“I hired Kelly for an AI job search strategy session, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made.
She provided great insights, helping me refine my resume, target the right opportunities, and optimize my LinkedIn presence. Her strategic approach, combined with her deep knowledge of AI-driven job search tools, made the process smoother and more effective. I am excited to put into practice the tools and systems she taught me. Beyond her expertise, Kelly was incredibly supportive and encouraging, which made a huge difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, results-driven approach to their job search!”
Jessica Ryan, HR Generalist
“The structured framework made even complex challenges manageable, and I saw immediate results. The NLR program has set me up for long-term success!
With just a couple of years in HR, recruiting was newer to me, but the Next Level Recruiting training changed everything. Learning the 9 Stages of the Talent Acquisition approach helped me make ethical, informed hiring decisions while building confidence and strong relationships with hiring managers and candidates.”
Marquand Brown, Chief People Officer
“I have partnered with Kelly and her team at PKR on several different engagements in two completely different industries, and I could not be more pleased!
Kelly and her team really spend time digging in to learn about your company culture. They then use that information, coupled with the skills and experiences required, to bring in the best talent to compliment our team and company. In my prior role, Kelly and her team were instrumental in helping us find sales talent across several states throughout the US. In addition to bringing in new sales talent for the company, the team also brought in great ideas to help streamline our internal recruitment process. In my current role, we are seeking the right medical imaging and nursing talent during an extremely challenging time in healthcare. Without a doubt, I knew PKR was the right company to help us find the right talent! This ongoing partnership has been a big success for the organization by substantially reducing our monthly spend on temporary labor across the system and in our success to attract the right talent.
Kirsti Coghlan, Vice President Human Resources

“Archway Programs has worked with PKR to fill several hard to fill positions on an ongoing basis and we are incredibly pleased with their services.
PKR is a robust recruiting operation. They source candidates quickly, assist in setting up interviews, assist in making offers, and communicate efficiently between Archway and the candidates. Because of this, they lift a huge burden of hiring off our shoulders. PKR's customer service is world class while offering a very affordable pricing plan with a high ROI.

“Kelly has been amazing to work with throughout my time working with her.
You can tell Kelly really cares about finding the right fit for my company. I gave her a very challenging task for what I am looking for in building my team to help grow my company. She has some amazing people on her team who have helped me out and are great to work with as well. Kelly and her team have found some amazing talent for me that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. If you are looking for someone to help with the hiring process I highly recommend Kelly and her team she has assembled. You will not regret your decision to choose her.

She has worked with me in a networking capacity, since I have been searching for a new opportunity, she checks in frequently, expecting nothing in return. In this day and age relationships are key, and Kelly is one that has mastered, the skill because of her empathy and humility.
