-Trevor, Welding Engineer

I have worked with many recruiters over the last 20 years. Mike and Kenny are the best I have ever worked with. Things were different with KWKS and I won't forget. They were recruiters who consistently followed up with me and kept my mind at ease. If you are truly excited about a new job, you know how important that can be. They also truly cared about me and that really showed AFTER the contract was signed. Mike called me on multiple occasions after I took the job just to see how everything was going and if I needed absolutely anything. He was truly more like a friend by the end of our journey. I can't say enough about these guys!

-Jeff, Production Engineer

Kenny found an opportunity that fit my specific skill set. He followed up and keeps in touch! I’m loving the position, and am very happy I connected with him. I would highly recommend him for placement in Manufacturing related positions. Best!

-Brandon, IT Engineer

Matthew did a great job in finding me a position in the field I was looking for, got me great pay and benefits. I would recommend working with him if you are looking to find a new position.
