(Posted on Linked-in) “I've known and known of Kevin Keifer for over 15 years. While I was still in the semiconductor industry, he would contact me occasionally, collaborating about positions of interest for myself and colleagues. Kevin always struck me as genuine guy and had a reputation for professionalism and for forwarding the interests of clients and candidates equally, but it wasn't until recently that I learned just how responsive and helpful Kevin is.

After losing track for a few years, I re-connected with Kevin to ask about his knowledge around a particular field. Not only did Kevin get back to me immediately, he enthusiastically gave of his time and expertise. Even though Kevin's phone was ringing off the hook and our own call got interrupted twice, he called me back each time and went to great effort to ensure that I was taken care of. In the end, Kevin opened up his vast Rolodex of contacts for me at no gain to himself. I've always been a little shy of exectuve recruiters. However, this guy is a helpful and consummate professional with tons of contacts and the underlying relationships to make them accessible. I encourage anyone seeking professionals or a profession in the semiconductor industry to reach out immediately to Kevin Keifer.”

December 2009

I am very pleased to write this recommendation for Kevin Keifer.  I had the pleasure of working

with Kevin in my recent job search in this 2009 economy.  I had moved across the country and

was out of a job in three months.  It is tough all over.  I put my resume on the usual job boards,

and his company contacted me.  Less than six weeks out of work, I have a good offer sitting

on my desk.  From the time that Kevin started working with me, I was impressed with his drive,

determination, and tenaciousness.  He was my connection to a new company, and I am pleased

to say that Kevin met and exceeded my expectations.  I had some interviewing skills, but his

preparation really helped make me comfortable in the interview.  Kevin is a very talented placement

professional.  He has a gift for knowing the companies and getting to know you, so when the

interview happens, it is immediately clear that the “fit” is incredible.   I have no hesitation about

recommending him highly.
