After moving to the U.S. from England and beginning her career in the IT industry, Kinga saw a problem that needed to be fixed.
There was a disconnect between job seekers and employers, leading to a frustrating recruiting process and, worse, poor hires.
So in 1998, Kinga started her own search firm—Leaders IT Recruitment in Lincoln, Nebraska— to bridge the gap, and she hasn’t looked back since. The firm has grown organically through satisfied clients’ word-of-mouth referrals and blossomed into Insight Recruitment which, 20 years later, has worked with job candidates and businesses across the country by setting the bar for what a recruitment agency should be.
“We get our clients’ attention by giving them the clarity they need to make better decisions for themselves,” Kinga says. “We’ve helped candidates secure truly life-changing jobs, and we’ve made a massive impact on companies needing the right mix of people to ensure their success continues.”
Kinga sees the right qualities in applicants and the bottom line for businesses. She makes sure her small-but-mighty team keeps its eye on one thing above all else: follow through.
“Our tools, strategies and focus have evolved like any growing business, but our core values have not,” Kinga says. “We focus on quality, high-touch service from the start, and our passion shows. I’ve been lucky enough to hire people who align with Insight’s philosophy on service.”
It’s that partnership attitude that differentiates Insight from the crowd.
She moved into recruiting to take her career to the next level, and she draws on her experiences in customer service, hiring and teambuilding when she guides employers and candidates through the recruitment process.
“I enjoy being in the recruiting business because I like building relationships with people and learning about them,” Dani says. “As a recruiter, my ability to get to know people becomes an asset because I am able to not only learn what companies are looking for but also discern which candidates have the skills and personalities that will fit their needs.”
She gets a rush when candidates and employers go from being a match made in heaven to new colleagues. Dani’s done it time and time again by being attentive, consistent and positive with every client.
“I have the best job in the world,” she says. “I help people move closer to their dreams by finding a job that they love.”
Shawn’s greatest skill is finding out what makes people tick.
Ever since she earned her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, she’s built a career around problem-solving. From lab work to marketing and now to recruiting, Shawn has a history of making connections and finding the right fit.
“I am always looking for opportunities to grow in my career, and this was a natural fit for me having worked as a scientist and as a product manager in a science-based business,” Shawn says. “I want to help others in my field grow, succeed and be fully engaged in the work they do because I know firsthand how important it is to feel like you are making a difference in the world.”
Shawn is particularly adept at coaching candidates on presentation skills and bringing out their technical expertise with polish and precision.
“I feel like presentations can make or break the interview, so I want my candidates to go into the interview feeling confident in their ability to present their data and showcase how they are a good fit for an organization,” she says.
As Insight’s Support Recruiter, Brittany makes sure our recruiting team is equipped for greatness.
With her background in the Military as a former Combat Medic and Sergeant, Brittany helps ensure our processes are running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
“I am a life-long learner and I attained my MBA to facilitate my growth and benefit others I work with. My role at Insight couldn’t have been a more perfect match for me in my life right now. I am directly responsible for helping candidates find their next role in life – here in the States and in Canada. It’s such an exhilarating thing to help others not only do better in their career but to be a part of seeing them fully realize their potential and be rewarded for it.”
Insight did an outstanding job of learning about our environment and culture. They learned how we look not only for individuals with the professional skills but also the personal inclination for learning and creativity. And they did an excellent job of representing our company to candidates.
Even though I’m fairly experienced interviewing I appreciated the resources and they made me feel more prepared and at ease for my interviews.
Great communications, knowledgeable and can find candidates for those hard to fill remote offices. Highly satisfied, well above average for IT industry knowledge by comparison with 6 other agencies used.
Great communications, very professional, and successfully locates good candidates. Keep doing a great job.
Overall, [Insight] is exceptional. They have the unique ability to find the ‘best-qualified’ candidates with great frequency. I can always count on [Insight] to provide me an unbiased assessment of a candidate’s skills and abilities. They are very thorough and thoughtful.
