Kimmel & Associates Certification Program Continues to Educate Recruiters

September 11, 2006 -- Asheville, NC - In 2004, Kimmel and Associates began Certification, an in-house program that offers between 45 and 50 classes taught by senior consultants to new employees. The course is designed to walk new employees through the complicated and ever-changing landscape of a search, as each class aims to teaching them how to proceed thoroughly and properly, serving the clients for whom they work and providing opportunities for the candidates whom they meet.

On Monday, August 21st, the Fall 2006 Certification began at Kimmel, with ten consultants and recruiters attending the first of many meetings that will run into November. These eleven will bring the total number of recruiters at Kimmel to over 100.

COO Charlie Kimmel said of the program, “The Certification program proved that everyone, including the program presenters, can always learn more about his or her craft, and we feel that a well-trained consultant or recruiter comes out of the Certification program with more expertise and with good ideas from many different perspectives.”

Added Sean Doyle, a consultant who completed the program in Fall 2004, “Construction work is always changing. A construction executive needs us to be as smart and well-informed as possible, and the Certification program makes us that much more versatile and sharp.”

The Fall 2006 Certification program will introduce several new classes as Kimmel & Associates strives to make its staff the best-trained team in the Executive Search business.
