Testimonials

"I am happy to speak on behalf of the Board that KLKingsley conducted a first class search for our CEO. We started the search with a conflicted Board regarding our next CEO...the process that was developed by KLKingsley gave the Board (and Search Committee) choice and thus results from our new CEO that are remarkable. The credit goes to Kate Kingsley and team...they brought us qualified candidates and a sound process. Our Board and our community have been very happy with our new CEO’s results."

"This is the first time we engaged KLKingsley and would use them again. We are very happy with their service, caliber of candidates, timeliness, and especially happy with the Vice President, Ancillary & Support Services they found for us.

Overall, they did a great job; extremely professional."

"One of the key strengths of KLKingsley is that they know the healthcare industry; they have a comprehensive understanding of what we do and how we do it, and this was very evident when we were looking for an Executive Director of the Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute.

Kate Kingsley and her team were up-to-speed extremely quickly and were soon sending us quality candidates with skill sets ideal for the position.

Overall KLKingsley acted as professional partners, which makes me very comfortable in working with them again."

"Kate Kingsley and her team are a 5 star organization, every time I work with them I am always amazed by the results they get. Not only the quality of candidates, but the professional way in which they keep us fully informed of what is going on - from the start to the final placement.

KLKingsley is a company with honesty, integrity and trust, and I put a lot of faith in Kate’s judgment, which I have benefitted from for many years."

"We have worked with Kate and her team at KLKingsley for some years, over several very diverse positions, and have found her services to be excellent. Their depth and knowledge of the healthcare industry is first class, as well as their candidate identification process. They have a real knack of finding strong candidates. Overall I like working with KLKingsley; they communicate well and really know the lay of the land."

"In the past we have always worked with ’contingency search’ organizations, but we knew our search for a healthcare financial professional was going to be a tough one. We have heard great things about Kate Kinsley and decided for the first time to hire a ’retained search’ firm. What a difference.

I would strongly recommend the KLKingsley team to others looking for a very professional service."

-Steve Valentine

"There are times when you have to go outside for help, and we chose KLKingsley to find a Vice President, Sales for us.

In my opinion, KLKingsley is a top tier executive search company in the healthcare industry."

-Dr. Bart McMullan
President
Regence BlueCross/BlueShield of Oregon

"Normally we use our in-house recruiting services, but with two challenging positions to fill, we retained Kate Kingsley and her team.

Working with KLKingsley was an enjoyable experience, efficient and effective, and the overall result was very satisfying. The next time we have a complex position, we know who to call."

"I just want to comment on the healthcare knowledge of Kate Kingsley and her team at KLKingsley.

MultiCare Health System is a Washington State integrated health care organization made up of four hospitals, numerous primary care and urgent care clinics, multi-specialty centers, and Hospice and Home Health services. We have high standards and knew finding an accomplished Director of Marketing would be a challenge.

KLKingsley visited us, talked through our requirements relating to job specifics and the Tacoma area, and the result was that there were two very good candidates for the job.

KLKingsley is great; definitely a company to recommend to others with difficult searches."
