Chief Operating Officer
Make no mistake, KB Search Team produces RESULTS! They have successfully delivered for me on multiple searches across different industries, different markets, different levels in the organization, and different job functions. Yet despite these differences, the end result is always the same – a talented professional joins our team with the right skills, experiences, and culture fit. Thanks, KB!
Phil
Office Manager
I felt well cared for during this process. I did not feel like I was being taken advantage of, that my candidate was being coached into expecting more money from us in order to increase the profit to the “sales rep”, nor did I hear “this candidate has several other offers on the table you need to be aware of so you may want to offer them more money to start with to be more appealing than everyone else. I did not feel like I was just a steppingstone on the way to your company earning more money off our need to fill a position. We made our offer based on what we could afford and what we felt the candidate was worth, and it was accepted as that. I appreciate that. I got a true sense that you are in the people business, not the enhanced money-making business.
Melissa
CEO
Pat was extremely supportive and approachable. Crossroad would definitely work with KB again in the future as needs arise.
David
Director of Operations
Bollhoff recently worked with Brenda and the KB Search Team on a senior leadership position in sales. We ended up hiring a great person who was exactly the team member we were looking for. What impressed me was Brenda taking the time to come and visit our facility and ask many questions about the perfect candidate for us. This allowed her to understand and appreciate what we had to offer and now she could convey that to a candidate. This personal touch is a great advantage when working with a local firm.
Chris
Human Resources Manager
Pat McCombs is the best recruiter ever! She understands our plant culture and does an outstanding job of finding candidates to fit in our plant. Couldn’t ask for a better partner.
Tedya
Safety Manager
Not only did Brenda find a successful candidate with food background and a solid work history, but she nailed the values that fit our culture. It was the “service after the sale” that won the day! Brenda stayed in close contact with Stacy to make sure that Stacy was pleased with her decision to join Weaver Popcorn.
Rick
Candidate – Customer Service Manager
Pat was amazing! She walked by my side through the entire process/journey! I was thankful to have her support.
Deborah
Candidate – Chief Financial Officer
This is the second time I have used KB and I really don’t think I’d change any of the processes. Everyone I have talked to with KB is very professional and really wants to help you. Great team effort!! Thanks!
Jeff
Candidate – Selection Coordinator
Susie was supportive and constantly checking in with me to make sure I was doing well and giving me encouragement throughout the interviewing process. It was really helpful that she had worked previously with the company I was hired at and knew what they were looking for.
Kristine
Candidate – Vice President Human Resources
Pat McCombs was great through this entire process. She is warm, genuine and I still can’t believe she thought of me for this position. I think it I am a great fit for Dekko.
Chris
Candidate – Cost Analyst
I would rate you a 10 out of 10 . . . I love my current job; I was nervous about moving to a new state and trying to get a job at the same time. Susie was so supportive and knowledgeable. She kept in great contact with me almost every day. She knew what positions would suit me the best based on my experience and what I was searching for, she moved the process right along, securing my new job happened so fast with her help! She made sure to get me something before my move to make the transition easier. I cannot say enough good things! I have already recommended her and the team to others! If for some reason I find myself looking for a new job in the future, I will turn to the KB Search Team again. Thank you all for the wonderful service, you may use my comments for marketing purposes.
Kenadi
HR Generalist
Murray Equipment, Inc. has recently partnered with KB Search Team to help us grow our engineering team. I have specifically been working with Brenda and she has been excellent to work with on many of the important elements of the hiring process. It’s more than just getting the best skills and experiences, but the right personalities to build a successful team for our growing company. Within a matter of a day, I had a diversity of highly qualified candidates to choose from and within a week and a half after our initial meeting, we had our first job offer. Brenda worked diligently to find the right candidate always, even when a curveball is thrown and plans change. It’s a delight to partner with a professional, meticulous, and reliable team that provides superior customer service to our company as well as the candidates. Great Job, Brenda and the rest of KB Search!
Cassandra
Candidate – Purchasing Administrator
Pat provided me with a ton of information and tips before the interview. I’m certain that’s a huge part of why I received an offer.
Alicia
Search Committee Chair
Brenda Wylie-Biggs provided world-class leadership to the Search Committee of the RONALD McDonald House Charities of Northeast Indiana. Brenda’s ability to locate a wide range of qualified candidates and screen them for the Committee was just what was needed. Brenda’s diligence enabled us to successfully interview these quality candidates and was provided much-welcomed counsel as we developed and presented our offer. We could not be more pleased with our new Executive Director. Thank you, Brenda!

Human Resources Director
Whether I need a professional or contract employee, Brenda Wylie-Biggs is the first person I call. Within a matter of hours, I have a variety of qualified candidates to choose from. Brenda is the person I trust with confidentiality.
Elaine
Executive Director
Hiring KB Search Team to find us a Director for our new not-for-profit was one of the best decisions we made in 2010. We struggled for at least 10 months trying to figure out the best course of action and in 10 days they helped us locate a Director perfect for the role. They were true professionals advising us on appropriate HR rules and best practices to launch our candidate into the role. I’d recommend them highly to anyone.

Melissa
President/CEO
LH Industries has enjoyed our partnership with Kathy and KB Search Team staff. Their high level of professionalism and gauging of customer needs with well-screened and competent candidates has served our company well. Our first call when employee needs arise is to Kathy and the KB Search Team.
Bruce
Board Chairman
No one in the Community Harvest Food Bank family looked forward to the challenge of finding a successor to our beloved Executive Director following her untimely death last summer. The Board realized that selecting a new leadership team was perhaps the most important work we would ever do for the food bank. We wanted a search process that was fair, transparent, and thorough.
We retained KB Search as our partner in the selection process based in no small part on their track record of success in filling not-for-profit leadership positions in Northeast Indiana. The team at KB Search exceeded our expectations throughout the selection process. KB Search identified a deep pool of talented candidates, scheduled first and second interviews, pre-screened potential candidates, and provided important insight as we evaluated our leadership options. Their professionalism was only eclipsed by the genuine care and concern they expressed for Community Harvest Food Bank. The team at KB Search is not only great at their work; they embody goodness that distinguishes them personally and professionally.
Thanks in part to the efforts of the incredible professionals at KB Search; we reached an exciting solution that was unanimously adopted by our Board. Community Harvest is fortunate to have partnered with KB Search. We are hopeful that we will not need the services of a search team any time soon, but if we did, our first, and only, call would be to KB Search.
Matt
PHR, Director of Human Resources
I have worked with Pat and KB Search Team for many years. They do a great job of providing candidates that match not only the technical skills needed for the position but also someone who fits the culture of our organization. It’s a pleasure to partner with a professional, hard-working team that provides outstanding customer service to our organization as well as the candidate.
Kim
Manager Human Resources and Security
We recently engaged KB Search Team to locate key players for our organization. The team delves deeply but expeditiously to understand the need. On each of the searches, they found an exact match in terms of both company, personality, and job responsibility to our needs. The entire process was professional, expeditious, and highly communicative every step along with the search, interview, and hiring stages.
Tim
Vice President of Operations
KB Search Team has been tenacious in leveraging its network and expertise to locate the right people for key positions within our organization. Our experience has been extremely positive, and Rhonda has come through for us countless times under tight deadlines to locate top talent.
Jeff
Culture & Talent Retention
There is nothing that I would change in the process at all. Working with Pat is great. Would you like to provide any additional comments about your experience? Pat and I have fairly clear communication and that is why it works well. She understands the initiative and follows through in fulfilling our needs. Professionalism, attentiveness, and integrity are imperative, and KB exudes them all. Pat, in particular, is nothing shy of fantastic in her role.
