What is Kalmar Commit?

Kalmar Commit is a monthly retainer consulting model designed for companies that already have an internal HR department or ongoing recruitment needs—but not at the leadership level that would require a full retained executive search.

It’s built for companies that want to elevate their internal hiring capabilities with the guidance of an experienced partner—without outsourcing their recruiting function.

I engaged Dylan to find our new marketing manager just 22 days before some extended time out of the office. I thought for sure we'd have to hold off until I returned. Nope! Dylan crushed it and found us the *perfect* person. I had a signed offer letter on my desk a week before leaving. The entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient. Highly recommend you reach out to Dylan if you're hiring for executive roles at your small business.

We had to quickly find a long-term leader who could hit the ground running in order for the business to not feel a lapse. Within a tight timeline, the Kalmar Group was able to share the company’s story and opportunity with a wide range of candidates, present a handful of qualified candidates to the decision-makers, and enable us to extend an offer to the best fit. The Kalmar Group’s ability to read people – not just resumes – put us in touch with candidates who were likely to fit into our “family” environment and excel in their positions.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Kalmar Group to find the perfect VP of Sales for my software company. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to bring a fresh perspective to recruiting really set them apart. They understood exactly what we needed and found a candidate who fit the role and our company culture. The process was seamless from start to finish, and their work ethic and commitment to a successful search were inspiring. I can't recommend Dylan and Kalmar Group enough if you're seeking a recruiting partner who goes above and beyond to deliver results.
