Kensingtons it was a different feel. I could tell that Kensingtons just want the best outcome for their candidates.
Another thing to mention, is that Kensingtons specialise in the Additive Manufacturing industry and they know the market really well. Even if there isn’t a suitable live vacancy, they know which companies will be hiring and what jobs are in the pipeline.
I would recommend Kensington Additive to others who are looking for a job in AM.
I found the recruitment process with Kensington to be outstanding. It was a very logical and well-thought-out process, with great communication. I was supported every step of the way, with consistent interview preparation and feedback.
Kensington has a good understanding of the 3D printing market, which really helped them to find the right person for the position.
When I have worked with recruiters in the past they have focused on quantity and volume of candidates, whereas Kensington Additive focused on the key requirements.
I can’t think of anything that Kensington can do to improve their service, and I would recommend Kensington Additive to anyone in my network looking to hire or looking for a job.
James was so professional and helpful in my recruitment process. He is a solution driven individual, I would definitely recommend him and want to work with him again.
I applied for the Business Development Leader role that Kensington Additive was advertising and Liam got in touch with me about my experience. I appreciated Liam's work; he was very efficient and quick with his feedback. He always made himself available to answer my questions, and he enabled me to decide to accept an offer with the company as I did have another opportunity I was considering.
Whatever Liam told me about the job from day one matched the facts that the employer provided too. Sometimes I have experienced recruiters selling jobs where there were inconsistencies, but this was not the case with Kensington Additive.
I felt supported throughout the process. I feel that engaging with Kensington Additive helped me to secure this position. Liam conducted a video interview with me, and this helped my employer’s decision, as the questions that Liam selected for this interview were very useful.
I don't feel that Kensington Additive could have done anything differently, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a job.
