Let’s hear about AddUp’s K360 experience in ramping up hires to support ambitious European expansion plans.

Cécile Durin, Chief HR Officer, AddUp, shares her insights on why Kensington 360, the best part of the service, and the results.

 

The brief

 

AddUp first engaged with Kensington360 in 2021 as it executed ambitious expansion plan across Europe. The organisation wanted to partner with a specialist 3D printing recruiter to support its growth. 

 

Why Kensington 360?

 

“We needed a partner who could deliver an aggressive ramp-up in hires. We requested proposals from different companies, and the best offer came from Kensington360. It was tailor-made to our needs and structured as a real partnership.

This wasn’t a one-off recruitment contract; we wanted someone who could support us and represent the company. Since then, it has worked very well and I only have good things to say”.

 

Best part of the service

 

“Overall, the service has been excellent”.

 

“What I value most is the regularity and structure Kensington360 provides. The recruitment missions are handled and managed extremely well.

When we receive candidates from Kensington360, every question I ask is answered, and the execution is consistently strong. The consultant systematically debriefs both me and the candidate, and I have very little to do because everything is taken care of”.

 

About the relationship

 

“The feedback is always reliable.”

 

“With most recruitment agencies, you have to chase them and remind them you exist. That doesn’t happen with Kensington360. Even when our usual point of contact is away, the handover is seamless, which tells me this consistency is part of the business, not just one individual.

The feedback is always reliable. I don’t see discrepancies between what I’m told and what I hear from candidates directly”.

 

The results

 

“I can’t offer areas for development. And I would recommend Kensington360’s recruitment services”.

 

Due to our ambitious European hiring plans, Kensington360 supported placements across Germany, France, and Italy, even though these were not native markets for them, and it was a smooth process throughout.
