Building teams

Helping growing businesses plan, structure and recruit the team for sustainable and confident future growth.

KESS

Find the right person, or build the right team

Growth creates opportunity, but it can also expose gaps in skills, capacity and leadership. KESS helps you step back, assess what your business needs next and shape a clear plan for building a team that can support your ambitions.

We work with you to identify priority roles, define responsibilities and determine how new appointments should fit together. From reviewing your current structure and addressing capability gaps to planning recruitment phases and optimising role profiles, we help create a more considered route to growth.

With experienced, senior-led support throughout, KESS helps you recruit in the right order, avoid costly mis-hires and build a stronger, more balanced team. Our flexible approach allows us to support a single strategic appointment, a phased growth plan or the development of an entirely new function.

We take the time to understand the role, your organisation, its culture and the type of person most likely to succeed within it. From defining the requirement and optimising the job specification to attracting candidates, managing interviews, supporting offer negotiations and assisting with onboarding, we provide experienced guidance throughout the recruitment process.

With senior involvement at every stage, transparent communication and flexible fee structures, KESS helps you make better-informed hiring decisions, reduce recruitment risk and secure the people who can make a meaningful difference to your performance, culture and future growth.

“KESS have been a trusted recruitment partner to Holiday Extras for many years. They are hardworking, diligent and refreshingly no-nonsense: they take the time to understand our business, use their extensive network well and consistently deliver excellent candidates. What sets them apart is their judgement. They do the hard work of filtering the market properly, so they only put the right people in front of us, they won’t send three candidates when one outstanding candidate will do. They always follow up, always deliver and I would recommend them without hesitation.”
