Working with Kensington Additive, particularly Henry, was a very positive experience. From the very first interaction, Henry was incredibly motivated and proactive. He put a great deal of effort into understanding our requirements and was committed to finding the right candidates for our business. The recruitment process was smooth and efficient, and although we needed to fill roles requiring very specific knowledge and experience, Henry worked with us closely to find the right fit.

What stood out the most was the excellent communication. Unlike some agencies where communication can drop off, Henry maintained consistent and responsive contact throughout. Even though there was a time zone difference, it was never noticeable, his responsiveness often exceeded expectations.

He took the time to truly understand the details of our open positions, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring he had a full grasp of our needs. Once he had that insight, the process moved quickly and effectively.

Based on our experience, I would definitely recommend Kensington Additive to others looking to hire within this field.

Angelika first got in touch with me on LinkedIn. Her approach stood out to me because she specialized in the CNC industry, and 3Axis is 100% a CNC company. My experience with Kensington Additive was surprising. It is not easy to handle candidate profiles for another country and another language, and there was a result in the end. Angelika’s communication was very good, we spoke once a week and she was supportive. After one meeting with Angelika, she sent a candidate profile which was a success. 3Axis has not had success with other recruiters in Germany the way we have with Kensington Additive. I would recommend them to anyone looking to hire in this market.

Kensington has a proven track record of finding great candidates and great employers, fostering the right match for employer and employee. Kensington is well connected and appreciated in the industry. Their approach is sustainable where they also guide the candidates transition to a new company giving candidates additional support in the first weeks of their new employment. While we put a big emphasis on gender diversity at DMG MORI, Kensington supported our mission by introducing us to outstanding female talent and talent from various backgrounds. Working with Kensington, helps us to communicate our vision and our added benefits for employees from all backgrounds with the highest levels of integrity.

Amelia first engaged with my colleague, and in the end, I reached back out to her because we needed to hire, and the resumés Amelia were sending were of candidates who were a great match for what we were looking for.

That really stood out to me, she just seemed to understand what we needed. I have been disappointed in the past with the candidates’ other recruiters have sent, so it was great to have someone just get it.

It’s unusual that a recruiter in the UK was sending us the best resumés, but she consistently found us strong people, and that’s why I have continued to work with her.

At LVD, we are an OEM that manufactures industrial machinery, such as punch presses, brake presses, lasers, automation equipment, and so on. So, the people we need to hire need technical knowledge and experience.

Even with a limited budget, Amelia has been great at understanding our needs and has been flexible with us when they have adapted. A lot of Amelia’s hires are still with us and have developed with the business. Out of all the recruiters we have worked with, Kensington has been the best. Amelia even helped us find a great manager recently, and we’re really happy with that hire.

The communication with Kensington has been excellent. My own availability is often stretched as I wear a lot of hats here, but Amelia works closely with HR and honestly, if she sends over a candidate, 99% of the time we just move straight to interview, she’s that reliable.

The relationship is the biggest differentiator of Kensington from other recruiters. Amelia just makes you feel at ease, like reconnecting with an old friend. She’s personable, warm, and clearly doing her best for us. That one-on-one rapport sets her apart.

For people considering a career at LVD, we’re a family-oriented business with good job security. I’ve been here 35 years, and I only recall one layoff, and even then, everyone was brought back. We don’t over-hire, so people stay and build careers with us. There is real longevity and loyalty here.

Overall, I value the partnership and plan to continue working with Kensington.
